Communism MANY people miss the point

Went back and looked at the manual after I wrote my analysis (wrong order :-(). Comrade Tribune is correct you only get 8 units for biggers cities (which also deprives you of more commerce.) Making Communism even more inferior. I think they should make military units count double for policing under communism. It

Communism in MP interesting but I seem to be missing the portion of the manual that talks about CIV 3 MP :-) so I don't really care.

Has anybody verified that spy as a communist is better than in a democracy. I find Espionage to be so expensive that they only think I bother to do is plant spies.

Not quite - war weariness is not as large (if at all) a factor when the Dem or Rep civ has war declared on it. War wearniness is much more of a factor if the Dem or Rep civ declares war on someone else. Throw in Police Stations (reduce war weariness) and suffrage - and that nut just got tougher to crack - never mind the Dem's 150% production bonus.

So, those Com Civ's may be in for a rude surprise, especially if there's still wiggle room for unit upgrades and suddenly the marines are landing with Jet Fighter support and Battleship bombardment on your shores ....
