Forced resettlement.. what is the concept behind it?

[timerover51]

On a side note, I don't think forced resettlement should be equivalent to a holocaust (but surely this was the creators idea). It wouldn't be totally unreasonable to give forced resettlement to the anarchy periods instead of the governments (maybe totalitarian governments could still retain it). Genocides, martial law, statarium have been fairly common in civil wars anyways. The effect of forced resettlement is so small anyways it would just add more realism and take away nothing.

I would agree that forced resettlement should not be viewed as equivalent to the Holocaust, but I am not sure about restricting it to Anarchy periods, although I can understand your reasoning there, nor Totalitarian governments. Russia under the Czars did speed up the settlement of Siberia by the forced transportation, by foot, of large numbers of convicts, political and otherwise, who were primarily Russian in descent. However, Great Britain for a while was resettling convicts in what is now the State of Georgia in the United States, and did settle both Australia and New Zealand with forced resettlement of convicts. Likewise, the United States in the 1830s carried out the forced resettlement of the Five Civlized Tribes (the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole) from the present Southeastern states to Oklahoma, one of the less glorious periods of US history. The massive population movements following the division of British India into India and Pakistan was accompanied by widespread violence and death, and occured under governments that were democracies. There is also the Turkish forced resettlement of the Armenians prior to and during World War One. The idea is not restricted to only Fascist Governments.

Seven-year bump? Really?

This was one of my first posts, I was new to the website. I didn't know it would bump, and I didn't know when comments were posted.

Aside from historical and philosophical discussions, can someone give me a quick answer as to what "forced resettlement" actually does in the game? Does it take population from established cities and move them to newer ones? What does this do exactly? Thanks.

Sorry you had to ask, but in game terms it is "working your population to death" to rush a unit or building to be complete. In your city screen when you click on "hurry" it might say you can't because you will lose too many. A preference is that the grind of so much "extra" work causes your pop. to leave (the game I guess). Forced Resettlement is another rationale for the game mechanic.

When looking in the Civ3ConquestsEdit, you receive the following answer about "Forced Resettlement": When switching to the selected government, each town in the nation loses 1 population, each city loses 2 population, and each metropolis loses 3 population.
In the current version of CCM this flag is mostly used doubled for Anarchy and most of the new governments to trigger "bloody revolutions". In the next version of CCM this feature will be reduced. Moosezilla, you have mixed up "Forced Resettlement" with "Forced Labor".
