Governments in Emperor-mode.

[dominox]

This might just be another unbalanced feature..
I've discovered that there is close to NO use (or less) switching from monarcy in emperor-games.
Even in an highly advanced civ with large cities, changing from Monarcy to Democracy/Republic gives you :
1: More expensive science
2: More corruption (seen this a few times. dont know why)
3: Higher maintainance
4: Unhappier cities.

You DO get more income, but at the end you always seem to still end up with loosing money while you had a +50 surpluss in Monarcy.

So.. effects of switching :
1: More unhappiness (as units doesnt any longer give u happyfaces)
2: Less money.. (100-150 diffrence.)


My question would be:
Is this normal? It cant be supposed to be like this, right?

As of right now, I see NO reason to switch government =(

I cant belive noone has any further comments on this

That is why they call it Emporer Level! It wouldnt do to have a republic! (I think no one else replied cause Monarch is tough enough!)

well, I have finished emperor-level several times now, and I KNOW there are more ppl here that has finished both emperor and deity-games.
If the game was made so that Democracy/republic was harder than monarcy.. well, that doesnt make sense.. That's not making the game harder, it's making the game worse =P
