Additionally in fascism barracks give one happiness to the city they are built in. These people love their military and their parades. Also in every city with fascism the "National Work Service" can been built, giving additional 50 % production bonus to that city. The science rate cap in fascism government is the highest for any government that doesn´t suffer from warweariness.
On the other side, fascism is xenophobic, meaning you can only have a cultural growth and a working radius of two fields around your city, if the inhabitants inside the city belonging to your civ are hitting the 50% border. Also "cultural bombing" as you name the use of monks and great artists, is not possible before reaching that 50% limit.

that sounds indeed interesting.
We do not have to decide right away, but what does the team think of such a government. Unit support surely is much higher. The only negative issue I see is the culture. No more culture bombs,

...but this is a massive one. Conquered cities in CCM loose all their culture and their citizens can only be used to work in the small circle of 1 tile around the center until the city reaches the first cultural growth barrier of ten culture points in the city. The hook is, that the city only starts to amass cultural points if the 50 % population barrier of citizens belonging to that civ is surpassed in that city. Civs with this government should have a strong core-land (over 50 % population of that civ in each city) and a big ring around it with weaker cities that cannot grow in production by working on additional tiles.
Got it. We can make settlers with AT and that should ease our support issues as we can squeeze in towns. The culture bomb is useful, but how many artist are we getting anyway? Once we clear our continent and set downon a new landmass we could look around to dump some MP's.
Gaining additional lux and not having to sweat marauders will mean MP are not so important. Add in that cities will get large enough to have specialist. So we will have options to go in any direction or even stay as we are I would guess.
BTW for the subscribers we are paying 686gpt for support. The most useful item could be allowing tech above 70%. Right now that would do us no good as we could not afford it.

What's our treasury balance? Last I remember, it was high enough that we could easily afford deficit research for a while.
Yes we have money, I was just saying it as a point of interest for others that may raise an eyebrow of that number. It is not every day you are running now -744gpt for support.
We are only running -220gpt as we make enough to pay for most of the support. That is not an unusual number. BTW still on the first turn since the morning, about to finally end it. A mere 7 hours now.
True that includes all time like grabbing food or going to the bathroom and random interruptions. The first turn is alway a killer when you are a weeks between turns.

Not gaining culture means also no slow expansion of borders. That could actually hurt if we go for fascism.
We got so many cities with research buildings, I think we should be able to go for 4 turn research all the way.
By the way, we can get into positive gpt if we reduce tax to 10%. There are only a few cities that would need some happy buildings for that. I would do that.

I have no problem with unit support as we got enough cash generating means to counter that. We might want to delete units in cities where MP's are not really needed any longer.
However, don't forget that quite a few buildings are going to produce unhappiness. As long as we do not run out of cash (and I seriously do not see that coming at all), we can just keep them around.
As for fascism, I think that culture issue is so big, I personally rather stick with monarchy. 70% science is plenty enough as we need to run 10-20% lux anyway and need some cash too.
By the way, we should start to explore an ideal landing spot overseas to take on China. I would choose ideally a hill next to a mountain, so that our units can land there and then first ride out the waves of attackers that we certainly face. We will need plenty of defenders for that and since we have Battlefield Medicine by then (do we have it now?), we should be able to heal our units as long as we have enough of them.

I don't see the culture issue being that significant. Ok, so immediate culture bombs in captured cities are out in the limited # of times we have them. So, we can raze the city and replace with a settler of ours and we're good to bomb away, yes? Then add to that the fact that to every city we have can be 25% more productive plus 200 workers now do the job of 300, and in my mind at least fascism is still a good choice.
And indeed Merry Christmas to all!

I have not given the gov much thought, but culture bombs we are getting few. If you mean artist. If you mean grow our own, then it is, but can be handle with combat settlers or starving.
I doubt it is critical which way we go, so pick one you want to investigate. Here comes an interum report as I am stopping for the night and willbe tied up first half of the day tomorrow.
Xmas junk as been decreed by she who must be obeyed. I order xas dinner and we have to go pick up the turkey and what every else. Painful trip to the mall and a movie. Then I get my pass to game time.

PRE:
I see a clipper out to sea? To me these are our galleon/transports and we do not want them at risk or scouting. Do we have an embarking point we want to send them to yet? Looks like about 70 workers are in the hopper and 200 on the scene. I know we could use 1000 to get all the tiles improved, but that is not going to happen.
The question right now is how many can we have? I find that 250 is about my tolerance level. I have dealt with about 400, but it is so very tedious that you start hating them. At 686 for support the 70 will get us above 750gpt and that is not counting the troops that we make.
So for sure I will not produce any after this round and I may stop about a score that are started, if they either have no shields or something else could be built. If the next guy wants to tackle additional workers, they can be made in a hurry, so help yourself.
I see Poland has dropped a town on us, so it will be nice to get rails to all 4 corners and then the circumference. I am going to try to group some of the boats on our coast as a solo boat is at greater risk.
Maybe I a crazy or lazy or both, but I do not see any reason to be working on towns like Ravenna. It is size 2 no growth and not going to get any, probably ever. It would need roads, water and lots of labor and we cannot spare it. If we could why do it anyway? I put it on starvation and lets get it to size 1 no growth and a scientist and let it alone. Who wants to spend time going over these types of towns?
Prey Nokor is the same. Kompong Svay is not much better.
Bangkok is a more incedious place to me as it is not growing at size 6 and has had a lot of money sunk into it I would guess. It has a Royal Barracks, Town Clock, Roman Symbol, Windmill, Kontor, 4 communities, Castle, Bank, Court, Market and Granary. Some of these probably were inherited and some are from a wonder, but for sure I would not build structures here. It makes 6 beakers.
Why not let it sit as it is and forget it? We will not need nor can we afford to have it make troops. I sold the castle as it is of no value here anyway. In addition to the beakers, it is making 8 gpt now.
Koh Ker similar, but is coastal so it can feed any that work water tiles. I flip the tree hugger to science and the next growth can do it again and forget the place after that, unless you want boats built there. Well that is not even a good use as it has only 2 shields.
Aden I would have the worker stay here and cut some trees and improve some tiles.
Najran I am not sure what is optimal here. If it were just me, I would put this one to sleep as well. It can be improved, but when will we get around to it? What will it pay back for the time and effort? Would it be more than what we get from just flipping one citizen to a specialist and forgetting the place? For now I put it to sleep, someone with more ambition can get it going later when we have workers to send there. It will then need structures, which means cash or an eternity. We only have a max of about 200 more turns.
Fustat is another size 2 not growing, but could. Flip it to starve. This is a good place to come back after AT and abandon it and put up two or three towns in its place and let them sleep.
Not going not go through too many more and won't bother listing them. I am just trying to find a dozen places to turn off workers builds to keep the count down some. Any small town not growing or has few improved tiles is a canidate to to put to sleep and reduce our work.
The better ones, those with mainly trees can be resurrected when we have workers to send to them. In the mean time they can pay for the support.
Since we are on 4 turn research I am making them taxmen. I wanted to see what the impact was so far and I could be not be sure. I think we were at -220gpt and now
-142gpt. I checked CAII and it shows +452 and now +491? I guess it is having issues with CCM.
Army at Groningen has a large number of units with only half their moves, so I will wait for the IBT to do anything. Looks like from Whalespooting back the only spot that could have a town outside our borders is where Poland located. I reallly hate that and wil try to get a road to them to smack them.

I think 4 cavs types were killed. It took so long to deal with all the build popups that I forget what and where things occurred. I know a boat attacked our privateer and we won and got a slave boat. I know Amsterdam was attacked twice and we split. I know a cav retreated and was later killed. I know a cav won and went elite and was later killed.

Maybe some feedback on where I should route the clippers to and how many to build, if any this set. I know there was talk about China, but it is moot as we have no fleet.

You're wrong here, in CCM all roads are laid at the same speed, so RR hills and mountains indeed does make sense.
As for a fleet staging point, that's not easy to say. I guess we should develop a fleet where we are closest to the other continent.
Really, I could have sworn that the stack on a mountain when moved to flat land finished the rail and had several workers left to move to the next tile. I see, if i can check on that today.
Edit: yup you are correct.

BTW the screens were intended to let everyone see the progress on the rail system. There are a few place not shown where a small band of workers were too far away to join.
I should be done in a couple hours on back and on turn 8. Turns are not too bad now that I have a grasp on the workers.
