Mr President

I wish to request some workers to improve around The Augean Stables. This city is currently size six, working 2 unimproved tiles and only making +1 food per turn. The tasks I wish them to perform initially is to irrigate the uniproved plains sugar, and mine the gold hill. This will enable the city to grow more quickly to size 7 (increasing our unit support) and increase spt and gpt. So far I have assumed in my plans that these workers will become available after they finish roading and mining the hill by Olympus that they are currently on (they're there so they might as well finish). Will you please inform me whether or not these workers will be available so that I can adjust my plans to suit.

Thank You

Governor Furiey
 
It is my great privledge to introduce my Vic-President - Donovan Zoi.

The architect of our success last term, he and I will work from that base to turn Fanatikos into the superpower we are destined to become!

Vice-President Donovan Zoi will be more than a passive, rarely used Deputy. He will be actively helping me manage certain issues. I have asked him to coordinate the efforts of our workers. I ask the Governors to direct their questions towards him.

Thanks, DZ!

-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos
 
I repeat my request then to the Vice President. Any chance of a Worker? If so when?

Augean Stables will not grow for another 20 turns and then growth will stop without improvement. As this growth is so slow I do not want to lose any population, however I have come up with a plan to produce a Worker immediately and join it back to the city later on when the city has passed size 7 and would take even longer to grow. In the meantime I would use this worker (and preferably another if I could have one) to improve the city and increase growth, commerce and shields. If I produce this Worker would I be able to keep it and join it back when I wished?

Governor Furiey,

I've requested that Vice-President Donovan Zoi present his plan for the workforce as soon as possible so that you and the other Governors may review and comment upon it. I hope that it will be up sometime tonight.

Mr. President, Ravensfire,

I would like to ask for the funds necessary for our Embassy to conduct an Investigation of Berlin. It is critical that we know what forces are currently residing in Germany as I have to decide on whether or not to include an extra two Swordsman in my attack plan, leaving us undefended for a whil ebut making it possible to capture Berlin. I;'d prefer nto to use the extra tweo Swords as we'll be compltley exposed and open to any attack at all with only a static defense to help us. Therefore makiing this Investigation all the more important.

Minister Ranger99,

Please direct your request to Minister greekguy. The Department of Foreign Affairs controls the actions of all Fanatikos spies.

Presidential Instructions for 150 BC

Workers
The Southwest worker between Styx and Priapos is assigned to Styx.

Once the stack of 6 workers completes the mine, 2 workers are assigned to Augean Stables, and the remaining 4 are assigned to Olympus under the provision that up to 3 may be merged into Olympus.

Slider
The slider is to remain at 0% science, and the lowest practical luxury rate. This rate should ensure that 4 of our cities remain in good order without the use of entertainers.

Budget Priorities - ensure these happen first, or that money is available for them
-- Styx's request for Granary rush (approx 168 gold)
-- Investigation of Berlin at the end of the turn chat (approx 26 gold)- DON'T FORGET THIS Please take a screenshot of the investigation
-- All other requests may be performed so long as funds are available for these two items.

Game Stop conditions - please halt the chat should any of the following occur
-- Should only one city riot, and the Governor not issue instructions allowing entertainers
-- Should barbarians threaten unescorted workers
-- Should any nation declare war upon us

Thanks,
-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos
 
Mr. President what are our long term strategies for Term III?
 
Vice-President Donovan Zoi,

We've got a fair number of workers, and Olympus is at a pretty good size. What are your recommendations for our workforce during the next game session? Not all cities are capable of growing any further, due to a lack of fresh water. Also, some need additional work on the land around them to give new citizens places to grow and work.

Thanks!
-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos
 
President Ravensfire,

If we declare war on Germany, and one of our Hoplites is attacked and wins, then this will lead to much celebration and start a golden age for our nation. If this occurs, do you have any intention of stopping the chat so that governors could rethink their plans as this will greatly affect production in their cities, and could be of great benefit if the city was building for a Wonder for example. Not knowing when this event will occur makes it difficult to produce plans to maximise use of the benefits obtained.
 
Workers
Allocation: (final numbers to be worked out tonight)
Olympus: 1 worker
Civantonia: 1-2 worker
Augean Stables: 2-3 workers
Styx: 1-2 workers
Priapos: 1-2 worker

Slider
The slider is to remain at 0% science, and the lowest practical luxury rate. This rate should ensure that 4 of our cities remain in good order without the use of entertainers.

Budget Priorities - ensure these happen first, or that money is available for them
-- 96 Gold for partial Temple rush in Augean Stables
-- All other requests may be performed so long as funds are available for these two items.

Game Stop conditions - please halt the chat should any of the following occur
-- Should only one city riot, and the Governor not issue instructions allowing entertainers
-- Should barbarians threaten unescorted workers
-- Should any nation declare war upon us
-- Should we enter a Golden Age, please complete any further battles that turn. If this happens from an AI attack, please halt the session immediately.

Thanks,
-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos
 
President Ravensfire,

Draft instructions for The Augean Stables are up in the city thread. These instructions are based on the continued use of all 3 Workers and if the Knights Templar is commenced immediately following the Market, will allow the Wonder to completed on turn 47. There is also an additional short rush of 12 (twelve) gold requested to avoid a large waste of shields when building the Market.

Edit: These instructions also assume that specialists will not be needed, although I have made provision for them if necessary in my instructions.
 
Mr President,

Your instructions were missed in the recent turnchat and as a result of them not being posted we are researching at 30%. We also have an opportunity to start our Golden Age. This is a significant decision, and if we wish to take it up, perhaps we could use a special session just for that event to allow the Governors to rebalance their cities for the increase production and our science for the increased research.
 
Citizens,

My sincere apologies for missing the instructions for the game session. A matter came up early this morning, and I completely forgot about transferring my proposed instructions over.

I hope my lapse did not cause any issues, and will take steps to ensure it does not happen again.

-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos
