TurnChat - 890AD - Sunday Oct, 24th: 1:00pm EDT (1700GMT)

790AD - Previous Turnchat

890AD - Gamesave

Osgiliath: samurai, samurai

Sto'vo'kor: cathedral, library

Windurst: marketplace, cathedral

Pete: harbor, cathedral
when the harbor finishes, switch the silks to the coast

Bentropolis: samurai, samurai

Kagemusha: catapult, worker, catapult

Grumpypuss: temple, harbor

Suggested worker actions:
mine a couple of hills near Osgiliath
mine grassland and chop jungle near Sto'vo'kor (please don't irrigate the desert, I would rather irrigate the flood plains and mine the desert)
mine grassland and chop jungle near Windurst
mine grassland and hills near Pete
mine hills and grassland near Bentropolis
connect Kagemusha and Grumpypuss by roads

New cities should start production on a courthouse, military unit, or temple, up to the DP's discretion (it doesn't really matter because it won't finish this turnchat anyways)

If Swazi flips, have it produce workers, with no specialists.

I would suggest moving military units around as MPs to control potential riots in Sto'vo'kor and Windurst before their current production completes

FA's Deputy's instructions

None at the moment but will be expanded if the FAs Leader does not post in time before the deadline

Demands
Refuse any demand from civs that pose no threat to us and/or in another contenent. If the Civ is demanding something and is bordering us and/or on the same contenent; Do not give up techs, maps, cities, and gold lower than 150g (Value of gold is yet to be decided upon the Leader and will change if he sees fit). If they declare war on us, please follow the procedure as followed in the below paragraph entitled "If war is declared on us".

If war is declared on us
If another civilization that is bordering us and/or on the same contenent declares war on us. Halt the chat imedeately.

No rushes this TC... stupid job making me stay for 12 hour shifts...

Buildqueues
Fanatikku Worker - Samurai - Settler - Samurai
Furuyama Aquaduct - granary
Immo Musket - Catapult - Musket - Musket
Zojoji Copernicus - Caravel - Caravel - Caravel

* Please mine the grassland S-SW of Fanatikku to get it off of the awful 17 uncorrupted spt. Just 1 more spt allows Samurai in 4 instead of 5 turns.
* When Zojoji has finished Copernicus or has grown, please have it on 20 uncorrupted spt. That means Caravels in 2.
* Please clear the jungle NW and N-NW of Fanatikku and mine + road those tiles. Fanatikku needs shields and not food.
* Please cut down the forest E-NE of Furuyama when it is building the aquaduct. If possible, road and irrigate that tile. (possible irrigation route is the desert South of that tile and the desert S-E of that tile.

The Caravels and the muskets are preparartions for the "foothold on the other continent". The settler of Fanatikku is for the great jump as well. And so are the Samurai.

Special DP right
If any of Zarnia's cities can be "smarter" micro-managed; the DP is free to do so, if (and only if) we are wasting food or shields.
