This article explains how the governor decides how to allocate the new citizen when a city grows or when a citizen stops resisting, assuming manage moods is off. When a city shrinks, it culturally expands for the first time, or you click on the center tile, it will allocate the citizens from...

Attached is a picture of the order a barbarian will look for defenseless units/cities, similar to the governor's order in looking for the next tile to work and forest chops going to cities, with the addition of N-N, E-E, S-S, and W-W. Although this shouldn't matter since you shouldn't have your...

Improvements have a defense value of 16, which is modified by terrain and fortresses/barricades. I found a nice way to show these using the fact that a saved game saves the seed, so I'll mention it. I saved a debug game, bombarded a road on a plain, reloaded, bombarded a mountain, reloaded...

Generally, in the industrial age (this came to me in a variant where the goal is to make another specific civ win, which is why I haven't won yet) after railroads have been built all over, your workers have nothing to do other than clean pollution, plant and chop forests, and improve new tiles...

A registry to keep track of those who are to be absent and the times during which they are to be absent would be useful. I'll be out for Thanksgiving break until Sunday, November 26, 2006.

Furiey hasn't technically appointed me as governor of Augean Stables yet, but anyways I'll combine its thread (which would be pretty boring and unuseful) with the Expatriate Governor thread. Governor: me Deputy: Why do I feel the need to mention this position that basically is permanently...

I expect that by the end of the upcoming turnchat there will be 14 cities left (Ergili's on a one-tile island; we haven't discussed going to war with Rome to raze Byzantium), so our military will only be a drain on the economy. I would suggest disbanding them in Kyoto, Oxford, and Samarra to...

What cities do we want to capture on the other continent? Choose one option for each civilization. The discussion thread is here. The poll will officially close at the start of the turnchat on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT (I'll update my instructions about 15-20 minutes prior to that). There are...

We'll be ready to invade Japan soon, and there we'll have the opportunity to claim our Babylonian, English (by originality, although both are now Japanese), and Japanese cities. I don't see a way to show the attachments in another post so they're big enough to view, so look at this post for...

There's some network maintenance scheduled for tonight, so the turnchat is delayed until Saturday 2 PM CST.

There are three cities left to take; the English and Babylonian cities must be on their original continent, since they can no longer build cities. It would be possible to allow Japan to settle a city on our continent (i.e., open up the Great Wall of Fear, closing it if anyone else sends a...

The Augean Stables has had a long history within our civilization, being named and then horses brought to the stables. Yes, that was a pointless sentence, but I didn't feel like starting the post without this useless introduction. Governor: me Deputy: nobody (not Nobody), and it will probably...

Okay, I'll try to abstain from babbling useless information in this post. Except that I already have. Which implies that I really intended to do so to amuse myself. Here's the traditional pointless link to the term 6 thread. Governor: the person who wrote this post Deputy: there aren't...

Due to xyourxmomxcorex's lack of time, he has resigned and I have replaced him. I'll try to limit the amount of useless and redundant information in this post. Governor: who do you think? Deputy: I doubt anyone is going to apply. Since there's only one city, I'll actually put something useful...

Welcome to the thread for the sixth term for the governor of cities formerly belonging to other civilizations. (Why does the first post contain such obvious information? Nevertheless, I shall continue the tradition of stating useful information.) I don't know why you would want to look at this...
