Capitalist Democracy vs Communism

[Mr. President]

I despise communism in real life but it's fun for the Democracy Game. I say keep it.

[Bear]

People seem to be thinking I am saying "Change to Democracy! NOW!"

Well, I'm not.

The nation is in no fit state (what with war etc) to become a capitalist democracy - but if we start to pave the way now (improving city buildings, new roads, irrigation etc) it could be, one day.

Besides, if we improve our infastructure it can only be good, can't it? Whether we're a Democracy or Communist..

[JCP]

In our situation, ther is no other way than Commie.
In the future, after reduction of main threats, if we may balance military units in various cities, why not a democracy age, with luxury tax improvement, so we grow by WLT*D ?
With SoL, we'll return at communism ias soon as a war is inevitable.

Compared with SuperIronclads (vets w/enhanced movement), Destroyers suck.

Once we have them, we will need to extend the number of turns that they remain the dominant force on the board. During this period, they are virtually unsinkable.

Destroyers can move faster... a lot faster

Well, yes. But the Ironclads would move 6 squares, and that's not shabby. The 2 extra squares are the only advantage Destroyers have. The A/D and hitpower are the same.

I know, I have the lovely little poster that they give us for free on my wall. It's actually helpful.... when you're not playing the game and don't have easy acess to the civilopedia

I find the chart way more informative for techs. But they could have given the Destroyer *some* battle improvement over Ironclads. 2 Firepower of 5 attack strength...

i thought the little poster is the chart?... it has the tech tree and all of the terrain, resource, and unit info

[Xenozod]

Communism is the only way we can keep up in the game at the moment. I would like to think that we could become a democracy in the future, increasing money, science, and production, but I will not be a fool and think we can do it right now. You just can't do what we are doing in a democracy.

The Civilopedia on the top text menu bar also has very good information. Some people prefer that.

[Space05us]

it's for when I'm not in the game... ie when Im at the forum and I want to write something about a unit or advance it's easier to look at the poster than to go into the game

We can just go fundi after railroad and destroy our enemy's by say 1900, but then the game would be over

[Space05us]

we can always play another democatic game after this one
