Poll: Would you like to see a return of the senate

[Firebird]

No, we do not need the senate. Boy, did I hate when those pesky doves blocked my war against the evil ____ when I was just about to take the strategical very important city of ____.

Please, fill in the blancs.

[Firebird]

I could however be persuaded if the senate could be turned off via an option.

I just love options

[neonext]

yes, options are never a bad thing

[Gangerolf]

the senate was one of the most annoying things in civ1&2. pissed me off

[hetairoi22]

In Civ2 they were definitively to powerfull! If they are to be in they should have fewer powers. Maybe they could represent different cities and give advise on what that city needs etc...?

That's what I suggested. Just, if you go against the Senate, your people become more war weary than now. If the Senate, and therefore your people, agree with your war, then war weariness is lessened.

I'll agree with that. It's certainly a decent Civ3 application of the Senate. Would republics and democracies then need an additional bonus to offset this potential handicap?
