This space reserved for further updates.

Please tell me of any problems you encounter if you do encounter any. Also, all feedback is welcome, though all the current governments are staying in the mod, I may still tweak them and I might add some more.

Ah, at last a government mod without countless, almost-similar govts!

**Dimorier Maximus** · August 1, 2002, 16:56

I don't know whether you are being facetious or serious?

But if you like the bland 6 governments offered in Civ1 and no more, this mod isn't for you. No bones about it. If you like a variety of governments, then you'll like this mod. Also, it is still in the testing phase and I would have more drastic changes in governments except that the darn editor doesn't allow for much.

I am serious - what I mean is that I am tired of all these mods with like 20 governments.

Oh, thanks then.

I really don't think I will add any more governments to this mod either, because there is just no way to really make them much different anymore. Like I said, the editor doesn't allow for much.

Anyways, I would really appreciate it if people would try this out and tell me if they find any problems with it or if they think anything needs tweaking.

Thanks in advance.

Looks good, though the ruler titles are still missing, and I have no clue what they should be called...

EDIT: I just saw your mod file, there you had the title rules, just thought you had forgotten about it, since you didn't mention it above...

Finaly more govts but as I see the statistics isn't fascism a bit too powerfull: much unit support and low corruption and the tile penalty isnt that bad anymore in the industrial and modern age.

I agree that corruption should be higher for Fascism - problematic or even rampant. Regarding the tile penalty: I think it's pretty bad (and therefore good for gameplay), because you will lose 1 food or 1 shield on nearly every worked tile once railroads arrive.

Fascism should have a low science rate cap, too. It is a really anti-intellectual ideology.

I don't think I forgot anything, but if you find anything that I missed, let me know ASAP so that I can fix it. If you check the civilizations screen, you will see that I made the Americans favored gov. Corporate Republic, the Germans favor Fascism, and some religious civs favor Theocracy. I didn't put all that in the readme...or even here.

I believe that Republic is now required to reach the second era as well.

All I put in the readme was the changes to the governments, and not even all of them. I didn't put in rates compared to other governments because I found that tedious; however, I did put the rates in the game...they aren't all zero. I just didn't type them up.

With regards to Fascism, I am thinking I will tweak it to be a little weaker. Maybe take away some military support: 3/6/9 : town/city/metropolis. Give Communism 4/8/12. Because Communism is really just crap as far as the game designers were concerned. It really sucks. I want all these governments to be viable depending on your strategy. I want to keep Fascism strong in science mainly because of the way the German tanks ran through the Maginot Line. I don't think of a technologically backward country when I think of a Fascist nation. I think of a smart, powerful country that scares the crap out of the other countries. It is likely that Nazi Germany would have succeeded in conquering Europe if the whole world wasn't against them.

Btw, I want to thank each of you for taking the time to play this mod and tell me what needs fixing. Also, can I ask someone that likes to play Republic -> Democracy to try out Corporate Republic and tell me their opinion on it? I am gunning for a certain effect with this government. I don't mind if it makes Rebublic obsolete, but I hope it doesn't make Democracy obsolete, just another way to do things.

A quick comment on Corporate Republic: Even with unit support costs of 3, I'm afraid that the 'doesn't require maintenance' flag is far too powerful. I'll have to test this, though.

**Dimorier Maximus** · August 5, 2002, 16:53

Yes, please test it and tell me what you think.
