    My 2 cents worth... Celebrations should be very do-able in whatever government we're in. In Despotism, we can hopefully grab HG and celebrate most of our cities, which would then behave as if they were in a Monarchy.

    In Republic... hopefully we would be able to grow our core cities to a large enough size so as to offset the corruption effects. Remember, we'll probably be able to run 60% luxuries or more.

    @obiwan - no problem - see the ?

    @SG[1] - play list updated, you're in. The plan sounds good in concept... I just wonder how long it'll take us to get to Demo/SoL, if we confine the AI's to zoo cities. Sure, we can pop huts... but getting all science from trade will be tough in Despo. We need the AIs to do at least some of the research work.

      STYOM,

      This looks like another excellent test you've dreamed up. I would like to be included. May need some advice on handling despo for so long though. The earlier I am, the less likely I would screw up the beginning.

        My work/sleep cycle has been messed with again (thanks, boss). I think I'll kibitz from the sidelines.
        @ RARs: "Oooo, icky corruption! Please, please, PLEASE don't stick us with Republic! (Psst, any of you guys remember how to build a Courthouse?)"

        Many a game I've played with the restriction that I had couldn't advance beyond Republic just to be a challenge vs multiple Fundie AIs. The corruption just means that you must build Courthouses. For more distant outposts CH may be the second improvement built (or the first, if you've got HG or Mike or Bach).

        Your Super Science Trade City will be near (or in) the Capital so your Spam caravans won't suffer too much. You'll have a core of well developed cities with low corruption (the homeland, as it were). You'll have plenty of AI cities to trade with, too.

          Corruption in Despotism is far worse. Judging by the progress of the Seriously Tricky Game we will have 4 millennia of dire wastage ... and more when people forget the oedo years.

          With Republic we can at least enjoy a stable form of government much sooner. With science @ 0% reaching Democracy for SoL is a long, long haul.

            Republic
            Republic
            Republic

            Those are my three votes

            How's the game going Hydey? Did you stick us in Monarchy?

              Please add rabbit to the menu...

              At 15 turns ea., looks like the govt change will happen long before I'm in the loop.
              But FWIW, I'd like to see early Republic -- just cuz I'm bad at it and would like to see how the Institute handles it.

              Oh, and BTW -- glad to see an AC sxn game. :b

                    You're in... and you'll probably have less mess to clean up than SG[1] will

                    Hopefully Hydey isn't having too much trouble setting science to 0 and moving those 2 settlers

                      It's comforting to know that, with Bloody Monk before me and La Fayette after, there's virtually nothing I can do to really screw this up.

                          I know that you are in contact with those guys named Ming and Rah.
                          Hence I am fairly sure that you have strong defence against a few arrows from my feeble archers .

                            I started the last Despo-Democracy sxn game.

                            Shall I start this as well or wait for Hydey?

                              Go for it, obiwan...

                              I'll adjust the play list. If Hydey plays Thursday, Git(2) can play Friday...

                              .. and we might have 2 Gits on the case. Are 2 intoxicated Gits better than one sober Git?

                              I like the idea of wandering & picking up huts before founding... but then if I wanted to do that I should have played first
