Alright, here is the scenario I just went threw...
Im in a Republic. My three oldest cities all have a wonder each in them (Pyramids in one, Sistine Chapel in another, Shakespeares Theatre in the last)... and two out of the three are building new wonders.. Magellan's voyage (i kind of want the added movement, just me..) and Wall Street ( i know, small wonder, but still a wonder).
Anyways, im in a sticky position. i HAVE the tech for Democracy, but ive been putting off using it. This is because 1: My workers dont need the boost of efficiency, they've done everything already, and 2: All the very important production (aside from a FP on the other side of the world) is in my three core cities, so they dont need the better coruption levels.
So switching to Democracy, i lose 6 turns of production to anarachy. I do it anyways, i have the dillusion that no one could possibly beat me to building Magellan's first... im the only one with the tech, and im half-way done, with 10 turns left till its completed.
I come out of Anarchy, corruption isn't changed very drastically other than the rim cities of the continent... and, as the old saying goes. if something can go wrong, it will. My neighbors to the south, the Americans, complete Magellan's 2 turns before I could. All because i spent 6 turns in anarchy for nothing.
So, i ask you people, are the bonus'es of Democracy THAT great the Republic should be abandoned?
Personally... i dont think so anymore.
