Title: Starting Government Type
Post by: AtomikKrab on January 16, 2010, 02:45:34 PM

I have a question on something

why do different government types have different starting research point allocations?

I was tooling around in the game creation and noticed this

Because different governments have different proportions of starting installations, including research labs. Some governments also have a lot less overall industry than others. A Pax Utopia is going to start off a lot weaker than a Military Dictatorship.

Is there a list up somewhere with the effects for each government type?

In the "View Race" (Ctrl+F2) window, you can play around with the various governments. It´ll show the various modifiers for Xenophobie, Expansionism, Trade and so on, but AFAIK, not how much the number of installations are affected.

So the government type effects the six government modifiers on the view race details page and the starting tech   points, research labs and number of shipyards. Is there anything else it effects?
