Has someone tested the real possibilities of the Feodalism Government ?
I read that it is good for small empire and that you must pay city improvement maintenance. I am playing a large map with approximately 100 Cities and wanted to switch from Republic to Communism... Just by curiousity I saved the game just before the end of the Anarchy and tried every possible Governements (except Fascism and Demo - my Civ has not discovered those gov)... I was a little disapointed to notice that communism gave me less scientific research (approx 550 pts) than the republic (a little bit less that 700) despite the smaller corruption. BUT I was completely stunned by the fact that Feodalism outclassed every other governements for the scientific research (more than 1100!). Indeed It does not require any maintenance for the buildings (the F1-advisor gives a 0 gp per turn for the maintenance) and thus I could put 90% of my funds to research and the remaining 10% to my treasury (to maintain my units.)
It don't know if someone has already noticed that (Feodalism beeing better than other gov for large empire)? I am playing the Mayans and their favourite Government is Feodalism, did it help (I do not know what the "favourite Government" mean).
PS : English is not my native language, so I am sorry for the mistakes...
