Quote from: Scruiser on October 04, 2014, 10:01:14 am Yeah, good player modding could implement static versions of all the types of government suggested. This way, both the type of position, and the number of individual's in that position, could cause different civ level behavior. In a republic, the representative/senators make the choices. In feudalism, the choices of many individual local lords shape the civs choices. In a monarchy, the choices of a single king shape the entire civ. (I don't actually know what affect government can have on civ behavior right now, does anyone know?) I think the best way of changing this would be to allow leader's personalities to influence the civ behavior. For example feudalism -> monarchy with centralization of power.Īlso, right now the overall type of government doesn't affect the civilization's behavior that much, if at all. I think it would be more interesting to make it so that the type of government can change under certain conditions. ![]() The main limitation would be that each government type would be fixed at the start of world-gen. ![]() If WertyMiniBot wants something like this in right now, he could go the modding forum and with good instruction, have something done within an hour. Yeah, good player modding could implement static versions of all the types of government suggested. If you have any other form of government to suggest, feel free to post it here. Well, that's my suggestion on government. (Remember that you are just an omnipotent overseer of the fortress's development, who will help the dwarves to follow the government's requests.) Goblins:Probably the only species to favor anarchy. Kobolds:Usually autocracy, sometimes anarchy. (We all know how much dwarves hate nobles.) Humans:Very probably feudalism or monarchy, as it was back in real life medieval times.ĭwarves:Possibly biased towards democracy. So what forms of governments would each sentient species in DF prefer? Here are my suggestions: It would be extremely rare for any civilization with decent ethics to have anarchy in any normal circumstance. In DF, this would usually occur when a civilization is changing government (fairly rare). Civilizations with anarchy will have everyone fighting over power, with no laws or nobles to control them. Smaller civs with 2 or 3 towns close together would probably prefer democracy, though.Īnarchy: A lack of government basically, it's every man for themselves. This would probably be prefered by most sizable civilizations in DF, as a democracy would probably require everyone in the civilizations to stop work and go to attend the assembly. In DF, this would be modeled by having a single noble for each town that takes the votes of the citizens, and whatever is the majority the noble represents for the town. ![]() Republic:A form of government where people vote for an official to represent them. This would be simulated in DF by having no nobles, but instead having the population attend an assembly to decide on a law. Every once in a while, these aristocrats will attend assemblies to decide what happens in a civilization.ĭemocracy:A form of government where the people rule. This would be modeled in DF by having the richest of the population in a civilization (Up to one 100th) as aristocrats. Oligarchy:Also know as Aristocracy, Oligarchy is a form of government where a few rich people make the decisions for the country. The current version of Dwarf Fortress already models this pretty accurately, with barons being under counts, counts being under dukes, and dukes being under the high monarchy. In DF, a monarch, a consort, and their children would be the only royal nobles in the civilization.įeudalism:A form of government where people work for a noble that in return gives them protection, and who himself works for a higher up noble. Monarchy:A form of government where a single royal family rules the entire civilization. In DF this would be represented by having a single royal noble for the entire civilization. There are several forms of government commonly seen in real life civilization:Īutocracy:The most basic form of government, where a single person has control over the entire population. What if the different DF civilizations had different forms of government? It would make sense, because in real life different countries have different governments.
