when client rulers die

You can knock down the level four government, rebuild it (first the military one that is a prerequisite) and get a new client ruler. You should only be out for two turns.

I treat those 2 turns as an unavoidable period of unrest while news of the client ruler's death reaches the powers that be, and until a new ruler is appointed, or more advanced government is put in place.

Also, perhaps it's a good time to exert some more authority during times like these, aka upgrade your government to a more centralized one. Then bring in one of your own.

Ok. Just wanted to know whether there was something wrong. This is just fine :)

I prefer lvl 4's to lvl 3's in the areas where I can have nothing else anyway - I like the concept of client rulers - I think of them as vassal kings, and it sorta confirms my claim of being the King of Kings, rather than merely King

(so in other words, I sacrifice authority and management for the sake of pompous glory)

That does sound like a proper Shahanshah...

As for the FOW problem, wouldn't using toggle_fow 0 solve this problem? You could turn the fog of war off just long enough to make the necessary adjustments in the city.

I think putting a watchtower close to the city will work around the bug.

Hey that's a GREAT idea

I've been using toggle_fow, but I don't like to know too much. Watchtowers will obviously minimize my need for toggle_fow

Well, one turn of it is eminently avoidable through use of process_cq. I tend to use it for the military pacification when I'm advancing through the government types by generation (ie 30 years).
