There is a possibly very sneaky thnig to do, if the circumstances are just right. You can induce the gov't to change. As it does, you can usually do some bribing.
1. If you are powerful and ready to wipe out most of the enemy in a couple or three turns, and if you have Fundy and the AI does not, you can gift the AI Fundy. Assuming the AI is facing assault & fighting, it often prefers Fundy, and Fundy cities are bribe/subvertable. But the AI will pile up money quick, so bribe while it is cheap!
2. Put caravans/freight on enemy roads/RRs. The AI does not like his, and will eventually attack... and do a revolution before the attack!! You can often use Explorers, Dips, & Spies, too. But I usually have lots of Freight, and don't mind using one to trigger the fall of an AI.
Both the methods may take a little time. If you want to subvert rightnow, you're out of luck against a Democracy.....
I second Lucky's Welcome to CFC for you!
