    Foot of Goverment

    Whats it all about? I have seen it mentioned a few times now, under the entry about hive governments, as one of the +/- when choosing a civ race ability and as a bonus from an X. A search in the encyclopaedia and on poly have come up with nothing useful.

    I picked up Moo3 because it was £3 and its been fun and worth the price. But then again I wasnt expecting anything from it.

    Heavy Foot of Government or HfoG, represents the amount of bureaucracy of your government. What it does is modifier the cost of everything you build.
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

      Thank you for the quick response. Would anyone happen to know the % saving for using the hive collectivist government type?

      By everything do you literally mean everything? Or just deas and planetary buildings?

        According to Shuma's government guide, Hive reduces HfoG by 10%.

        I believe it affects the costs of DEA's, planetary building, and ships.

          Yep,
          and it has to be seen as a Factor.
          i.e. a HFoG of 2 means that you have to spend twice the amount of Production Points you see in the SHip Design Screen after dsigning a new Vessel,
          HFoG of means they are tripled and so on

            Changing government type impacts on HFoG. Its well worth a few turns of disruption to halve your HFOG from time to time.
            To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

              Unfortunately, revolutions no longer halve HFoG. The foot's size is now directly linked to number of stars & pop points under an empire's control (rather than randomly rising throughout the game as before). It can be reduced by government type (type, but not change) and oppressometer settings. There's probably one or two other angles at reduction I'm forgetting... but basically, there's no way to keep it down if you want to grow.

                I knew they had tweaked it, but not that it had changed so drastically. Good to know.
