I think you might even be slightly underestimating the benefit of the 25%, I couldn't work out if it applies to individual trade routes or to all the routes added together (not that it really matters since we seem to get 4gpt routes everywhere).
On the civic switches I was planning to switch back to caste three turns ago, but that would have delayed Free Market by a turn so I didn't!
Changes I'd like to see:
Hereditary Rule + Bureaucracy + Caste System + Free Market + Organised Religion
- We don't need HR, but it's the same price as Despotism.
- Bureau lets us get our University in the capital quick (although it could wait another five turns until other unis have been built and we need to start Oxford) and gives us a bit of a commerce boost.
- We've whipped moderately hard for the last eight turns, so we're crying out for Caste for a while at least.
- FM
- OR will let us get our other Universities up quicker. We're a while away from producing the great person we need to start the next GA - Cannae and Om are both on the job, but have been running slower than I'd hoped because we didn't switch back to Caste sooner.
I've got to go out now, so I'll try and play the turn in the morning if you're around. As long as someone remembers to pause...
