Rate the Tenets - part II: Autocracy Tenets

So, 24 people have voted by now, which gives a fair overview of how things are. A significant spread on several policies that clearly come as "love or hate" (Gunboat Diplomacy being a prime example). Scores are, order in groups from best score to worst score:

Level 1 tenets
3.8 - Industrial Espionage: Spies steal technologies twice as fast.
3.6 - Mobilization: Gold cost of purchasing units reduced by 33%.
2.8 - Fortified Borders: +1 Local Happiness per Castle, Arsenal and Military Base.
2.5 - Universal Healthcare: +1 Local Happiness from each National Wonder.
2.2 - Futurism: +250 Tourism to all Civilizations when a Great Writer, Artist or Musician is born.
1.9 - Elite Forces: Wounded Military Units inflict 25% more damage than normal.
1.8 - United Front: Militaristic City-States gift units twice as often when at war with a common foe.

Level 2 tenets
4.3 - Total War: +25% Production towards Military Units. New Units receive +15 XP.
4.3 - Militarism: +2 Local Happiness per Barracks, Armory and Military Academy.
4.0 - Nationalism: Unit Maintenance cost reduced by 33%.
3.5 - Lightning Warfare: Great Generals receive +3 Movement. Armored units receive +1 Movement and +15% attack bonus, and ignore enemy ZOC.
3.5 - Police State: +3 Local Happiness from each Courthouse. Build Courthouses in half the usual time.
3.2 - Third Alternative: Strategic Resources provide double quantity. +5 Food and Science in Capital.

Level 3 tenets
3.9 - Clausewitz's Legacy: Receive a +25% attack bonus to all Military Units for the first 50 turns after this tenet is added.
3.4 - Gunboat Diplomacy: Gain 6 more Influence per turn with City-States you could demand tribute from. Military units are 50% more effective at intimidating City-States.
2.4 - Cult of Personality: +50% Tourism to Civilizations fighting a common enemy.


A couple of interesting patterns that are very distinct are that people generally dislike the level 1 tenets (Industriail Espionage and Mobilization being the only moderate exceptions) while they *love* the level 2 tenets - a very respectable 3.2 in average score for the lowest scoring level 2 tenet is quite impressive. Level 3 tenets are (again) somewhat average - while it's hard to go wrong with Clasewitz' Legacy, there are few people who really love this tenet; Gunboat Diplomacy does get a lot of love, but also a lot of hate, so very divided votes on that one; and finally Cult Of Personality which few people seem to rely on.


Last round: Order!
