Policies

[Thalassicus]

Later policies used to be more powerful than early ones when Civ 5 released, but that's not the case anymore. Many early policies now scale well to late game.

An idea for the Nationalism tree: modify one existing policy to allow changing the city focus of puppet cities (default, food, production, etc). This policy shouldn't allow changing worked tiles or specialists slots. I think this change would reflect the nature of Nationalism goverments: tight control over goverment employees (city governors in this case). Also, IMO, this would add uniqueness to the Nationalism tree making it more interesting.

There's already a nationalism policy that *significantly* buffs courthouses, making annexing under nationalism pretty much a no-brainer.

The point of puppets is that you don't have that direct control over them.

For sovereignty in enlightenment, it's +2g per science building. Any reservations to sprinkling some culture into this branch by adding, say +1c per science building as well (and maybe reducing to +1g)? I understand that's Piety's job, but maybe each branch should have a policy that gives culture for focusing on the qualities in that branch. Haven't put much thought into this though.
