    Default Re: Revolutions?

    I have so far played either as an absolute (Maratha) or constitutional (GB) monarchy. I prefer constitutional monarchy. Research goes at a decent pace, I can get rid of bad ministers, and most importantly, industrialization does not cause clamour for reform.

    This last one allows me to upgrade all my territories to the max, with only a token garrison - if any.

    I'm not sure what additional benefits a republic brings that would make it worth to have unsackable ministers.

    Constitutional monarchy is a pain to get to from an absolute monarchy. You have to go via a republic and have another revolution -this time of the middle class.

    Allow a minimum 4 turns for each revolution, that's 8 turns where you are pretty much unable to do anything internationaly.

    plus, as I mentioned above, a republic has lower discontent and a +ve bonus to tech research.

    I wouldn't pull off the Absolute-republic-constitutional move untill you are safe and your empire is stable and pre-eminant, which is ironicaly when you probably least need a revolution...

    Shame though as constitutional clearly is the best of both worlds and most stable long & short term.

    Another reason why GB have an advantage...
