New decisions

[GarwelGarwel]

Make decisions mostly beneficial (their tradeoffs reduced), at least for a specific playstyle.

There should be at least two such trees or lists: one for the democratic route (focused on pawn happiness, skill development, egalitarianism) and one for the authoritarian route (focused on warfare, preventing breakdowns, hierarchy). Overall, authoritarian route gives more short-term bonuses but is prone to spiraling breakdowns if something goes wrong; democratic route is for more gradual and flexible development.

Democratic decisions' requirements/factors:

• [ ] High mean mood
• [ ] High loyalty
• [ ] High opinion of the leader (?)
• [ ] Rare drafting
• [ ] (Frequent) changes of leadership
• [ ] Lack of slaves and executions
• [ ] Lack of mental breakdowns
• [ ] Positive relations with other factions

Democratic decisions' effects:

• [ ] Faster Governance buildup
• [ ] Slower Governance decay
• [ ] More experience points
• [ ] Higher focus skill effects
• [ ] More inspirations
• [ ] Happy thoughts
• [ ] Positive opinions of other citizens
• [ ] Better trade prices
• [ ] Lower penalties for leadership change
• [ ] Increase (or reduced decrease) of Loyalty
• [ ] Rebellions are rarer
• [ ] Violent breakdowns are rarer

Democratic tradeoffs:

• [ ] Higher mood & loyalty debuffs if requirements not met
• [ ] Resistance to long ruler terms
• [ ] More decisions require majority support
• [ ] Battle-related debuffs for offensive battles (on enemies' maps)

Authoritarian decisions' requirements/factors:

• [ ] High leader's mood
• [ ] High Governance level
• [ ] Stable leadership (rare changes)
• [ ] Lack of protests
• [ ] Enslaving, imprisoning and executing pawns
• [ ] Won battles
• [ ] Killed/captured/enslaved pawns

Authoritarian decisions' effects:

• [x] Fewer (if any) decisions require majority approval
• [ ] Faster Governance buildup
• [ ] Increase of Loyalty (?)
• [ ] Lower mental break thresholds (i.e. fewer mental breaks)
• [ ] Wound healing and/or immunity buff
• [ ] Higher pain threshold
• [ ] Temporary work speed boost

Authoritarian tradeoffs:

• [ ] Big breakdowns of Governance, leader's mood and citizens' loyalty if requirements not met (there are protests, leader changes etc.)
• [ ] Random breakdowns in relations with other factions
• [ ] Can't impeach leader or shorten their term
• [ ] More polarization (in terms of loyalty and opinion of the leader)
• [ ] Leadership change more dangerous

First choice for the player: Form of Government. All the other reforms require this one to be made first.

• [x] Autocracy: decisions require approval of the leader (and the leader only)
• [x] Direct democracy: decisions require approval of the majority (leader plays to special role)
• [x] Anarchy: no decision-making procedure or it requires unanimity (initial form)

In the future, may also add:

• [ ] Representative democracy: decisions are approved by the Council
• [ ] Republic: Decisions are approved by the leader and the majority (should give some buffs compared to both autocracy and direct democracy)

Unlike other decisions, this one has no approval requirements (obviously). But there should be other restrictions, e.g. a Governance cost, a cooldown or some temporary debuffs. Changes between forms of government are normally only possible via Anarchy. When switching to Anarchy, all the previous reforms will probably be undone.

Choices:

• [ ] citizens' happiness vs leader's happiness
• [ ] slow Governance decay vs fast Governance buildup
• [ ] more XP gain & more inspirations vs lower mental break thresholds & higher pain thresholds
• [ ] rebellions & violent breakdowns happen rarer vs wounds heal & immunity gained faster
