What governments is CIV III going to have?

[CIA_Operative]

Does anybody know of the list of governments Civ III is going to have?

I was always a commie in the game hopefully the'll add some such as socialism and facsism.

Give some feedback on what governments you think should be in the game.

I think that there will still be the major ones like:

Democracy, Republic, Monarchy, and Commi.

There are definetly others though!

[Diablo, Bro. of Mephisto]

I would like to see:

1. Democracy
2. Republic
3. Communism
4. Socialism
5. Monarchy
6. Constitutional Monarchy
7. Despotism

Notes -

1. Socialism - this form of government would be a mixture of communism, and democracy/republic. you would have more control over the people, but not enough to become tyrannical. it would be alot like fundamentalism was in civ2, except not as powerful.

2. Con. Monarchy - this would be what britain is today. enough said.

[KrazyHorse]

Wasn't this announced a few months ago?

Step 1: Take the Civ2 government list
Step 2: Replace "Fundamentalism" with "Nationalism"

[Inverse Icarus]

KH is correct.

and IMHO, (and im not british), that constitutional monarchy crap is old. the queen really has no power today, does she?

[CIA_Operative]

The only thing the CTPs had for them was the many forms of government, really you think that just the Civ2 govs plus a few more would make it complete? No facsism, no socialism, and no future forms of governments such as corprate republic or virtual democracy.

Think about a few new ones plus many other forms of old type governments.

[Inverse Icarus]

but, CIA, it was CONFIRMED BY FIRAXIS that its just the civ 2 govts -fundamentalism +nationalism

[Alex 14]

Nevertheless the governments should have completely different features.

Why? The governments themselves (in real life) haven't changed, so why should the game?

[Zealot]

I think that there should be a corporative form of govrnment, because it's the main form of government of the industrialized countries, very different from greece's Democracy.

I also think that the virtual democracy should be changed to "puppet" democracy, like Indonesia (for example) with some cultural drawbacks due to the incomplete freedom of speach.

[Sabre2th]

There is no "virtual democracy." That was in CTP only. *SHUDDER*

Civ3 will have the following:

• Communism
• Democracy
• Despotism
• Nationalism
• Monarchy
• Republic

Well they may want to consider Democracies actually allowing you to have a war when you want to, and construct offensive military units.

I really hope that Democracy doesnt become so favorably unbalanced in terms of allowing aggressive Alexander-style military word-conquest, that it was in Civ-2. Time and time again I have managed to conquer or neutralize several AI-empires under end-game Democracy, once all my big cities had all the counter-acting happiness-improvements and my empire had most happiness-wonders. The 50% senate-overrule was too weak and/or too seldomly occurring, and also too easy bypassable by ignoring AI-diplomacy contact-attempts.

Also, all those AI-cities with huge dust-collecting fortunes made pacifying big occupied AI-cities (by rush-building cathedrals) far to easy and unchallenging under democracy.

I'm not sure if Nationalism has been confirmed as a gov. choice yet. There has been speculation and people making assumptions about it but I don't think that there has been much more confirmation than that. If it has could somebody provide a link to that confirmation?

[Az]

err ... I am confused ... so there is no social engineering ?
I am sure I heard something about social engineering....

anyway , isn't nationalism a politically correct word for Nazism?
