I could, but that's at least 90 turns away. I may as well take the time to build up the regional MIC as far as I can get it, so that I'll be able to recruit generals down the road. Plus, some pleasant thing I've lately discovered, instituting Type IV governments means I don't have to worry about "sacrificing" a family member to govern the city. For a pittance of 300 mnai, somebody does it for me (and, with the proper buildings in the city, that somebody can become quite competent).

Cheers.
