Please vote in this council vote for governor, PD, and JA.

Congrats Immortal and Strider.

I am here to ask if you would post in the Budget request thread for the funds necessary to rush the Harbor in Dapperdan. I believe this would fall under your department as a Trade "improvement. Cost of the rush is 72g. Thank you.

EDIT - opps posted in the wrong thread. Delete this post...

Please cancel my request to rush the Harbor in Dapperdan. In the poll you set up for this, donsig has pointed out that by changing the workers, the harbor can be done quickly with a lot less gold spent. I should have seen that one. I will make the changes in my build queue.

The following is the science departments proposed queue. The one's with the * next to them means that we wish to get those VIA trade as soon as possible. The other's we wish to try to research to open up new trade possiblities.

Strider: we are not allowed to trade for technologies anymore, as there was some event which hurt our relations with other civs. My apologies, but I cannot do it.
