Civ 5 doesn't have different forms of governments any more?

Alright everyone, I'm hitting the sack. I'll see all of you come morning.

I think the ideal wedding song for me would be the theme from Wedding Peach. And the reception would include peaches as one of the foods, and there would be peach blossoms everywhere, along with lilies, daisies and salvia. However, I'm not even remotely interested in trying to find a lover, much less getting married, but I just like the IDEA of a Wedding Peach-themed wedding since I'm a fan of that anime and real-life weddings make me think of it.

I wonder if any bronies have ever had pony-themed weddings? It would be a lot easier to do that since the wedding episodes came out, they could theme it off of the actual wedding shown in the show.

I also wonder what kind of wedding themes the MLP characters would have as their dream weddings (to lin the wedding topic to the ponies). Rarity's would obviously be VERY traditional, white and frilly, but what about the others? Pinkie's might be more like a kid's birthday party kind of thing or at least would have bright-colored clothing and decorations with lots of balloons. Rainbow Dash would decorate with rainbows, of course, and would want to have the Wonderbolts do an airshow as reception entertainment. Fluttershy would probably want to use the Canterlot gardens so that the animals could participate, and she would only invite her closest friends so that there wouldn't be a big crowded party. Twilight and Applejack are a little harder, Applejack said she doesn't like frilly stuff, however, she also seems like the type who would want to do whatever would be a traditional wedding for someone in the Apple family.

Goodnight, Drenius.

Well, you adopt social policies. The only social branches that directly correspond to government types are Freedom, Autocracy, and Order (basically democracy, marxism and fascism). Other than that, you get stuff like Honor, Rationalism, Tradition, etc.

As I understand it, Food Banks get most of their food from stuff that Supermarkets have thrown out due to the boxes being damaged or having expiried dates or whatever, but the food is still good. So it's mostly non perishable stuff. They do have gardens and stuff, but I can't immagine those being a large contributor.

Night, Drenius

@JT: So, he can go from 'Fashionista' to 'Dickhead' to 'Sophisticated' to 'MANLY'.

I guess Hoity Toity and Blueblood are in the same ballpark, but I still constantly find myself amazed by Voice Actors, even though I KNOW I probably shouldn't be.

Night Drenius.

'Night, Drenius.

Including the changeling invasion, for the really hardcore fans

Evening everypony. What's going on?

Well the way it worked in Civ1 (I think it's the same in at least Civ2 and civ3) is that there are different forms of government: Anarchy, Despotism, Monarchy, communism, Republic, and Democracy. From left to right they give increasing bonuses, but make it more difficult to wage war. In Democracy, every square gets +2 trade and there is 0 corruption, giving you insane tech progression, but every unit outside the site has extra upkeep (even settlers), every military unit outside the city casues 2 unhappiness, you're sometimes forced to accept peace offers if you do somehow manage to wage war, and you get a revolution if people are too unhappy.

@What: So a bunch of guys dress in Changeling outfits and invade the wedding with that slime stuff Nickelodeon always uses?

@Orion We seem to be talking about weddings and voice actors.

And my brother recently found out I watch ponies.

Must sleep. Goodnight.

I wonder if they could get a Morgan Freeman pony.

Night, Freeman

@storyyeller Huh. That's interesting. In 5, there are ten social branches, which you unlock through spending accumulated culture, and which are seperated by ages. In the stone age, there is Tradition (good for small empires), Liberty (good for expansion), and Honor (good for armies). Then you get Piety (good for culture) in the Classical age, Patronage (good for city-state diplomacy) and Commerce (good for seafaring and gold) in the Medieval age, and Rationalism (science, incompatible with Piety) soon after. Then, you have your choice between Freedom, Autocracy and Order, which can't be used together.

So, ironically, a monarchy (which might be rolled into Tradition or Piety) probably isn't a good choice for a warmonger.

In that case, don't let him hear about the Equestrian civ mod.

EDIT: Fixed a typo. Typed Honor twice.

Oh sweet Celestia! Civilization? Please don't let Colin see this. I swear he's addicted to Civ 5.

As for weddings? If Aqua and I get married, it will probably have some relation to our interest; at the seas during the night.

Honor, liberty, and honer? I think the third was tradition.

Haven't played that. Played Galciv though. Man is that addicting.

Also, goodnight Freeman.

Night Freeman.

A human Applejack for y'all

I could go for some... apples right now.
