    They've been doing a pretty good job patching it so far, but it could still use some working.

      i think that it's managable in Democracy and Communism, but in Despotism it's simply insane. Monarchy isn't much of an improvement, and the whole "no pop killing" rush system makes monarchy much less attractive.

      in my opinion, monarchy should have the same corrutpion levels as a republic, but a republic should make 1.5x as much money (democracy has 2x right?) that way republic makes more money than a monarchy, but monarchy has much less corruption than a democracy. maybe i'll mod that now.

        1) Republic and democracy has the exact same bonus. It's one more trade for each tiles which is already producing another trade.

        2) The democracy has actually the lowest corruption of all gvt.

          I don't have a problem with the corruption levels.
          I don't think Firaxis should change corruption significantly becuase its so easy to change the corruption yourself using the editor.

            this might be a reason why you have to switch to democracy

              According to alexman's cprruption study, republic and monarchy do have the same corruption rate. The advantage for the republic is the one extra trade per square that has one trade.

                It has been so long seen I posted this thread tha I forgot about it untill you guys posted stuff in here. I put this up a couple of weeks after Civ3 came out. But if you dont like corruption you can always change it in the editor.

                    there should be an option of "yes a little too much". i still dont really like how much there is, but i dont think it is as bad as i did when civ3 first came out.
                    The Civ3 world is one where stealth bombers are unable to sink galleons, Man-O-Wars are a powerful counter to battleships, and knights always come equipped with the AT-S2 Anti-Tank Sword.

                      I've been reading through the old posts ( I like nostalgia) and I thought that this thread was still relevant. I wanted to reply, and I wanted to see others reply as well. That's why I answered it. Its a good topic.

                        I do not find the corruption enjoyable at all ...

                        But I don't have any really better ideas for limiting empire size. I think it does that job fairly well. Its pretty much just like the riot factor in Civ2 deity ... a pain, but you can work around it.

                        So I don't like it, but I don't have any better idea that would be significantly different. Its ok.

                        But man was it a shock first game!

                            Monarchy and Republic have the same corruption by distance (in some cases Republic is 1% better). It is corruption by number of cities where they vary.

                              this is causing the problem, i.e. no one has got one!!(yet?)

                              same goes for ICS? REX?
