OT: SE4 players thoughts on OTHER games

[Puke]

regarding linear political progression in galciv:

i mean, from what i read, that you go from imperal to republic to democracy to federation. each one is better than the Last, and harder to maintain. there are no choices, you cant get different benefits from a democracy or a republic or a oligarchy. you cant choose a socialist or capitalist economy.

you dont decide anything or make any tradeoffs, you just progress from one to the next. or, in theory, move backwards if you were having a better time maintaining party power in a previous form of government.
