Welcome to the Esquiline Province thread. As deputy governer I shall be in control of this province until Rik return in aproximatly 2 weeks.

Until then I would like any mayors to report in, and could someone inform me of the cities in this province?

Hello Deputy. Mayor of Klixus Major here. As far as my city's build queue goes, I don't know how far it's gone (I need screenshots cuz' I have a mac). Here goes: Library, Courthouse, temple, harbor.

Hi Bacon. I am mayor of Skunkworks but haven't been that active in that role. I will try to remember to post a build queue suggestion shortly.

OK, 2 mayors have reported in thus far.

I still need to know what cities are in this province though.

Just check the old term 3 Esq. Provence thread. The most current screenies that Pik took are on the second page.

Added city list, and I am now looking in save because IIRC sites A and C were renamed.

edit: done, now looking in old province thread to see the mayors of the cities, and making build ques.

Deputy Governor Bacon King,

Please join in on the following discussion:

Size 12 Plan (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60932)

Bacon King has PM'd me that I am also mayor of Tyvek. How did I become mayor of that city? I don't remember applying for the mayorship.

Eyrei appointed you the position near the end of term 2. (may be term 3, im not sure)

Hi I'm the mayor of coneland.
Can someone email me the latest save not ziped to me at
pat97531@msn.com. The winzip is not working

third mayor reported in, I am looking back in the Term 3 and 2 threads to get a complete mayor list.

I would like all Governors to view the following thread and show their support for it.

Military Plee (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61159)

I doubt that our provience can do much to help the Military Plea. We are rather far from either of the palaces and our outermost cities are deep in the grip of corruption. It is this mayor's stance that this provence needs to follow the 12 size city plan first, and the Military Plea second; not counting any cities that can really crank out the knights faster than the other cities of the provence.

If you noticed on the latest build ques i built a cavalry (or knights, i forget which one we have now) in a few cities before beginning worker production for the size 12 plan

i didn't check, but that sounds good. What are you planning on doing for the size 12 plan?

Deputy Bacon king.
I have returned to claim my rightful Governor's throne. But since you are doing such a good job I'll allow you to stay acting Governor till the next turnchat, Wed, August 13, 7:30 pm EDT ( 00:30 GMT ).

From the Jade Haouse

I urge the govenor to parisipate in this discussion regarding the placement for the wonder.

Thanks,

Welcome back, Rik. All of Esquiline has looked forward to you're return.

@Deputy Bacon King. Although Esquiline is yours till after the TC, I couldn't help noticing some awkward parts of Esquiline province. I hope I am in time to correct those.

I strongly suggest you change them in time for the TC.

Babs Landing. Put laborer from forest to mined grassland. It will gain us 1 food.
Also change build queue to Aquaduct - harbor. There is no need for a marketplace if all money is lost to corruption anyway.

Wandering gnome hills. Remove the knight from the buildqueue and include a granary; Aquaduct - granary - worker - etc.

North shore. Change the library to a harbor. Then build an Aquaduct. No need for lib right now.

Palatine. It's current BQ is marketplace - worker - worker. Change it to Marketplace - harbor - we'll after that.

Klixus Major. Move the laborer from the roaded grassland S -> SE of the city center to the sea. Gains us 1 more commerce and 2 more research.
Change the BQ to University - Granary_or_marketplace (cosult with the Mayor).

Go Home Xerxes. 1 turn change. move the laborer from the roaded forest to the sea. We have enough shields and we can use the 1 extra commerce for 2 extra research.
Change the BQ to aquaduct - harbor. No need for knights from Esquiline.

Persian Landing. Why build a library now ? It needs a harbor. When it has a harbor it can build whatever it likes (probably workers).

Skunkworks. It builds knights, but has no barracks. I guess this is a special request from the military. If it isn't, please stop the knights and build granary and aftar that either workers or culture (university).

due to RL, I'm unable to change build ques. If you don't change build ques, rik, I will be able to put what you said herein the instruction thread, and keep everything else as the same.

Post them in the instructions thread.

For the next turnchat Sunday, August 17, 2:00 pm EDT ( 18:00 GMT ) I've made a proposal for buildqueues. Feel free to comment on them or to discuss them. I will file a request to Domestiv and the budget to cashrush Babs Landing's aquaduct, North Shore's aquaduct and Wondering Gnome Hills' aquaduct.

This is how our cities are doing.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/State_of_the_cities_1320_AD.JPG

Please note that Aqualondë and Skunkworks are going to be in disorder next turn. I urge the Mayors of those cities (Noldodan and Bootstoots) to come up with an anser to this.

To complete the report; this is what all Esquiline cities have for city-improvements:

Governor of Esquiline

It looks good to me.

Hmmm, hmmm… I see that the province of Esquiline, loyal to the Fanatican Empire, have come to found a city by the name of Aqualondë, as shown below (the accent bug is a traditionnal bug when going from a keyboard environment to another, mine being CSA).
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/fc_city_errata.jpg
I'd like the authorities of Esqiline to consider that the right spelling for the word (if it's meant to be swan haven as it was ought to be) is Alqualondë (i don't know why Noldodan hasn't spoted this already).

Only in the hope of improving the province's quality.

I'm very glad there are several citizens who help us guide Esquiline and Fanatica to glory and have enough eye for detail to spot these things. Although I am not near a Civ PC I am fairly sure in my saves the city of Aqualondë is presented as it should be. Of course I will check this.

If this is true than I can also understand why Noldodan; Aqualondë's name-giver hasn't spotted this.

I am not sure how we can solve this in a correct way or even whether we have to solve this. The city is named Aqualondë and I don't think changing this name is the way to go. Especially when it's your PC or a bug in the software which is responsible for a namechange in some PC's. OTOH, the chosen name of the city is victim to these changes so perhaps the name is not chosen wisely.

I would like Noldodan's opinion on this as well.

Rik Meleet
Governor of Esquiline Province

From the Jade House
Govenor Bacon,

As President I would like to see the Capitoline Provance place in efforts to start building military units. We are preparing for war against the Egyptians and I would like to see this provance start to build Military units for the War effort.

I'm not Governer any more CG.... but anyway, a few military units in the ques won't hurt much, knights could make it from the eastern cities to the Egyptian Front in time for war.

First, if you go to the citizen registry, you'll see that Alqualondë was my choice for a coastal city.

Secondly, the problem of the current name is not the accent on the last "e", but the "l" that is missing just between "a" and "q".

Third, if you want Noldo's advice, it would be easier if someone PM him.

If this message may seem a bit crude, it is only due to my writing style, and is in no case intended.

This is the state of the province 1365 AD:

These improvements are currently in the city:

And these are the buildqueues: Feel free to advise to fill in the ? -marks. Remember that Esquiline is asked to support the war effort by building some Cavalry. Also remember that the Great Fanatican Railroad needs to be build so we need workers as well.

If I understand correctly Alqualondë was Fier's naming? In that case I'll ask the President to change it.

Governor of Esquiline province

From the desk of the Mayor of Klixus- Major

Given the recent events of war, I request that my city shift production to War. I wish for the Governer to decide if the Cavalry being built here should be switched to a barracks.

Build Queue:
Cavalry
Barracks
Musket
Musket

Projected Queue
Cathedral
University
Bank

This is the new Proposal. http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Building.JPG

Vander: Since we are only 2 turns away from barracks in Klixus-Major and veteran Cavs are a lot stronger then regular I decide to build barracks before cavs.

If anyone wants to change something in the BQ, you have 45 minutes.

Rik

The war is nearly over. Peri has requested to remove the war-buildings and the Military units from our Buildqueues. I tend to agree.

I'd like all the mayors to create buildqueues without these.

Thank you.

Rik Meleet
Governor of Esquiline

Suggestions for Alqualondë: Queue: Marketplace, Library, Bank. And, do mine the Mountain if you get a chance.

This is where our laborers are going to be.

I will ask the president to mine all tiles we do not need for food. We need production.

I also need buildqueues; thanks Noldodan.

Rik

From the Desk of the Mayor of Klixus- Major

I'm pleased that the war is over and we can now get on with normal production within our provence. The laborer setup looks fine to me (They are were they can be.)
Build Queue: University, Bank, Cathedral

Vander, Mayor.

Hi Rik. I have sent the following post to the Domestic Office in response to your request for Aqueduct cash rushes. I will take a closer look at the cities in question but it seems to me that if we can optimize these cities now, we can hold off on the Aqueducts and address our need for workers without spending the cash. Please see if this makes sense.

If these cities are to be worker factories and will be constantly negating growth, then why should we bother with Aqueducts?

These cities have sufficient food to become worker factories immediately, as the extra workers will ensure that they don't grow beyond Size 6 anyway. If anything should be rushed in these cities, it should be a Granary. In due time we can consider an Aqueduct after we have a more sizable workforce.

Please reconsider your position here, Dave. Or at least table it until next term. ;) :D
