Congratulations to our new Cultural Minister. It is good to see you take the Office. With Roten as your mascot, I'm sure you'll keep a good eye on our Cultural development.

P.S. Congrats on the 1000 PC mark.

Please include a link to the Term 4 thread in the first post of this Term 5 thread.

Plexus
Congrats on your "election". :) I look forward to a productive term working with you.

I'd like you to set some quantifiable goals for this term and post them in the opening post so that we can evaluate our progress as the term progresses.

For example... How many Culture points per turn should we be producing by the end of the term? What percentage of our cities should have cultural buildings inside? Which cities should become Cultural Centers? ...and so on...

I appreciate your attention to this matter.

A council vote to approve many new governors and a Judge Advocate is underway. Plexus, please cast you vote here. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40794)

attention governor/department leader.

If you need something rushed, or upgraded please post so in the budget thread located here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40496) . Check to see how much it costs then post the amount and the reason it needs to be rushed, or upgraded.

Thanks

I just completed a tally of our culture for the Culture Department...

I'm happy to say we're now in the top 5 for total culture at #5! [dance]:jump:[dance]

The ratios are as follows: (I used the good old fashion "line" method in PSP - Apollo is too much of a cheat now)

England: 52:18 (Almost 3:1 culture)
Zulus: 52:18 (Almost 3:1 culture)

China: 52:25 (2:1)
Persia: 52:24 (About 2:1)

Rome: 52:31 (About 5:3 culture)
India 52:36 (Almost 4:3 culture)
France: 52:38 (Almost 4:3 culture)
Russia: 52:43 (Close to 1:1)

Iroquois 52:54 (Just about 1:1)
America: 52:62 (Close to 1:1

Babylon 52:118 (Almost 1:2) (note: Babylon's culture hasn't changed much, and actually DROPPED due to Persia and Zulus), however, many of their improvements are most likely nearing the 1,000 year mark. While we're making great gains against Babylon - We were 1:3 - they will pick up again).

Greece: 52:84 (About 2:3)

I'd really like to see more culture rushes around Kagoshima.

Wow! Thanks CT! I was dreading doing this :)

I'm not sure weather to suggest a rush or not:

Cathedral: 15
University: 9

An informational poll on the viability of rushing a university in Kagoshima has been posted.

Plexus, in my never-ending search for a job, I noticed the culture department needs a deputy. Is the position still open?

Yup, you just made the cut. I am posting the poll tonight.

Here's the poll to determine my Deputy: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41271

Plexus,

Please look over and respond to my plan for our military response to India's agression. It needs some ironing out so please join the discussion.

I just completed a tally of our culture for the Culture Department...

I'm happy to say we're now #4 in culture! [dance]:love:[dance]

The ratios are as follows: (I used the good old fashion "line" method in PSP - Apollo is too much of a cheat now)

Zulus: 57:16 (Abuot 3:1 culture - 7:2)
England: 57:17 (About3:1 culture)
Persia: 57:22 (About 5:2 culture)

China: 57:28 (about 2:1 culture)
Rome: 57:28 (About 2:1 culture)

India 57:37 (Almost 4:3 culture)
France: 57:37 (Almost 4:3 culture)
Russia: 57:41 (About 4:3 culture)
Iroquois 57:55 (Just about 1:1)

America: 57:63 (Close to 1:1)

Greece: 57:87 (About 2:3)
Babylon 57:115 (Almost 1:2) (note: Babylon's culture is starting to stall! We still have to watch for 1,000 year old improvements though. A Russian city close to the Russia capital has flipped to Babylon.


China and India have increased their culture, but we remain steady. Amercia and the Iroquois have increased their culture slightly, but we are also holding steady, and have now surprassed the Iroquois! Greece is also gaining, but we are making stronger gains in our culture rating. With the addition of a new wonder (Our capital has almost no ancient improvements... which could have helped) our capital will expand its' borders in 8 turns.

Our previous spread was an even 2:2:4:2:2. It's now 3:2:4:1:2. We are making great strides culturally!

Aye, we are making great strides. Too bad that I have nearly nothing to do with these figures as of now. After the war though... watch out for me!

Thank you, CT! :love:

Anything you need your deputy (me) to help with Plexus?

Hmm... could you make a list of cities that may flip?

I'm on it. I hope to have it by tonight, tomorrow night at the latest and definitely before the next t/c.

Cool, thanks. :)

Comments: I think since the same city (Izibia, Bab.) is causing the problem with the top three cities on green, it is safe to say that one at a time will probably flip.

Hmmm... why don't you think the culture within the cities wouldn't prevent the flip? (I'm not disagreeing with you, I just want to know why you think they are justified in being on the list. Also, what about Lahore and Fukushima, you don't think that they belong on the CFWS?)

-plexus

I know there is some culture that could prevent the flip, but you must also take into account the other civ's national culture and the flipping cities culture. As for Lahore and Fukushiuma, that was a mistake on my part, I forgot to add them.

As there may be a turn chat early in the term (ie. Saturday or Sunday), I would like to suggest that the current officials carry out their responsibilities in preparation for that potential turn chat.

We need an assessment of the cultural threat from Babylon. Before we attempt to take any additional Babylonian cities (if we are going to at all), we should evaluate the threats to our current positions first. Also, please examine the potential threat (or lack thereof) of same from India. Should we eliminate them entirely or let them survive in their lone jungle city?

Thank you for your attention to this matter and your service this term.

Code of Standards change needs sponsor!

Please see this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?postid=740170#post740170) if you are willing to sponsor the COS change to allow guilty pleas.

I request - no, beg culture to support rushing libraries in the newly captured Indian cities, especially their former core, and cities near the Iroquois. Please post your instructions in the Turn Chat Instructions thread.
