Tourism and Government

Posted: 07 Jun 2022 10:31 PM PDT

In the tourism information page, with each civilization, the player has some modifiers:

  • Trade Route
  • Enlightenment
  • Open borders

These reduce or enhance the tourism accumulated with that player each turn.

Then there is the Government modifier.

I read somewhere that each government has a proper negative modifier, that is summed with the opponent Government modifier, if the two are different.
I remember something like Fascism has a more negative modifier than Communism, which is more negative then Democracy, but all of the 3 are way more negative than the 3 Medieval-Renaissance one. Between those 3 there was an order, something like Theocracy < Monarchy < Merchant Republic).
So, in order to quicker get a cultural victory, one should preferably pick Republic and then Democracy, unless a lot of other player have the same governments, e.g. Fascism, in which case Fascism would be preferable.

Does this still hold?

In my game I'm Democracy, and I have Fascist at -40% (that's a lot!!) and with 2 players that are a Merchant Republic at -20%.
If I switch to Fascism, the -40% will surely disappear, but would the -20% (with two players!) grow?
According to what I know, yes, but the player that is Fascist is my friend, and allied, and told me: "don't worry, I have a -20% as well" (i.e. he, a fascist, with player in Merchant Republic has "only" -20% Tourism penalty)

What Government should I pick?

How does the Government Tourism modifier effectively work? Is my knowledge outdated?

How do I find diamonds?

The durability of iron tools is really starting to annoy me, but in all my hours of playing I've only stumbled across one deposit of diamond ore that provided around 7 Diamonds.

What's the best way to locate more in Survival mode? Where is it most commonly found?

Diamond ore
