About governments.

[Propaganda]

Here's my setup. I'm playing on Marla Singer's map, using the WW2 mod as the civ3mod.bic. I'm playing against 16 other civs, whom I've already had contact with. My gripe is, everytime I check on the Army screen, to see which government the civs are running, they always come out to be Democracy. Is there any settings I have to tweak, to make governments, Monarch-Democracy ideal to everyone. I've already tried setting the favorite government/shunned government for each of the civs, but all of them always choose Democracy, even if I have it set as a shunned government for the civs. If you can, please help. I'd really appreciate it.

AFAIK, the favourite/shunned govt affects your relations with that civ. I'm not sure if it is one they will go for themselves. Here's my understanding of the AI's govt selection process.

If the AI finds itself in Monarchy or Communism, & has achieved peace, it often switches to Democracy or Republic, if Demo is not avail.

If the AI finds itself in Demo or Rep, & gets into war for too long, it switches to Comm or Monarchy, if Comm is not avail.

If the AI discovers a new govt while in Desp, it switches. I think the only exception might be an AI civ at war won't do the Desp->Republic switch.

Those were the only rules I've found. I think it is entirely based on War & war weariness. I'd love to see it work differently, but don't know if it can.

1 more thing, I have seen exceptions to these. But, I think this is the general formula.
