While playing Civilization 3 recently, I was brainstorming some new ideas for governments. Tell me what you think, and I(or someone else, I don't care) may make a mod pack for them. Keep in mind I haven't seen all of the government types, so I really don't know all of what is out there.
Militarisitic Democracy(The name really isn't that good)
This government is the same thing as democracy except for 3 things.
1. There would be no war weariness
2. The support per unit would be 5 gold per turn(cost could be reduced, but main reason for it being so high, is to basically restrict science for a large military).
3. Metropolises would be able to support 1 free unit each
This government allows you to reap the benefits of democracy, but you can still go to war and conquer, however, you better have alot of money if you are going to support a large scale war, because metropolis's can only support 1 unit(presumably for their defense). Consider it paying off the people to stay content as you go to war
. Also, if you decide to go to war, you will have to almost completely sacrfice your science and luxuries. If you go completely tax, you could possibly support a war, but you will be able to do much in the technological field and it will be hard to support a metropolis because you can not many luxeries to create happy people to offset the unhappy ones.
Free Government(definately would need a new name)
As the name suggests, everytihng would be free. There would be no matienence, and all units would be free. However, on the flip side, corruption is rampant, war weariness is high, you cannot hurry production. Worker rate is increased to 3 and military police limit is 2.
This one basically gets rid of matienence altogether, letting you rake in money, however, you can not spread out far or commit to a war, because corruption and unhappiness will run rampant over your country if you do. Basically a government for extremely peaceful defensive nations.
Utopian(this one is a little more radical)
Basically, this gives you the best in every field. However, to be able to get this government, you would have to discover a set of 8 or 9 successive technologies(in the modern age) off from the core technology tree(would require ability to create new technologies in the editor though).
This one is more of a idea I just put together. You probably won't be able to get this government before the year 2050 hits without sacrificing other technologies, so essentially, this is just for those people who want to try to destroy the world and don't really care how long it takes. However, imagine having 5 or 6 civilizations in this government years after the limit, duking it out without limitations. This basically somewhats appeases those war mongers
.
Now I don't know what these governments would do to the balance of the game, if anything, but jsut a couple of ideas I came up with. Give me your opinions on them.
