Fundy

As those who remember the last Democracy game, we have experienced every form of government, except for Fundamentalism.

Therefore I propose a plan to drive towards Fundamentalism so that we can broaden our experience as democracy gamers.

An alternative preposition is to remain in a Monarchy, crank up our taxes and luxuries while churning out Crusaders to conquer the entire world.

Of course, there will be some who clamour for Democracy when we finally research the tech, regardless of the army required to conquer the world?

So which should we strive for, as an advanced form of Government?

Vote today and have your say!

Communism is the form of government we want for this game. I want Spies to steal techs, Engineers to make improvements, and Communism to support military units on the move. Communism will make our Spies Vets, will eliminate corruption, martial law units will be doubled in effectiveness, and Settlers/Engineers use less food per turn.

same choice here: cummunism all the way, with our cities so far from oneanother, unhappyness opposing every decision you want to make and a killer science-rate I think this is our best option...the only drawback is the time it will take to get it...

We should go towards fundi.

In fundi we'll have no support for our army's and no need for martial law since everyone is always content.

It also provides us with huge amounts of

to rushbuy more

so we can

the pests who live on our planet

Who needs vet spies when you have a constant stream of units making its way to the battlefield?

I agree with Atawa on this one, for similar reasons.

Though it will hurt our already deplorable science rate

I think Fundamentism is the obvious choice for a Empire that has Imperialistic intentions.

/me , Science Minister

On a slightly off topic note, who choose the name "Apolytonian Imperium"? It makes me

laugh and wonder...do the other civs dream of destroying the "Evil A.I."?

atawa, he speaks the truth.

War ministers like fundy

Fundi should be our goal, but Democracy is the way to get it.

1. Set tech path to Democracy.
2. Start camel breeding program.
3. Get Democracy, celebrate a bit for a jolt of city growth.
4. Build WoW and go to "soft Fundi."

2 small technical problems... we won't build caravans and wonders...those are 2 of our sadomasochistic rules

Then straight to Fundy, I guess...

Actually, if we continue to Xin, our science rate will increase with a Fundamentalist government, since corruption and unhappiness cease to exist.

With no camels we have had to keep our people's luxuries to what they can scavenge for themselves, so our number one biggest problem with attempting to grow cities to where they can prodcue enough is unhappiness. If we go fundy - no unhappiness means we don't need to keep city sizes down and we can throw off a settler or two after some further growth to give us all those magnificent improvements like roads and irrigation. Now they won't do a hell of a lot for our science in Fundy, of course, but when we change to a better government later, and we have had both the cash of Fundy to rush Temples and things (giving us even MORE money) and the pop growth, switching to a better government would give us an enormous boost, as long as the happiness factor was planned well enough for.

Fundy is great for large armies such as we shall have
