gandhi's favorite civic not pacifism?!

[Snerk]

Why on earth is gandhis favorite civic universial sufferage and not pacifism?
I mean, isnt gandhi the symbole and trademark of the very meaning of pacifism? Anybody else find this odd? hmm.. perhaps its because the pacifism civic is a civic only suitable to use on few ocations, but still...

becuase people see him more as tolerant for all races than over non violence. i also think that you can't have pacifism as a favourite civic for balance issue's.

Well, if Pacifism was his favourite choice, then that would mean he could go into a Police State, which would be worse. I think that is why a lot of the leaders civic preferences are a government civic. It would feel strange having Julius not being in a Representation, or the Americans not being in Unirversal Sufferage, etc.

All of the favorite civics are in the government column.

No.

Saladin has Theocracy
Mansa Musa has Free market
Liz has Free market
Tokugawa has Mercantilism

Ghandi doesn't have Pacifism because a civ running Pacifism is severely hindered militarily. You can only run Pacifism if you truly know what you're doing; just forcing someone to accept it and keep it would be like opening their city gates.

Correction: Liz has Free Religion.

I agree. However, there should be more diversity in where the favorite civics lie. For example, Asoka was a f**ing EMPEROR! Why on Earth does he have Universal Suffrage as favorite civic? No, if anything, he is Organized Religion. Frederick was a KING! Unversally recognized as an "enlightened DESPOT!" Enlightened, yes but still a despot. Try Free Speech.

And Mao Zedong has State Property.
