	Government Special Condition Suffering from ads?

I simply don't understand something in the manual: "You can draft x units from citizenry/city to create infantry units." What does that mean? What infantry units do I get? How can I do this?

Thanks for explanation, Wernazuma

Is it really that difficult to open up the civilopedia?

Oh well, I've nothing better to do so I might aswell answer you. As the civilopedia states, you are given the ability to draft infantry when you discover nationalism. Drafting will give you an infantry unit (ie. spearman, rifleman, mech inf. ect...) at the conscript experience level (2 hit points) and reduce the population by 1 point. This can only be done in cities with a population of 7 or higher, and you are limited to drafting a maximum of 2 units from a city per turn.

It depends on the government. I think that with Democracy you can only draft 1 unit per turn.

Communism lets you draft 4...(or is it three? I think it's four)

That's some serious drafting!

It does? Cool... didn't realize it was that high.

Even so, though, how many cities do you have where you can afford to loose four pop points in one turn... unless I misread...

Well, if a city was in serrious danger of being lost, I for one would be drafting as many units as possible in that city and nearby cities every turn untill the threat was removed.

Drafting limits from the manual, pages 126-130.
Anarchy- no production except food
Despotism- 2 units of per city, normally causes resentment
Monarchy- 2 units per city per turn, normally causes resentment
Republic- 1 unit per city per turn, still causes resentment
Communism- 2 units per city per turn, causes resentment
Democracy- 1 unit per city, causes quite a bit of resentment

Note: As stated in above posts, each unit drafted reduces the population by 1. Drafted units also have lower hit points then regularly built units.

thanks!

If anyone's been wondering where all these "conscript" units are comming from, in theory this is it. BUT I've seen them well before anyone's developed nationalism, so... they must also be creatable other ways.

Yeah, it states in the manual that all barbarians and all units from goody huts are conscripts. Unless they gain combat experience, of course.

Well, the hut warriors are on conscript level too.

2 units per city? Does that mean that if you had 10 cities you could theoretically draft 20 conscript units in a turn?

Ouch.

Theoretically, but you'd also loose twenty pop points in a turn, so unless your civ was about to be totally destroyed, it's really a bigger ouch to do it...
