I am concerned with allowing fixed wing aircraft the ability to sink naval vessels. I am afraid this will severly limit the effectivness of an already ineffective aspect of the game.
Yes, but not entirely without merit
OK, but IMO it makes it a very difficult government to play. Point taken.
I see, but starvation is unfortunately an excessive and crippling penalty, and' I'm pretty sure this will be the outcome. It can be tested ofc.
It does make them different, but a social democracy definitely should have maintenance in my experience. I live in one
and it's definitely not full of corruption either. Perhaps the name should be replaced?
yeah, this is one that most players probably won't use, but I think there are a couple of civs that have this as a preference so its a way of handicapping the AI, if it needs it.Originally posted by RobO

I'm glad you did these things deliberately, though. You obviously think things through.

as far as starvation goes, just look at the theocracies in the world today, Iran and Afghanistan. Maybe not starving but definitley not thriving. Besides, by the time you can move into a Theocracy you should be able to farm, or at least you soon will and with farms most of your main city tiles should be producing at least 3 food, as long as you built on grassland or plains with a bonus tile. with farming plains will produce 3, grassland 4, floodplains and obscene 6, plus if you have any food bonus tiles, elephants for example
you could survive even with the minus 1 penalty. you just won't thrive.As far as social democracy and communal corruption. in this case don't think of it so much as corruption but simply as spreading your tax dollars around to the more "needy" and less well to do. The Social Democracy is a welfare state, not that I need to tell you, and the main goal is to make everybody suffer at the same rate. (can you tell I am not a big socialist).It does make them different, but a social democracy definitely should have maintenance in my experience. I live in one

Needless to say this really affects my trade
I have tried both building and not building harbors and I checked to see that coastal installation was checked and build near water is not. Same with shipyards. I simply cannot build on the second island.
I hope it works, because I like scenarios with a lot of water.
By George I think you have figured it out[dance]Originally posted by guidebookdave
I am new to this, but could it be that ports require timber (like shipyards?) I am trying out a variant where ports don't require timber, but shipyards still do.
I'll try it to see how it works.
- but using communal corruption has the side effect of affecting production, not just taxation. Too bad there isn't any way to just increase taxes for a government.

Yes it will fix the civilopedia icons - again.
Say, what are _you_ doing anyway - we still need civilopedia icons for the resources, unique animations for units that don't have them, etc. etc. etc....
I don't have any civilopedia icons for any of the new resources
Actually the best way to get full effect is - Start in Dos, type format c:......

). But, I will be updating some and will repost those that I missed. Guess this means that you will have to update the pediaicons.txt file... AGAIN! 
And fast...
Yeah, but I know my way around it now - anyway, I think I'll just postpone the patch for another 4-6 hours (who believes in scheduled release dates anyway
)
Thanks
