Previous Chat Thread

This will be an online session. Ravensfire will be the DP for this session.

Summary

We are fully into preperation for the Modern Age! Our treasury is flush with cash, ready for Govenors to use on approved cash rushes (remember to post ALL requests in the budget office thread!). Our workers are making vast improvements in the land of Fanatica, resulting in improved food and shield production. Our scientists continue to lead the way for research, giving us technologies to trade to other nations.

Please reserve this thread for instruction posts by Department Leaders. This is not a discussion thread.

-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatica

I believe I was pretty straightforward on my post in each Provincial thread. Just in case, I'm going to be even more blunt.

Governors, we have a large cash surplus right now. Please review your cities and look for cash-rush opportunities. This includes looking into the future. Please post these requests in the budget thread for approval by the Domestic Minister.

Only those rushes approved in the budget thread will be carried out. I will not be dealing with rush requests during the turn chat any more.

If you any concerns about this, please post them in the Presidential thread.

-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatica

Slider: 70% science, 0% lux, 30% tax. Reduce slider 1 turn before researching each new tech to maximize tax.

The DP is allowed to decide by spot vote or by himself to switch to 10% lux (max) in case unhappyness is increasing. Use the freed up Clowns / Elvises to work the lands. Science should not suffer because of lux increase.

Try to set the slider to get each new tech in 4 turns, but do not run a negative tax.

Off-line stuff has started.

DO NOT EDIT OR ADD NEW INSTRUCTIONS WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW IN IRC!

WAR!

Game Save
Chat Log

In a desperate attempt to slow down the progress of Fanatica, Germany treacherously declared war against us and attacked one of our cities.

The attacking Horseman was destroyed.



Germany has a total of 2 Swordsmand and an Archer near Noshuret. They also have an Ironclad and Caravel near Dinas. Japan, who is still at peace with us, landed a Warrior and a Samurai north of Wandering Gnome Hills. Their intentions are unknown, but presumed hostile.

In other news, the influx of cash into our building program has given us immediate results. Some national work crews have also been released back to the cities, resulting in Iron Hills, among others, growing dramatically! We still have a large cash surplus, ready for use by the Governors.

We have also discovered Motorized Transportation, giving us a new Military Unit: Tank. These motorized cavalry units can pulverize all troops before them, bringing a new age to military combat! We are now researching Radio.

All signs point to a quick war with Germany, we just need to decide how to approach it.

-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatica

NOTE: The Ravensfire Souvenier Shop is now open! For sale are authentic German swords (never used, dropped once) and Authentic German military tunics with only 1 hole in the back!
