Did Firaxis change the length of Anarchy in 1.17f?

[korn469]

I am playing as greece, but i am only going through one full turn of Anarchy after a revolution, so is this a bug or did firaxis change the anarchy time?

has anyone else noticed this? if so could you please confirm it for me

firaxis if you did change the anarchy time could you please state why?

if they did change anarchy times what did they change it to? one turn for normal civs and instant change for religious civs or is it something else?

which way do you like better?

First anarchy > Republic, only lasted 2 or 3 turns.

Current anarchy > Democracy... lasted 5 turns.

I too would like to know if this has been adjusted.

Maybe the more cities you have (or population or whatever), the longer it takes for a revolution to be achieved?

Best solution: be a religious civ

Playing as American, the period of anarchy changing from despot to monarch was 7 turns under the new patch.

Seven turns is a long time. Given the fact that I fought almost constantly against Bab bowman, hoplites, jaguar warriors and the Mounted Warriors to 500 AD and still never got a leader has convinced me to play as Japanese next time.

Heck, I bet I didn't get my veteran troops promoted more than 2% of their battles. Never had more than 10 elite units.

Veeeerrrryyy frustrating. Can't get leader, corruption awful, 7 turn switch. Argh. I understand now why it is caused the Forbidden Palace. And relocating my regular palace

jimmytrick, didn't know you really play civ3

Could you please post your civ poem once again, I can't find the thread and fell off my chair laughing when first reading it.

I think they shorten it. I was playing rome and I switched from Despot to republic in two turns after the patch. It used to take me up to five turns.

I usually wait untill I have about 5 to 8 cities before I switch (or I run out of room and switch).

There is a possibility that there is a pattern here. This was found in Civ II after years of trying. There the turns of anarchy were directly related to when the revolution began as related to the next "Oedo year." (Oedo figured this out.) These years in that game were every four turns, different actual year numbers depending on the difficulty level. Perhaps we have something similar. Thus one time it's seven turns and another it is one depending on a formula unknown at this time. Religious societies always experience only one turn, a very powerful inducement to play one of these. n

First Anarchy in my first post-patch game lasted only 2 turns. I tried a little bit with it and it was always 2-3 turns. Level is Emperor.

Shouldn't emperor be about 10 turn? After all, you want a challenge right? If I was playing that level I would want it that long, gives the AI a chance to crush you when you're weak.

Post-patch I've had as low as 3 and as high as 7. Same as it ever was.

From what you are all saying, I think it's a random number between 1 and 7 now.

[korn469]

I think it's a random number between 1 and 7 now

it's not a random number because i have changed governments three times all and each time i had one full turn of anarchy, and nothing more

the important thing is i maintained the same number of cities so i think the number of cities has something to do with it, and if you have the religious special ability or not

What civilization? And are you playing a mod?

Check the attributes for your chosen civilization. If it's religious and it's not meant to be, that's the problem.

sorry i was still playing the same game

i'm greeks on a small map and i have 6 cities, on monarch
yes it's a mod but i didn't change any setting that refer to anarchy

If you play a religious civ, anarchy always takes 1 turn.
