Society VIII: Quest for Perfection

[EPW]

It seemed kind of unbalanced to have 2x taxes and trade with 1/2 science. Maybe 1.5 like Monarchy would be better? or 2x with double military cost compared to republic?

[Theben]

Whatever it is, it'd have to be a LOT better than republic.

Okay

Technocracy - Available with Space Flight
Double tax, trade, (full wonder income/turn)
1/2 Research Cost
Army support cost = 1.5 * army size

Ha ha. Perhaps open to discussion in the future, but not for this game...

I don't really think it's necessary... But as I say, up for discussion after the game. Thank you for thinking though.

-DC.

[EPW]

Fascism - Available with Mass Education
No taxes/trade
Income per turn = # of Armies
1/2 Army Cost

Hey, I know, we can make the game less complicated.

[EPW]

We could, but the complicatedness is what makes it fun. Personally, I think it is a brilliant idea.

[Sparrowhawk]

Agreed. Smiley should be commended on an excellent idea.

THe idea of adding a late game government might be interesting in theory, but as Theben points out, in practice it is highly unlikely it would ever be used....unless there is no penalty for revolting, the current penalty is much too high to want to do it too often (which is a good thing in my opinion). In the last game I was racing for Republic as my singular goal (well, along with staying alive of course) as the higher income alone can help to ensure victory....though republic is obviously not a necessity to winning, it does help greatly.
