Turn 0 trade wheet to Russia for Wine.

If we meet another Civ besides Russia or Germany STOP PLAY so we can discuss trades and relations.

Do not declare war this TC.
And do not accept any trades.
Do not give into any demands.

If a trade that you feel needs discussion decline and STOP play so we can discuss it.

You can assume governor of Boaring Wallow durning this play session, unless I get direct orders from the MoI.

Official Instructions from the Censor

The Citizens Assembly has voted to NOT build the Great Library.

Instructions from the Minister of the Interior:

Worker Actions:

"Worker": 2S of Boaring Wallow: Rename him "Karakorum". Then send him south to Abydos and have him clear the jungle 2W1S of Abydos, cottage, then move on to Karakorum
"Abydos": 2S1E of Auda City: Finish cottage, move 1 W, chop, cottage, road
"Worker": 1W of Old Sarai: Finish farm, rename "Old Sarai", move SE, chop cottage
"Worker": 1E of Turfan: Finish cottage, rename "Turfan", move 3W, cottage
"Worker": 2N of Ning-Hsia: Finish cottage, rename "Ning-Hsia", cottage floodplains around NH
"City #4": 1S2W of Toot Uncommon: finish road, rename "Toot Uncommon", cottage, move 3S, chop, cottage
"Road Builders": 1S2W of Toot Uncommon: finish road, send to Beshbaik to cottage along the river

Please stop play if Beshbaik finishes it's theater. We need to discuss building the Globe Theater.

Georgeop just so you're aware there's a worker eating lunch south of BW.

Instructions for Mic's Gate.
The city is currently on research. Having the city on research is not helping lower the research pace even with a library as the city is producing 1 beaker at 20% science.

I would like the city to start a granary for 6 turns instead. Mic's Gate will have one cottage mature into a hamlet in 3 turns so gold will go up by 2gpt from there.

When the city grows to pop 4 in 6 turns and I would then switch the new citizen to the plains cottage tile.
If the worker near BW is not being used I'd like to develop one of the grassland forest tile south of Mic's Gate into a cottage. Up to the MoI on this.

Editted since the citizens don't want a worker.

Follow the MoI's instructions for workers/building etc in Beshbalik. If this leaves any Beshbalik workers idle, then please use them to build cottages (I'll leave it your discretion where to do this as I can't load Civ at the moment).

Note: You should probably get this thread stickied so it doesn't get pushed below all of the nomination and election threads.

Save any Great people under my control. That is all.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 200th post w00t

There will be anarchy for another 4 turns, after that start on a granary. I am not sure about the rate of border expansion, so work both clam sea tiles and a forest tile unless, or until, the mine is available. There shouldn't be any workers in the near vicinity.

Lower science to the point which has the closest value to 0gpt. If negative, this will be lowered automatically if we run out of funds.

Stop if anyone declares war on us, if we meet any new people, or if we reach a point where we will run out of money at 0% science.

Use War Chariots near Karakorum ( and archers from Abydos if necessary ) to kill the barb axeman near Abydos ( unfortunatley somebody who have played last turns had sent our Swordsman to death from the hands of that axeman... ). It is quite possible that the barb axeman will destroy pasture befor I will manage to exterminate him.

Other units which were used to destroy the Mongols are ordered to garrison in the cities along our borders. Some of them are going to be used to uncover foged tiles inside our territory ( to prevent barbarians ).

THE TIME OF PEACE HAVE COME. I HAVE NO OTHER PRECISE ORDERS.

I have some issues with some of the actions you took during this TC.

DaveShack said:

You did:
- science rate turned to 30% ( most efective -> -13gp , Curency in 17turns )

Whereas our science rate should have been lowered to 10%, you instead raised it, creating an even bigger deficit. You had no authorization to do so.

robboo said:

You did:
- Traded Cooper for 2gp with Russia ( we don't need cooper at the time, and we need money badly )

Neither robboo, nor the citizens, authorized a trade of copper. Even if it is a good trade (which it's not, in my opinion), you're causing problems for our national security by giving Russia copper that it does not have.

You took matters into your own hands by executing these actions, and completely ignored the instructions of our elected officials.

Robboo said not to accept any trades, I didn't accept a trade, I made one myself.
