EST - If you're running version 2.42, the date on the screen is not to be trusted. At the beginning of your turn (when you're asked to change to a new government) it will show the date from your last turn. This appears to be fixed in MGE; I don't know about FW. |

EastSideTrader, if you discouver Monarchy in the turn of Oedo's rev, then yes you can switch right away, but otherwise, rev after you have moved all of your units the turn before, hit done , and poof instant rev no disorder or lost science. This works for me everytime because when i first started doing it, i thought i could rev on the turn AFTER i moved my units, but this doesnt' work and then you wait three turns with anarchy |

DaveV.Yes, I have 2.42 so that's what happened. Amyway I'll probably experiment a bit to be sure I get it off pat. The period in anarchy didn't gripe me when I thought it was random. Thanks to oedo's gem it did when I screwed up this time. Mercantile. Thanks. Your point about before or after moving units is well worth noting. |

According to what this is saying, the player moves last in an SP game? That is, that if you get offered the gov change in your own build segment of an Oedo year, take it as that's when it applies? I waited to the end of 1786 (Deity), then revolted -- instant change. Not clear on 2.42 year ID problem. |

In v2.42 the year indicator on the right hand panel of the screen does not change to the current year until it is your turn to move. Thus the build queue events such as Wonder creation, temple creation and, critically, technical advances occur whilst the date indicator is one turn in retard. Thus, if you discover Monarchy whilst the date indicates 2100 BC take the offered Revolution because you are actually in 2050 BC (an 'O' for oedo) year.I had assumed that it worked the same in MP!!! Fortunately I have not had to change governments in any of the Succession games thus far - else I would have had much egg on my face!! Thanks for that tip guys.   ------------------

To be a king in such a year - now what would I not cheerfully give for such a thing!  |

So an additional point must be, I suppose, that if you get, say, republic, from a trade route bonus that would happen during your turn and the 2.42 indicator would be accurate? |

No, happened to me over the week-end.Once the caravan fills the beaker box you then wait til the next build queue events stage before the advance registers. So you have to beware the 2.42 date in the same way as with advances completed by cities. What I am not now sure about is the case of an advance gained by negotiation or theft during the turn phase of the game? Methinks an immediate acceptance of the offer to change gov.t may occur during the turn. If so it pays to keep a note of the date when going into negotiation because the date is not displayed by the negotiation screen. |

Even though the date isn't shown on the negotiations screen, or when it asks if you want to change governments... Just minimize it, or move it out of the way so you see the date  |

LOL Ming, it took me two months to figure out how to do that, i was continually watching the clock before i would discover Monarchy as i could never see the damm date and then i would revolt after i said no and wait three turns  I managed to figure it out eventually. Thanks to evolution of course. |

Bump. This is too important to let it fall from view. |

Oedo, you seem to be a Civ2 secret cracker. This is actually very useful, a pity they don't supply this kind of info with the game. |
