Senate Slider instructions for 1300 BC

The DP should set the slider to the minimum percentage that delivers Currency at the earliest possible turn. The Senate supports a setting of 10% Luxury if it is absolutely necessary to maintain happiness in one or more of the nation's cities. The Senate also requires an increase in the taxation allocation to keep net income above -15 gpt

Edit: clarification of italics above:
The net income of fanatica should not be allowed to fall below -15 gpt (i.e. more than 15 gp lost per turn).

Nothing this time around. The Wheel is still too expensive to buy.

Summary to follow.

Here is the summary of the third turn chat of Term 2, held on Feb 10. The major events of this chat were:

Huntington was founded on the coast, next to the Dyes SW of Deux Rivières
Barbarians defeated a Spear in Vandelay and a Warrior in Montpellier. The net result was a loss of population in Vandelay (size 3 to 2) and a loss of 51 gold in Montpellier.
We established embassies with India, Russia, and Babylon. Screenshots of their capitols are available in the Foreign Ministry.
We recieved the Wheel technology from a goody hut. We have Horses 2 tiles NE of Deux Rivières
We dispersed a barbarian camp southwest of Groton, netting 25 gold. We went looking for the barb camp that has been harassing Vandelay, but have not found it.
A road that will hook up Dyes will be done in less than 4 turns.
It appears this chat lasted 11 turns because I made a mistake in my recordkeeping and recorded Turn 6 twice, thus playing an extra turn. I left the turn numbers the same as I reported them in the chat. So there are 2 Turn 6s below.
