Fundamentalism???

[Steve]

I can't believe how many of you guys go for Fundamentalism. It's just not my style I guess, but I'm just curious why you do, don't think I've ever used it, really. Usually I shoot for Dem., use it to build up my tech. and then go to a blend of sci. and productivity with Communism. Personally, I find it the most appealing, with the exception of maybe Fascism, but that's a whole other story. Basically, I'm just curious about why you guys buy into Fundamentalism so much.....

I always go for communisum!

So do I. I think its the best because it is a good compromise between a massive milatary and research

Hey, how come I'm not in the cool book?
How come you're not in your own cool book?

Although I'd never want to live in a fundamentalist country, it's great in Civ because you get units with no support, tithes, and no unhappiness!

Fundamentalism is great for conquest... you get boatloads of cash and don't waste any effort on keeping citizens happy.

It's nice if you've fallen a bit behind or if the enemy has dozens of cities. But it almost feels like cheating.

Well i find fundamentalism great for getting cahs and keeping research. I can get my fundamentalism g'ment to where i'm getting atleast 500gold per turn while research 2-5 per tunr ALOT OF SCIENTIST IN MY TOWNS

 

[Martin Schmidt]

Fundamentalism is unbalanced , you can build
a big armie without any support and get
very much money per turn and dont have to care about unhappiness and ...

But i prefer to choose democratie like you
because with not to many troops i can play
a hole game on one weekend .

Fundamentalism is the best. You have no worries about your cities whatsoever. You can completely erase luxury and no one will mind. I did this and could continue to buy units and barely losing money.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

I don't play fundamentalism because its unrealistic, so it almost feels like cheating.

 

[ShakaZulu]

I admit that it is unrealistic, but, in a time of need, you can switch to fundamentalism for a while and then switch back when you're back into power.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but this is the way I view the 3 modern govs.

COMMUNISM: Defensive stronghold, good science while at the same time conducting small scale campaigns.

DEMOCRACY: Peaceful, when you need to get up in science and money.

FUNDAMENTALISM: Full fledged, global warfare.

Fundamentalism isn't all that unrealistic. Fanatical religious societies are often like that.

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

Yeah but since when was the last fanatical empire which conquered all of europe?

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Well,in real life they're too busy praying and sacraficing their children and grandmothers to conquer anyone.

Grandmothers, the number one sacrifice. THe old flesh burns faster.

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Yup, it's all that hand lotion if you ask me. Younger brothers are good too. Say, I wonder if I could get away with that on the premise that it's for religious purposes? Hmmm.
