Fascist Patch

hannibcannib · March 14, 2002, 14:35

I recently downloaded this great patch that adds the Fascist style of government to Civilization 3. This government is a great government!
It makes money like a democracy but has war making abilities like communism.
I strongly urge anyone who likes war and money in their game to try this patch out.
After you have give me some feedback.

Sounds kinda like an "uber government" with no weaknesses. Could be fun to mess around with, but it kinda removes the need for any other government once you can switch to fascism, doesn't it?

hannibcannib · March 14, 2002, 14:47

No its not exactly like either of them trust me you should try it

This should be my dream come true... but it sounds too easy.

What are the weaknesses, if any? If there are none then it eliminates some of the challenges of playing Civ.

Capt Dizle · March 15, 2002, 00:04

I would settle for a government that eliminates the endless wait between turns.

Giovanni August · March 15, 2002, 02:04

I think that type of gov't is too much powerfull!

I also created my own fascist gov't in my games, I set it like this!

Corruption: Problematic

Support Cost: 1

Town – 2
City – 4

Rate Cap: 10
Worker Rate: 2
Assimilation: 0%
Draft Limit: 2
Military Police: 4

Standard Trade Bonus

Ruler Title: Dictator

Diplomats are: Regular
Spies are: Regular
Immune to: Steal Technology

Propaganda modifier (don't remember now... must check but I'm not at my computer now)
******************************
That way the fascist goverment is really strong in the center of the Empire or for very little nations, but once the state grows too much you must switch to Democracy/Communism!
That way you can simulate a very strong nationalistic sentiment that of course expire where your boundaries are too far away mixed with other cultures or in city with not your native people!

It also give the chance to small civs to build big armies, have tons of gold and that way have a chance

I didn't change any civs to favor/shun it yet.... I'm still testing it!

Why must everyone insist that fascism be directly linked to Nazi Germany? Napoleon was a fascist, so was Stalin in his own way. How about "Commandant" or even "Dictator" rather than the above. I wouldn't switch to fascism based on this alone.

Plus, it's spelled "Fuhrer."

Actually hannibcannib is technically correct in his spelling of Fuehrer. The reason is that the North American keyboard does not have a u-umlaut (that's the u with two dots overhead) and so the equivalent is a u followed by an e. In german Fuehrer is spelled without the e following the u but the u has the two dots over it.

If anyone knows what the key combo is for the ASCII version of the u with the two dots over it than there you go.

Wouldn't it be better to call it a Totalitarian government. Does have the stigma of fascism.

Faded: thank you for reporting this. Admins will take the action.

Kilroy, that's unethical, and it's a slight violation of our rules.

Herr David · March 16, 2002, 10:51

Fascism isn't the same as totalitarianism. Stalin was a totalitarianist (what a word...). Totalitarianism means that the state sets out to control each and every part of the lives of its citizens. Oceania, in Orwell's "1984" is the perfect totalitarian state. It's free of ideology, so to say, and merely a style of government.

Fascism is an ideology that stresses national unity, racial purity, the inferiority of other nations and intensive state propaganda in all media. The most unique traits of a Fascist government are that it is centered around a single strongman (Der Führer, Il Duce, Caudillo etc) and builds a militaristic cult, basically glorifying everything that has to do with war.

I sort of made a Fascist Civ government with

- the standard terrain bonus like in Communism
- cash rushing
- a huge number of free supported units
- very low culture-flip-modifiers.
- Diplomats and spies are reduced to conscript level
- 5 military police
- high worker efficiency
- no war weariness (duh)
- corruption as under Republic
- required advance: Communism (Yeah this sounds dumb, but communism and fascism are both modern phenomena and have more in common than advocates of both ideologies think.)
- 3 drafts per turn (fanatical resistance)

Unfortunately I never got to playtest it... :-(

He posted a link to an "unexceptable" site. I don't want to go into the details... because it was DISGUSTING.

Needless to say, he won't be doing that again for a few weeks

I click on it thinking theres some kind joke to it. It reveals itself in my IE.

While Im drinking some beer...Almost came up out of nose. I couldnt help to feel queasy.

Here pops a guy, with a big, no HUGE wide open ******* on IE..

There I freakin settled it. Stop bugging and asking what it was.

Now stop threadjacking this guys thread.

notyoueither · March 17, 2002, 02:51

I do not need to see it. I stumbled across it posted by some loser in a newsgroup about 2 years ago.

I was better after my short term memory lost the image. I still get the willies from time to time when I *flash back* from long term memory, but it's been better lately.

Seriously folks, you do NOT want to see that pix.

Now, of course, you are all the more dying to see it. Go to rotten.com if you really need a fix.

Skanky Burns · March 17, 2002, 03:12

Some things I just *don't* want to see.

Back to the original topic:
Arrian was right, a government NEEDs to have a downside, something that could prevent you from using it, otherwise its just a given that you will use that government. As posted by Herr David, the only downside to it is "Diplomats and spies are reduced to conscript level"... Like anyone uses that anyway!!

Solver · March 17, 2002, 08:36

No, do not go to rotten.com , unless you're sick. IRL, I ban everyone who visits rotten.com immediately.

Provost Harrison · March 17, 2002, 09:14

Ooooh, the nannies have arrived

KrazyHorse · March 17, 2002, 12:06

Whatever. Reading over the stats posted (the first ones), fascism does indeed appear to be an uber-government for prolonged warfare. It's a cheap out, it seems.
