Greetings to the BHG motely crew, and all other forum members.
I have a concern about the "yanking out" of governments from this game. IMO, the idea of "separate, but equal" governments doesn't deterr from the fun, or playability this game will otherwise have. In fact, I see it as adding on to the excitement and strategic scope of this game.
You see, when I play Call To Power II, for example, I'm always sucked in to the game, because I have the ability to shape my empire(and the world), under a government of my choosing. If I choose to rule under Communism, I always force myself to deal with the limitations and consequences that it would bring. If my my economy is unhealthy, I try to trade more, and spend less. If my people are unhappy, I can either lower the workday hours, or up the wages and food rations. All of this creates an element of strategy, wherein I'm forced to deal with my economic shortcomings, instead of solely concentrating on military issues and strategic tactics, and IMO, it adds to the fun.
Personally, I hope you guys reconsider.
P.S. I have a few ideas to add to this concept. If you'd like to hear them, I'd be happy to post them.
