BTW thanks Tim.

I'm looking for input on the name Kitakinu Province. It's based off the Japanese words for north and silk. If the website I found these translations from is wrong, or you think the name sounds stupid, or if you like the name, feel free to provide your input.

Kitakinu... I like it. :)

Kitakinu Province sounds great to me. :thumbsup:

[party] TimBentley finally named his province!

If you click on the edit button of the first post, can you change the title of the thread? Congrats!

For some reason Kitakinu doesn't roll off of the tongue right, I want to add a k in it and make it Kitankinku. Actually both don't roll off my tongue right. Why not just name the province TimBentleyville?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Kitankinku roughly translates to "modest swear word".

It only lets me change the title of the post, not the thread.

Actually, I'm pretty sure north is "Hok."

Actually, I'm pretty sure north is "Hok."
I found four Japanese words for north, and one for northern. Hoku was one of the words north was translated into by a English-to-Japanese dictionary, so close enough to Hok.

"Hok" isn't a word. However, if you want to tack it onto another word (make sure the kanji is the same on-reading (kun-reading is Japanese, on-reading is Chinese IIRC). For example, "Hokkaido". It has the "2nd k", which is actually a constinant extension in Japanese.

北 - "Hoku" - North
海 - "Kai" - Sea/Ocean
道 - "Dou" - path

Hokkaido = "Passage to the Northern Sea".

Hoku and Kai become "Hokkai". Reason? The "u" in "ku" is whispered. So, if you have "hok", you need a word begining with "ku".

(Notice that I was using the on-reading for the above three kanji readings. The kun readings would be: Kita, Umi, and Michi, respectively).

Here are the queues:

Osgiliath: cathedral, library, barracks

Sto'vo'kor: courthouse, market, harbor

Windurst: courthouse, aqueduct

Pete: courthouse, marketplace

Bentropolis: courthouse, barracks

mine grassland and chop jungle near Windurst
mine grassland and hills near Pete; make other cities higher priorities
mine hills and grassland near Bentropolis

New cities should start production on a courthouse, pikeman, or temple, up to the DP's discretion (it doesn't really matter because it won't finish this turnchat anyways)

If Swazi flips, have it produce workers, with no specialists.

Suggestions are, as always, welcome.

Are there any open mayorships in the province?

Since I'll be gone this weekend, blackheart will take command for the coming turnchat. Feel free to change the queues if you desire. Note that I'm trying to maximize production since we are in the golden age. I'm also slowing growth to avoid riots. Sto'vo'kor will need a garrison or a specialist to avoid a riot next turn. You may want to discuss it with the military minister.

Since I am at a lost to what is currently happening with the province (I have no access to Civ3 at this time), and since Governor TimBentley has left no indications of what to be built, I have decided to continue his ques.

Osgiliath: cathedral, library, barracks, pikeman

Sto'vo'kor: courthouse, market, harbor, pikeman

Windurst: courthouse, aqueduct, pikeman

Pete: courthouse, marketplace, pikeman

(If you can help me with what is currently being built in these cities and what is planned, please PM or tell me)

Oy Govenor Bently,

I would like to apply for mayorship of Osgiliath.

I'll give the the Deputy Governor stamp of approval Snipel, which is worth $5 at conventions! You'll probably get it once the governor is in.

Speeking of the govenor, where did he disapeared to :hmm:.

He's on leave and is due back Tuesday 12th, which is today. If he is not back intime for the next TC I will post turnchats and will officially appoint. those who have applied for mayorship.

The governor is back. CivGeneral is appointed mayor of Bentropolis, and snipelfritz is appointed mayor of Osgiliath.

I guess I should have PMed you, blackheart, but my suggestions were in the post above your posted queues here.

Osgiliath: barracks, university
switch forest to flood plain

Comment is welcome, as always. If anyone knows the date when Viroconium was founded, please tell me. The founding dates are all messed up in PTW.

A new mayorship is available in Viroconium (if you don't mind the desert). I would suggest looking for a different city for a mayor position first (such as Windurst).

Governor Bentley,

I have here submitted my request for Gubernatorial Endorcement of new Provincial Borders.

I am proceeding with my plan specified in Post 11 in the Term 3 Provincial Congress. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=2233598&postcount=11)

The Specific item I need your consent on is the new Northern Border of Kitakinu, and the Division of the "Northern Territories" Beyond into two Sectors (Parisian and Zulu). As you can see, at present we have no cities in these "Northern Sectors". This is merely to provide Territorial boundaries "in advance of Settlement" as requested by Article O.

I thank the Governor for his consideration.

Welcome back back Governor.

Provincial status and tentative queues have been updated. Note that Viroconium has been renamed to Kagemusha. Here are the queues:

Osgiliath: university, samurai

Input is welcome, as always.

Just a question, why is Sto'vo'kor producing a cathedral instead of a harbor now? I think it needs a harbor more than it does a cathedral.

I'm not sure how I missed that post. Sto'vo'kor's queue has been changed.

The governor is back. CivGeneral is appointed mayor of Bentropolis, and snipelfritz is appointed mayor of Osgiliath.

I guess I should have PMed you, blackheart, but my suggestions were in the post above your posted queues here.

I would suggest moving military units around as MPs to control potential riots in Sto'vo'kor and Windurst before their current production completes

Any input is welcome, as always.

As of now, This poll (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=102910) shows a great sentiment towards colonizing the other continent, and a middling sentiment in intervening in the Sino-German War if at all possible.

Therefore, I would like the Governor to consider possible contributions to any overseas plans, as this would be the TC in which we would "build" the "Expeditionary force".

The provincial status and tentative queues have been updated. Information on the date when Swazi was founded would be appreciated. Here are the queues:

Discussion about Swazi is here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=103081).

By the way, Provolution has been appointed mayor of Kagemusha.

TimBentley, thank you sir, we are already making a statue of Tim Bentley within the Kagemusha Casino :) and we have a spare luxury suite for you and your entourage Tim Bentley :)

One day a rowdy band of Japanatican frontiersmen rode into Bentropolis, all dirty and covered in sand from the ride through the desert. In front of these weatherworn, suntanned riders, Provolution and Mhcarver came along, drinking the last drops fromt heir waterbags. Provolution dismounted...

"Governor Tim Bentley of Bentropolis, we have issues with the access to food from our desolate land we inherited from the Romans. Well being the Muad Dib of the Fremen in Kagemusha is not an easy task, there is no natural resources, not even spice. So we have one minor request, which we consider fair. We want the City of Pete to cede away the foodplain by the river to Kagemusha, so Kagemusha can grow. We also want
an irrigation plan as specified in our land development plan, and then some mines, roads and a couple of fortresses."

"We also do have a request for building city improvements in Kagemusha, we need a barrack and city walls, courthouse and a marketplace."

"We will ride back when time comes in order to make more requests, Sir Governor"

I have considered your request and will start implementing it. I will ask for irrigation near Kagemusha and start construction on a courthouse. Meanwhile the income from the city will be doubled (whether it will go to science or taxes, I do not know). Kagemusha is too corrupt to make use of the flood plain at the moment; I will reconsider for the next turnchat.

WE soulg also request a rush buy for a courthouse, since the economic losses per turn are so vast I cannot even think up the numbers. 2 out of 3 shields are wasted.

The provincial status and tentative queues have been updated. Here are the queues:

Osgiliath: worker, cavalry
when the worker finishes, MM for maximum shields
try to acheive WLTQD by using a specialist

Sto'vo'kor: library, worker, university
switch two coasts to grassland by river
try to MM for maximum shields

Windurst: library, cathedral

Pete: cathedral, library
switch desert to coast
when Pete reaches size 12, switch flood plain to another tile (probably grassland)

Bentropolis: cavalry, cavalry

Kagemusha: courthouse
use the flood plain once Pete doesn't need it

Grumpypuss: harbor, courthouse

Swazi: wealth
keep it growing so it will reach size 3
if the Zulu laborer assimilates, produce workers

Suggested worker actions:
mine desert, grassland, and hill near Osgiliath
mine grassland and chop jungle near Sto'vo'kor (please don't irrigate the desert, I would rather irrigate the flood plains and mine the desert)
mine grassland and chop jungle near Windurst

Governor Tim Bentley

I have an urgent need for Courthouse in Kagemusha, and will ask for a rush buy for court house as soon as possible, in order to bolster our French border. This should be rushed when Kagemusha reaches three citizens in two turns. Secondary I want to build a barracks for our Northern Military Headquarter, where I am going to disband 2 warriors, a swordsman and a horseman next turnchat. After the barracks we should line up some city walls, as this is a border town.

Mayor of Kagemusha Provolution

PS, Make a Kitakinu Term IV Thread

I don't think Kagemusha will be very productive. We should focus our gold on temples for the SOUTHERN cities just so they don't flip.

Well, this has been a good term. I'll pass off the governorship to my successor, TimBentley. I'm sure he'll do as well as I have done this term.

Thank you, TimBentley. You have done a good job this term. I hope that I can do as well as you have done or better in the upcoming term.

Skitzo...!

Chieftess, which sometimes have great ideas, is wrong here in my opinion.
We need to bolster our French border which now has paper thin border cities and a lack of both military personnel and infrastructure. Given Chieftess interest in being a Governor in the South, I understand her. But as the MSAV minister, I see a larger challenge in the North. we need garrison cities that has substantial production and military infrastructure.
Thanks to being in the middle of the desert, this will never be a wonder city, but is a needed garrison city on a more challenging border. Iroqouis is now gone, but the North
is still neglected. All we need is the courthouse and some basic infrastructure, and then Kagemusha cover its needs. Grumpypuss would be the next city to be developed on the French border. Do not let Southern local patriot interests obstruct national security concerns. We need that Northern border strong.
