Here is a list I've made of possible combinations, feel free to take them or even reinvent them. Apologies if I'm being a bit presumptive but researching Governments is a bit of a hobby of mine.

I've also proposed a few possible bonuses for some of them, but it's incomplete as of now. I will continue to update this, but if you'd like I can make the updates as separate posts.

I'm kinda disappointed you think this mod is lacking because I respect and like to hear your opinion, but yeah, it was my intention when making it to make it as minimal as possible in terms of gameplay impact, and just fill the flavor gap that's only partly occupied by policies.

EA was a lot of change to the game, and whenever playing it, I felt like I'd strayed too far away from the base game that a) players and my childhood self were familiar with and b) was wellish balanced by a big team of many professional playtesters. Il Principe (and this mod) were meant to be both as little a radical departure from the main BNW mechanics and gameplay focuses and as much as possible either an extension of already existing mechanics or a direct translation of a Firaxis mechanic from either Civ 4 or 6.

Anyways, I sometimes feel compelled to mod because I've put so much time into it (it's also fun), and things (EA) feel unfinished. I want to leave EA behind (lol never I'll be back) and have my bugless crashless Il Principe and then I can make and polish civ mods and actually play the game to my hearts content. Or probably not, at this point modding is by far more fun than playing.

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't think I'll be implementing them, but I can tell that you put a lot of thought into them. If you want to make a modmod, or your own mod, I'd be happy to help! Just shoot me a PM.

Anyways yeah kinda drunk ily Lucius, sorry taking a while to reply, toodles

Thanks for the reply Iska and Ismet! Sad to hear I've disappointed you, but nevertheless, thanks for your response, delayed by drinking as it may have been.

Your reasonings for why you don't want to make changes are perfectly valid to me. Though I feel it is quite sad that we aren't able to change between already unlocked governments. I too respect you a lot and am willing to accept it as what it is, and what it is, is your mod hence you can do whatever you want with it.

Thanks for the offer of help in making a modmod or mod though. I might take you up on that later this year when my work calms down a bit.

As always, happy civving!
