Republic

[Ming]

Good point Xin... however, I'm like Rah. Once I've switched to republic, I seldom go back to monarchy. Only a major war will tempt me to go back.

Yes, good point, but once the cities have celebrated out (how big depends on wonders and infrastructure) only a few cities will still celebrate after switching back. (granted those should be the only ones you care about)
But the advantage of staying in Republic is that those new cities that just turned sized 3 will now celebrate and grow. And if you were really aggressive expanding, a couple of new ones will get there every 3 or 4 turns and it will continue almost all the way to SOL.

But I should practice a bit more with celebrating in monarchy since it's hard to do a side by side comparison when you're in the middle of a MP game. I need to get a better feel for it.

It might not go down too well in your games......it takes bloody ages to move guys around/to specialists so that the city celebrates in monarchy.

not really, a quick scan of cities will show you who is and isnt' celebrating and you need only adjust those cities..perhaps a few of the otherones if you haven't made the terrain celebrateable hows that for a bad word haha

[rah]

Yes, but you have to switch before you can do a comparison.
