What preparation is needed before switching to Dem. Gov't???

[Bloody Monk]

Looks like a pretty good start to me. Beginnings are always exciting to me; so much to be revealed. And I like to wander a bit, pop some huts, and see what's what before founding the first city, so, I probably would have done about the same...which means, of course, that I like what you did...

I'll follow along with your game. Roster looks full already. Good luck
