Odd that the murdercyborgs are better at democracy than anyone else, huh?ġ, Law slots should be determined by tech, the same way System Development Level is.Ģ, Senate seats should always be available if a certain support threshold is available.ģ, Party strength (and thus available laws) should depend on party support.Ĥ, Party support should not only come from having built that building once, but still having it. Let's not make this game a debate about IRL governance issues, because at the end of the day, any system can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on what kind of people you're working with.Ħ, Craver democracy makes a strange kind of sense when you consider how they work: sure, they're single-minded in the extreme, but decisions are made through group consensus, based on input and votes, without peer pressure.
I know that asking for faction-specific governments is a stretch, but then let's make the ones we have good enough to keep. I'm not trying to force the fluff on the crunch too much, but these factions are all about having one guy calling the shots and the rest cheering them on. Going by the previous example, I've been in situations where the Militarist party had some 90% support and the other 2 shared what was left, but since they have been doing this for a while now, all 3 parties had the same expertise.ĥ, Vodyani and Horatios voting. Seriously, just being in a Cold War and sending trespassers packing at your border systems (a weird habit from the AI, even with Closed Borders) is enough to turn your population into warmongers.Ĥ, Party strength is silly. Governments are buffs to whatever you're doing, instead of supporting a specific playstyle.ģ, The Militarist party will eventually take control of your government, partially because it has numerous events that support it that pop up increasingly frequently as the game goes on, partially because the other parties don't have that kind of support.
I like the idea, but I'm not a fan of the execution.ġ, Party obligatory law takes up precious law space, which is mostly not worth it.Ģ, As Rice_22 said in this thread, Republic is usually the best, with Democracy a solid second. Ecologist for Riftborn).Īlso, getting too many foreign pops in your democracy will really play a number on your carefully managed politics. This is much more convenient for Republic & Federation, who can more easily lobby for who gets to be the second party or stop a useless party from getting a seat (i.e. Militarists? Everyone gets that easily enough by starting a war, even if you don't want to. Want Ecologists? Colonial ships and food techs, avoid Industry. Want Scientists? You better focus on Science improvements and explorer fleets, and avoid Religious techs/buildings. And late game, +1 law slot doesn't really compare all that favourably to +50% law benefits (4*1.5 = 6, 6 > 5).ĭemocracy also forces you to play a certain way more than the others, which is really the biggest beef I have with it. Since you'll be wanting to use that influence to get you minor factions and spread your zone of influence asap (which the party-specific law upkeep cuts into). Sure, Democracy lets you have 3 Senate leaders at once, and three leveling parties as well, but there really isn't enough influence in the early game to allow fully making use of their benefits versus a Republic. I'll rank it on par with Federation, since I prefer having some more significant control over 2 parties than having 3 parties that you have limited control over. Democracy is much better than Dictatorship, I suppose.
