UNofficial... Republic after Persia?

[Arnelos]

The Apolytonian Republican Front (ARF) wants to know what the current stance of the citizens of Apolytonia is toward our movement to topple the monarchy and replace it with a Republic immediately (as in 1-2 turns afterward, allowing for war weariness to disipate) following the end of the war with Persia.

While the vile monarchists may attempt to coerce any who would support our valiant cause, we are certain that this poll is using a "secret ballot" so that the wretched monarchists will be unable to determine who voted in favor or against

As such, feel safe to vote however you truly believe.

[Donegeal]

YES!!!!! So we will already be in Republic for GA!

OMG!!! What am I saying?!?!?! I'm on the cusp of power! I could loose all!!

We have to try to determine how bad war-weariness will be when we switch over- since we lack a market infrastructure and a large amount of cathedrals, war -weariness after such long campaigns will hit us badly. We also have to prepare to strike a very quick blow against the Americans.

Until we have a good 'happyness' infrastructure (markets so that we get 6 happy faces a city from luxuries or 6 happy faces from cathedrals) and created a war plan vs. America to finish them off in 3-4 turns at most, we should hold off any change to Republic. If these two conditions met, then fine, lets switch as quickly as possible.

i'm saying no for the sheer military reasons.


we're far too warmongering a people to sustain a republic

[rendelnep]

I am a full suporter for republic. Down with the monarchy!!!!

[Duddha]

NO! Uphold the Monarchy!

[Sheik]

How many marketplaces do we have?

[Sean]

Lets go republic. Stop these long drawn out wars. If we must fight, make them as quick as possible.

[roadcage]

Absolutely NOOOOO!


Before Republic can be seriously entertained, we need navigation, a Harbor on Uber, and road linkup on Uber.

Remember folks, Garrisons don't put down the hotheads in Republic. Uber has no happy or smiley faces and no hopes of getting any soon.

Or alternatively temples across Uber.

[Aro]

I agree with roadcage , uber and sheik. I'm for republic too, but not now. We need marketplaces, cathedrals and navigation, or we'll find impossible develop Uber Isle, for instance.
Btw, in my games I usually change from monarchy to democracy.

[Meshelic]

Definetely we should hold off on the switching to Republic until we're prepared i.e. building marketplaces for happiness from imports, as well as harbors. Until we have the infrastructure to connect our cities better on the happiness scale, it could be disastrous, especially if the general consensus is that we move to war with the Americans...

Honestly, it's never too late for a GA, and I definitely don't approve of wasting it on a bunch of dirt clod cities like we have now.

Can you imagine having your GA in the middle of the space race....................

[Duddha]

After Persia we still need to conquer America.

[wervdon]

I'm voting no for now. At the very least, we should have cathedrals built where needed to make up for the military-police effect on happiness under monarchy. Also, Im pretty sure we are going to attack america, and it doesnt make sense to switch until we are sure we are headed for a long period of peace (assuming we start the wars anyways).

Also, I dont think we are quiet ready for our GA, Im leaning towards waiting and getting it from Hoover Dam, honestly. Though now that we have the pyramids, we may end up getting it from the next wonder we build no matter what it is, Im really not sure

[Inverse Icarus]

you expect large periods of peace? what about manifest destiny?
