Only if you plan on having a lot of non-puppet cities or a lot of policies Joined: Nov 17, Messages: DST , Mar 7, Joined: May 24, Messages: Chibiabos , Mar 8, Joined: Oct 14, Messages: Tho by comparison to Tradition and Liberty it can be a little lacking. Matter of fact Representation is actually one of the lower priorities of Liberty. Before getting Collective Rule you should focus on infrastructure on your capital.

Thanks, Talamare! Thanks just what I wanted! Danny View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by Talamare :. Thanks that's about what I thought. In Gods and Kings Liberty looked overpowered, but I think they overcorrected and made it weaker than Tradition. The few times I pick Liberty are to rush Petra in an otherwise awkward location.

It greatly increases the efficacy of newly-established local governments, which facilitates acquiring new Social Policies. The effect is such that your empire immediately enters a Golden Age.

This is a high-end policy which works best if adopted early in the game. The reduced Culture cost for Policies is not retroactive, though, so it makes sense to adopt Representation before greatly expanding your empire - this way you'll get the best out of it. This will help towards the gaining of Rationalism policies later in the game, and indirectly boost science compare Landed Elite , which leads to science by population.

On the other hand, the benefit of a Golden Age is greater the more Gold production you get from terrain, so you must make sure you have enough luxury resources , preferably with the respective tile improvements.

Representation is a policy where the citizens of a nation appoint "representatives" to run the government. This might be considered a step up from collective rule, once the population becomes too large to support that government type. In a representative form of government, the country is divided into smaller, more manageable districts or parishes, or states, or whatever , and each chooses one or more local citizens to represent their interests in the government for a set period of time.

The representatives form a parliament or some other kind of deliberative body, and they rule the country.
