You mean Fundamentalism? Oh yes, & the SoL was taken out as well; its function now belongs to the Religious trait of certain civs.

Are there any cheats in version 1.29f?

Welcome to CFC, what does that question have to do with governments, why are you reviving an ancient thread, and yes there are cheats, but why would you want them?

Monarchy becuase its good for wars..plus I get free units for a town, city, and metropolis

Have you ever tried Republic? I used to play Monarchy all the time when I was really, really new. Now I nearly always go for Republic. The amount of gold you can generate in Republic will pay for all the unit support that you don't get from not using Monarchy, and will leave extra on top of that. Research will be faster. At some point you can get the AI to pay you gpt and then you will be researching at amazing rates. Just make sure you have roads, and build libraries and marketplaces, and Republic is better than Monarchy. The only exception is when you have absolutely no luxuries and no hope of getting them, a very rare situation.

Now for something Completely Different.

What effect does the preferred and shunned government have on you? I've looked high and low, hunted around, and have zip! It has to have some effect otherwise it wouldn't even be in there, but what is it?

Very little. It only affects the AI's attitude toward you. If you're in their preferred gov, they like you a little more. They like you a little less if you're in their shunned gov.

I think communism is seriously flawed in this game. I mean, you should get 100% approval rating instantly when you switch to communism.

I like commuism when i have a large spread empire wheather i'm at war or not. Most other times i'm in demo unless locked in a long lasting war.
