Can War work?

[Violet]

You know, that's a strategy I haven't tried in Civ starting with Civ 1. City goes into revolt, raze the city.

Somehow I think it might not work so well.

Well, once you actually become good at the game... you can do what you damn well fucking please I ask you: WHO is the despot?

YOU is the despot!

I'm disappointed that there is no option to kill just the dissenters, particularly when in Despotism.

What unhappy citizens? Oh you mean the ones with their heads on pikes lining the city walls? Why do you ask, citizen? Are you unhappy too?

Seems a little dark for the company that makes the games... but I would start playing them in earnest if I could do that.

A non-niche use for despotism? No wai.

If Civilization were a multiplayer game, I surely would seek you out as an ally.

With your opposition being me... you'd need all the help you could get.

Policing the world is not our job, and we generally suck at it when we try to do it anyway. Defend when attacked, and limit it to that in my opinion.

And then the age of imperialism shall begin anew

Not always a good idea, that. Sometimes a pre-emptive strike stalls aggression that would likely be worse left unchecked. I'm not condoning vaporization of every perceived threat imaginable, but limiting your options with conscientious objection can undermine security.

We need to beef up our spy and assassin networks to help minimize the size and scope of these threats before they go genocidal...and/or global.

Nono, I agree: kill everyone else. Can't trust them.

Or, I don't know, you could be a bit more minimalistic
