This is a heads up for everyone, because I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere and didn't read about it in the instructions (which doesn' t mean it isn't there).
I was playing yesterday as a Democracy in like the 1980's or so. About 10 turns ago I had declared war on China with the clear goal of capturing ONE city that had an alluminum and rubber square (both desperately needed).
I got the city, but China wouldn't end the war, and got England and France to gang up on me. There were only 5 civs left (I had already killed Egyptians and Romans), so I quickly got the last civ, Germany, on my side with big bribe.
Now I am embroiled in a world war: me and Germany versus China, France, and England. I will most likely win, so that isn't an issue.
However, something interesting happened last night. All of my citizens were upset at the war, because I was in Democracy. So all of a sudden, like 10 or 15 turns into war, I get a message saying, "Your citizens have overthrown your Democracy! The Civilization is descending into Anarchy!"
I had no idea that citizens could overthrow your government choice. I haven't played through the Anarchy yet (had to sleep). But it will be interesting to see who gets to chose a new gov't when the period of Anarchy is over. And if I get to chose, will they instantly overthrow another Democracy? Would Communism be the obvious choice? It should be interesting to say the least...
Has anyone else had this happen? What was the result if you did?
