A "Splendid Little War"

Today, we have sucsesfly conqured Egypt. Our troops were assembled before the start of the attack. Luckly before we declared war against Egypt. The Americans have made peace with the Egyptians. That means that Egypt was ours for the taken, especaly at its weaken state. This has been one of the fastes wars we have ever fought in. It has taken 3 Turns to capture all of the Egyptian cities all thanks to the Fanatican Railroad and Peri's Tactics.

Now we have a new Provance, Called "Provance #5". Since it is late into the Term, I have already made a Nominations for Provance #5 (I am also a Election Staff) so that it can go along with the normal election process.

Previous TC thread

This will be an on-line game play session

Please reserve this thread for instruction posts by Department Leaders. This is not a discussion thread.

Well, I have returned. And I find that, once again, I require the save. My e-mail is wizatmath@aol.com in case you've forgotten.

Science:
Just go for the ToE. Take Atom and Electricty after that.

Firstly I would like to notify our President that he did not fully follow legal military instructions regarding the positioning of the muskets in the last TC and can he be more precise this time please. If there are any problems in understanding what I have written please ask.

The Instructions for this TC are as follows:

Immediately.

Send one musket to Giza - from Memphis.
Send two muskets to River Crossing - from Memphis.
When they have reached RC send legion to Byblos.
Send two muskets to Hiercan - one from Byblos(do not leave Byblos ungarrisoned) and the one in the field near Memphis.
Send two muskets to Helio - one each from Aureus and LA.
Send legion from Asyut to Alexandria.
send legion from Gorina to Xak.
Send legion from Penguin to Thebes.
Send legion from Skunkworks to LA (This is to be the garrison for Grozny).

Without causing any cities to become ungarrisoned send 10 full strength cav to Grozny.
The attack on the city cannot start until there are at least 8 cav within striking distance of the town.

After Grozny has fallen.

Place 5 cav in Hiercan and 5 cav in Helio.
Place 5 cav in Asyut, 3 cav in Elephant and 2 in Grozny.
When we get peace with Russia send those 2 Grozny cav to Elephant.
The remainder of the cav is to be placed in Omalu.

These cavalry dispositions create a force to defend against the Aztecs, one to defend against the Greeks and a reserve force.

4) Road and irrigate two Plains near Iron Hills.

Other: DO THIS! Optimize the laborers within Iron Hills for shield production. Also, every time an improvement is made to the area surrounding Iron Hills, optimize the laborers within Iron Hills for shield production. Barring conflicting orders from Military, please phase out other defenses in favor of Musketmen as they are produced.

Quirnial Queues
Malvern Hill: 1. Courthouse (76) 2. Library (80) 3. Harbor (40)
Gingerbread City: 1. Marketplace (5) 2. Temple (10)
> Irrigation needs, See map below

Yet Another City: 1. Aqueduct (8) 2.Temple (10) 3. A better name (??)
> Irrigation needs, See map below

Bootia: 1. Marketplace (7) 2. Courthouse (14)
> MMing instructions: move the labourer working coast to work the hills

South Bootia: 1. Temple (8) 2. Marketplace (15)
DePaolo: 1. Aqueduct (10) 2. Harbour (8)
Shaitan: 1. Aqueduct (15) 2. Harbour (10)
PDX III: 1. Marketplace (18) 2. Aqueduct (Marketplace will cause WLTKD, corruption reduction)
Cold Harbour: 1. Courthouse (one day)

The following cities I want at least 3 surplus food: South Bootia, DePaolo, Gingerbread City, YAC, and Bootia. When they are size 7+, they must have at least 4 surplus food.

Here's a suggested irrigation map from D'yer Mak'er:
Irrigate and rail one of these three tiles to increase growth.

These are the locations I want the laborers to be in all 12 cities.





sorry, not completely accurate as Palatine and North shore share tiles and KM isn't using all their 11 laborers and WGHills and Babs share a tile, but you get the idea. Change the shared tiles as efficient as possible and use the extra K-M laborer on the coast.

Request:
Esquiline has 3 cities who have stopped growing due to lack of Aquaducts and a Hospital. I request to mine some of their tiles so that food can be reduced in favor of shields.



Buildqueues:

Governor of Esquiline

Trade Ministry

Treaties: Do not sign or break any treaties (Peace Treaty, ROP, MA, MPP, Trade Embargo) this turnchat. The only exception is if, after Grozny is captured or razed, Russia offers peace. If that occurs, please follow the majority opinion of the people at the chat on whether we should sign peace.

Embassies: None unless the general opinion of the people at the chat is that an embassy is needed.

City investigations: None this turnchat. I will not order the Aztec investigations now that the people have essentially chosen not to attack at this moment.

War Declarations: None this chat, and if war is declared on us, please stop the chat.

Tribute Demands:

Reject a tribute demand if:
-More than 100 gold or 6 gold per turn is demanded
-A strategic resource or luxury is demanded
-An important technology not believed to be known by other civs is demanded.
-England demands tribute.

If a demand does not violate these guidelines, pay the tribute demand unless the general opinion of people in the chat says to reject it.
