Southern Province Term 3 direction/goals

The following are the primary goals I have for running the southern province in term 3. At any particular time there will be more immediate needs, so this is intended to set the general direction.

1. Build culture to fight back against the Babs.
2. Expand Regent Town into the largest most productive town possible.
3. Prepare for eventual war against the Babs and Iroqs.
4. Get some decision on an acceptable name (both forum and WOTP).

What do the citizens think of these goals. Please discuss.

Thoughts on the status of the province:
a. Corruption is high in much of the province. The governor and assistents have no knowledge of why tax reciepts don't equal what should go to the national treasury.
b. we have little prime agricultural land in the province. This will mean that Regent Town is the only city that will attain any significant size for some time.

Thoughts on the management of the province:
This province could easily become a burden on the nation in terms of maintenence of improvements vs income. We will therefore limit the building of improvements to the absolute minimum. Following those improvements currently in the queues I will be considering future marketplaces for Regent Town and Epolenep.

According to the civilopedia, it's due to thieves, embezzlers, and criminals.

Anyways, back to the point, I guess those are good goals. I don't have any ideas for your provincial name (it took me long enough to come up with a name for my province)

I would suggest to clear Epo's forests and to irrigate land so it can grow to its maximum potential. Also it would be good idea to build Workers in Regent and join them that city at the coast, west of Epolenep (i think its Manchai). It can get +2 food in sea squares just send enough Workers there to speed up the growth until all sea squares are used. it could be good comercial center. Nihilon (ex Eridu) also has a lot potential, get some Workers there.

I agree with your points, MOTH. Let's get productivity up!
