I put forth this thread to start to discuss possible changes in civics during Term VI. Obviously, before changes occur a poll would be conducted.
Because of the current militaristic stance we are taking and the military moves I am introducing in other threads I advocate 2 specific civics.
Vassalage- The biggest gain is the +2 experience points for new units. This will allow new units to come out of the Barracks with 2 promotions as opposed to 1. This would no doubt have a significant impact on future wars. The increased cost of this civic is 16 gold per turn more than our current civic of Barbarism. Because our current troop levels will allow us to fully use the additional Vassalage benefit of +23 free units, we would actually save 7 gold per turn under Vassalage.
Organized Religion- The gain here is two-fold. Missionaries without Monastaries allows for the more rapid deployment of religions. The immediate benefit would be for the state religion (I assume Islam because we founded it and it is less vulnerable than Bombay, center of Confucianism.) This would also allow for the spread of other religions in anticipation of the eventual adoption of Free Religion.
The second benefit of Organized religion is the production bonus of +25% for buildings/wonders for those cities that posess the state religion. All cities still have buildings to construct so the benefit could be felt across the board.
