Questions on goverments??
- Thread starter Diode
- Start date
Briefly (and I've probably missed a few bits)
Despotism - high corruption/waste - free support for some military units (can't remember exactly how many)
Monarchy - less corruption - less free units - no war weariness
Republic - less corruption - will get war weariness - no(?) free support for military units
Democracy - less corruption - war wearniess a problem - no free military units - workers work 50% faster (with nationalism tech) -
Communism - medium corruption - no war weariness - better chance of propoganda / spy missions
The general consensus seems to be
Peacful - go for republic then democracy
War - monarchy prob best maybe communism
Whatever get out of despotism as soon as you can.

I find that going to war as a republic (or democracy if I have a lot of luxury resources) is pretty fine. Just ensure that you fight your wars quickly, pile on the luxuries and cut your war weariness whenever possible. 
Remember to have objectives when you go to war (not just 'cause the AI is irritating), achieve them quickly and make peace.

Personally, I always play republic, even at war. With enough luxuries and cathedrals, plus the proper wonders, this will do. But perhaps I've to play on a higher level

Don't forget the pop rushing abilities of despotism and communism. It can make even despotism a viable government for an entire game!
