Skipper's Civics
Government Civic:
I think that our overall aim should be too pursue Universal Suffrage for the obvious benefit, that if we grow wealthy enough, we shall be able to use money to hurry production. However, I think the merits if a Police State need serious consideration as it would be of great use to use if we plan any wars of expansion, which I believe we should.
Legal Civic:
I think we should make our first goal to reserach Civil Service thus enabling us to opt fr the Civic Bureaucracy. This +50% gold and production in our capital city could be of great benefit to us when we are trying to build up our gold reserves and the production could be used to help our military grow to the size our large empire will require. From here we can research Nationalism which will allow us to adopt Nationhood. The drafting ability this will give us will allow us to free up units at home for a prolonged war or for a war in which we will make much territorial gain.
Labour Civic:
Slavery must certainly be what we go all out to achieve. The ability to sacrifice population for production will only serve to help us widen the gap in our favour between ourselves and rival nations. This must be a civic we attempt to achieve. From here we could move to Serfdom and perhaps, Emancipation.
Economic Civic:
We must go all out to establish State Property. This is the only civic that will allow us to grow and maintain an Empire.
Religious Civic:
If the people are determined that we should found a religion then our aim must be to adopt Organised Religion which will allow us to build 25% faster in cities with State religion. However, our overall goal must be to pursue Free Religion.
