Feudalism seems a really crap government. I have used it once buit it wasn't really worth switching to in the long run. I think its of limited use in certain situations but i can only see myself using it in a religeous civ.

I once did some testing of the three first governments in various situations. I varied size of cities and terrain for each test. The government that did fairly well in all the tests was Monarchy. The government that did poorly in all the tests was fuedalism.

Wow its been like 6 weeks since I started this thread and visited this site and still the debate rages on. This has to be my longest running thread ever!After all this time I still think feudalims is crap and that fundametalism should be brought back in its place. Mt adivce is dont bother with it, go to republic instead and save the bother
I do not like Feudalism, but well, to give the topic perhaps another direction:
For Civ4, there should be much more twists and specialties of various governments.
Right now we have:
Despotism -> nobody's choice, just the starting gov
Anarchy -> well...
Republic - Democracy -> Governments with war weariness and increased commerce
Monarchy: The Warmonger Government vanilla edition
Communism: Has some specials, but is in line with Monarchy in general
Feudalism, Facism: The latest additions were rather specialized, where Facism has a hard time against Communism (IMO), and Feudalism is - as we already discussed - very special.
There could be many forms of government for Civ4, perhaps some better for various nations, "favored" government in a way that is much more than the current form of "favored" govs in Civ3.
How about special boni for unit construction of certain types, e.g. faster defence unit production, faster attack unit production, special type of unit ( (Civ-)Fanatic ? perhaps) and so on. Or increased trade bonuses that are somewhat more sophisticated than extra commerce on each tile, science boni or mali and well... a lot of ideas that would need a lot of balancing, but I always feel I have too few real choices when I play Civ3 right now.
This could be much more interesting in Civ4.
