Choosing a democracy instead, allows your cities to concentrate more on commerce and production and less on war. In fact, your citizens will want to avoid war as much as possible. Since I knew this would happen, I avoided this choice. I wanted to annihilate my opponent as soon as possible and did not want any uprisings. Another key element of the game is the development of advances.
Advances are the inventions that make our civilizations move ahead.
The first advances range from the development of the wheel to pottery or the alphabet. Naturally, each advance allows a new advance to be discovered. The invention of the wheel allowed the chariot to be invented and so on. Ultimately, the player has to invent the necessary components to build the rocket ship to get off the planet. This is an incredibly difficult challenge.
