How to change govermeny type?

[gorinyatka]

Iron Age, red fist with change goverment notification, but where to select new goverment? I have peacfull changing from Tribal goverment improvment. Or I only have to spend 50 goverment points to change it?

The peaceful revolution is a culture option, you can choose it if you have enough culture points and can activate it, instead if building a town or one of the other options.
The option via government points is only the violent revolution, which does the same, but gives you chaos points, and thus one (or more) negative event(s) after some time.

Peaceful change costs culture points.
Violent change costs government points, but generates chaos.

Tbh chaos is nothing to be feared, culture points are far far more valuable than government points.

Always go violent change.

I did not even get Peaceful Revolution option even though I have reformed my Tribal government. I could only pick Violent Revolution. Extremely confusing.

I suspect this is all down to not getting further in than 60 turns. In the last run through I did earlier today, I made it into The Age of Iron, and was about 5 turns off getting a new government type available when I ran out of time.

You should get access to the option as soon as you reform the tribe.

But don´t forget, it is not a government action like the violent revolution, it is a culture option which you can only use if you have gathered the needed culture points to activate it. There it should be one of the actions that comes with government, in the same line as build new town.

I do not have that as a culture option, not violent reform either. What gives?

Have you completed the Tribal government tree?
Have you reached the necessary tech (Iron Age/Age of Blood/Age of Heroes) to unlock the 2nd tier of government types?

I got to that while in the tribal stage. It does not say on the tribal (reform) card that it needs to be in any Age, so... Maybe it should say that, if that is a prerequisite.
