Republic in Always War doesn't work in any sort of normal situation. Once you get any amount of war weariness going, Republic economy crashes down to below Monarchy levels pretty quick. That's even worse in C3C with the doubled unit costs in Republic - you don't want to try to pay that upkeep on a stack of 20 trebuchets.

My famous Epic 14 game was a ludicrous special case. Republic only worked there because there wasn't any combat - I lacked contact with the other civs - from the middle ages onwards. Republic only works for Always War if you can avoid war weariness entirely. And the only way to do that is to wipe out any civs that have caused WW in the past and to own your continent. It is possible under those conditions, but unless you're planning a weird path of conquering your continent and then going for space (as I did in Epic 14), you're probably better off just sticking to good old Monarchy.

  Tourney Mission Statement:
Existing Civ III tournaments, contests and group events are universally plagued by elements or shortcomings that lead often to compartmentalized results. Spoilers and privileged info is readily made available while games are still in progress. The game itself remains in flux through a patching process. The scoring system measures only a few elements of the gameplay. We at Realms Beyond are not satisfied to settle for these conditions and compromises.

The Realms Beyond is home to gamers who go beyond the norm, who creatively add depth to good games to make them better, who choose to set our own added limits to gameplay for the purpose of increasing challenge, varying gameplay flavor, and getting more out of the games we love. We discard the usual standards and venture into realms beyond, where we share our passion for gaming with one another, and with those who are like-minded.

We develop and refine our tournament as we go, with the help of the players. Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game. Come and play. Share, compare, teach, and learn.
