Damaged Government?

[Team Sleep]

I've noticed sometimes that when cities of mine are rioting my government type icons may be damaged. Whether it be the pacification or the actual government type itself. In this case should I simply repair the damaged icons, or should I build them afresh?

Also, I know I'm supposed to destroy government icons when taking a new city. However what if I happen to conquer a city that shares the same culture as mine? Do I simply repair that type of government? Or do I have to tear that down as well and start a new one?

Also...when a government type is damaged during rioting...is this supposed to represent the people of the settlement acting out against the government structures, institutions and politicians?

There's no drawbacks to a damaged government building.

You can't actually repair de buildings, they'll just stay in the cue forever.

Nah, they're just randomly destroying stuff.

That's why sometimes they damage your open sewer. How the christ do you damage THAT?

Never reload a dave game from another campaign without first quitting and restarting EB, or you mess the script up and your governments get damaged.

Don't mean to be rude...but can you both rephrase your answers I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about. I didn't actually mean to say government building. I meant to say government type icon? Is this better understood?

[Turtle Hammer]

Do you mean the one that tells you what you can build? Alliances Available/Subjugation Available/Homeland? Or the Type I-IV buildings that represent the government type?

If buildings are damaged during a rebellion you just have to repair them, the script only fires if the city is captured.

What Mediolanicus said is that you can't load a save from a different faction without restarting EB, this will bug your game forever!

The government type buildings....If I come into a settlement that already has a government type that is compatible with my culture type...do I destroy it and build my own...or can I just repair their leftover government type?

You build your own of course... That simulates the take over (or in case of a type IV, the reinstatement) of the destroyed government.

The script can only damage buildings. If it were possible the government building would be destroyed. Now you have to do that.

In some cases I've noticed when my settlements are rioting my government type icon can be damaged. What do I do in this situation? Repair it? Or can I leave it be without any worries? Or do I have to start and rebuild it anew?

[Limskj]

I usually just repair them. Rioting cities randomly damage stuff.

[Mediolanicus]

Yeah, in case of damage by riots, you can just repair it.
