My plans are as follows.
1. Generate cheap units to be used for exploritory and senturies to exstend our POV to minimize any barbarian settelment. (No preferance on ranking)
2. Persuade the Scientific department to make a "B-line" for Bronze Working and Iron Working to obtain spearmen and swordsmen (and also to gain access to iron resources).
3. Ensure that settlers will have an escourt so that they do not fall prey to the barbarians.
4. Defensive units, I do wish to see Vet spearmen to be produced, since the governor(s) have espressed disintrest in building barracks, I would have to persuade them to build them for the porpouse of poping out vet units now and in the future.
5. I plan during the Iron age to build vet warriors in an city that is void of any iron connection and upgrade him in a city with access to both barracks and iron. This plan however is still in the works since we do need Iron and our region fully explored.
Your governor respondin to some points:
2. We are Commercial and Seafaring. We start with Alphabet and Pottery. This means we are the closest we can be to both Writing, Philosophy, and Map Making, some very important techs based upon our traits. Even though you are not the science (or equivalent department, I'm still learning the names), don't you think it makes more sense to use our traits to our abilities?
4. Barracks early in the game in the expansion phase when there is lots of room can take up precious shields. For 20 shields more, we can build a granary to speed growth for the expansion, and THEN we can focus on military. In my games, I don't not like to take the military path until the expansion phase has been completed, and there is almost no land left. Also, since we don't really face any threat in the beginning of the game (regular warriors and spears should be able to take care of barbarians), barracks aren't high on my priority as governor.
5. This is ok, but in C3C, upgrades take 60 gold per warrior. That's a lot! If you factor in losing money to AI demands, as well as using money in trades, I doubt we will ever have much gold in the ancient age, and there are better ways to spend it (trades, hurrying if we are a Republic) rather than upgrading, unless we NEED war.
Overall though, I'm looking forward to a good term.
. The way it works is that you nominate yourself or someone nominates you, then you go through the polls and vote for other people. More information is found in the election office.
