Fundamentalism (government) (Civ2)

Fundamentalism is a type in Civilization II.
Fundamentalism is a form of government organized around a central set of beliefs. These beliefs, usually religious in nature, form a rigid guideline for the actions and reactions of both the ruler and the people. In a Fundamentalist society, the people and the rulers are entirely devoted to their beliefs, and are usually willing to die to preserve them.Transcribed directly from Civilopedia
==Game effects==
Fundamentalism eliminates all happiness problems and provides excellent revenue, although research tends to languish. Fundamentalist governments can construct the Fanatics unit.
===Unit Support===
* Each unit beyond the tenth unit costs one Shield per turn (except Fanatics, which never require maintenance).
* Settlers eat two Food per turn.Original civilopedia stated 1, but this is incorrect.
===Happiness===
*Under Fundamentalism, no citizen is ever unhappy!
===Corruption and Waste===
*Fundamentalism has a very low rate of corruption.
===Special===
* Under Fundamentalism, Tax/Luxury/Science rates cannot be set higher than 80%.
* Under Fundamentalism, all Science production is HALVED.
* Improvements that normally convert unhappy citizens to content citizens produce "tithes" (money) equivalent to the number of people they would normally convert, and require no maintenance.
* The diplomatic penalties for terrorist acts committed by Diplomats and Spies is reduced.
== Strategy ==
The large amount of gold you will receive is extremely useful for maintaining large armies as well as the 10 free units and the fanatic is a free, fast to produce military unit. Due to its science penalties, it is best to choose fundamentalism when you are prepared to win by conquest, or when you have researched most technologies already.
