  • The Site of 'Lady Liberty'

    Normally when I'm playing an ICS game my sloppy micromanagement becomes non-existant so one builds the Lady, raises the luxury rate, turns off the city report options and revolts ...

    However, when playing kcbob's 'Lightening Succession Game' we only get 7 turns as a maximum so every one counts -- consequently, I carefully set up each city to ensure minimum disruption during the revolution and had to sit and watch 50 cities make absolutely no contribution to the war effort (almost as painful as seeing Ribannah revert to Republic and sue for peace the very next round!)

    My questions
    Should the Lady be built in some backwoods village who's only claim to fame is being far down the build list? Would this strategy minimise the number of cities that 'enjoyed' Anarchy? Does using an oedo year in conjunction with the Lady have any effect?

    SG - the ideal time to revolt with SoL is when you discover Communism or Fundamentalism. If you're a beaker micromanager and pick up that tech with your last city, there is no disruption at all. As far as I know, it doesn't matter where the Statue is actually located; I think all the cities will be processed before a new government is offered. Calling all testing mavens...

      No need to test, DaveV, as usual, you are correct.
