Worker Efficiency

[Mirc]

If governements don't exist in Civ4, what is the worker efficiency in this game? Each civic has its own worker efficiency? And all the other things related in Civ3 with govs ? Are they influenced by civics? Corruption is lower in some civics in Civ4, or it doesn't exist any more? For example, Hereditary resembles the governement of Monarchy? I heard in Serfdom, mines are much easier to build. But roads, forests, irrigations?

When Firaxis first announced Civ 4, they mentioned that corruption as it was in Civ 3 would be eliminated, and reworked into some other way of doing things. I'm not sure of any details however. Same goes for pollution.

Pollution is to be replaced by "health", somewhat unrealistic, but more fun. Corruption is being replaced by maintenance costs. How this works out we'll just have to see...

I would place my bet on different civic options providing multipliers to worker efficiency. It's also possible (so I've read) to rush production if you have slavery, or to pay for production rush with other civic options.

Worker efficiency will probably still be increased upon discovering steam-power or crop-rotation etc. for individual improvements.

I dig that idea...
