Turn chat 1475 AD (June 26)

Phoenatica has now taken its rightful place as the most technologically advanced nation on the planet! Theories of evolution and atomic structure were recently presented by the National Science Depatment (NSD) at the Great Library in Fox Nest. Our scientists have turned their attention towards new energy sources. The basic network of the National Railway System (NRS) is in place. The Phoenatic Secret Service (PSS), composed of elite immortals) has been formed and units stationed in our provincial capitals. The deplyment was a grand affair as these time honored regiments rode the NRS to their new posts. Our industrial base has grown with the completion of the ironworks in Civanatoria. The recent discovery of electronics promises an even bigger boost to our production.
The military academy was finsihed in Pherris. This may well prove to be one of our move important creations given the current conflicts that permeate out borders. The Romans have taken Eretria from Greece. Greece took Cumae from from the Chinese and since then has teetered between Roman and Greek occupation. The Romans currently hold this ancient Roman city although it's population is just one tenth what it once was. The Chinese city of Tienstin was destroyed by Greek forces. This caused a rush of settlers to leave Chondote in order to found a new Phoenatican city. This city will be named by Strider, current head of the NSD.
We are now faced with the question of what to do with our army of immortals now that we can form more modern armies in Pherris. Should we keep this armyor disband it forever? We also acquired secrets of espionage from the Babylonians and there is agitation to build the Phoenatic Intelligence Agency (PIA).

Please do not use this as a discussion thread! Leaders and governors should now be posting their turn chat instructions here!

Instructions from the President's office.

Improve the areas around our cities. Asphinxia and Ameria should have priority.

These are the instructions for Kashmir. I've also included Chondote and the old Chinese city as part of my Deputy Minister of the Domestic Dept. I've made the last two cities very flexible for Cap activities.

As of now the build queues are:

Cyrus - aqueduct, marketplace, cathedral
Heliopolis - cathedral, hospital,bank
Alexandria - marketplace, granary, cathedral

In Cyrus, I'd like to have one worker build a mine on the mountain SE of the city. Then have the same worker irrigated the last RR'd plain, west of the city. It should be done in this order and the mine should be utilized as soon as it's completed.

All citizens in the Province are working the appropriate tiles.

The old chinese city can keep building a library, if CAP rushes it, build a temple. If CAP rushes that build a granary.

Chondote should work on it's granary and then an aqueduct.

Fox's Nest: hospital, Intelligence Agency (if there are no objections to building it here)

Eyr: Factory, Hospital, University

Chie: Factory, Infantry, Infantry

Khatovar: Factory, Hospital, Colloseum

Malinalco: Hospital, Bank, University, Colloseum

Asyut: Aqueduct, Cathedral, Bank

Lutetia: Factory

Science: 60%
Taxes: 40%

262 gpt

Budget Allocations:

456 gold to rush a hospital in PDX
152 gold to rush a library in the new chinese city
600 gold to upgrade 5 pikemen to infantry

Substituting for chiefpaco:

I think our current foreign affairs standings with other nations are satisfactory. However, I am obliged to point out the War With Greece poll, which shows that a majority of our voting citizenry feel we should go to war with Greece, after their dastardly attack against our friends, the Iroquois.

In my opinion, this is subject to approval by the Military Department, at least as to timing, but the people of Phoenatica have cried out for justice against Greece, and we would be ill-serving them if we ignored their voices.

Atlanta: Temple / (Settler) / Courthouse
Civanatoria: Walls / Aqueduct / Infantry or (University and Cathedral)
New York: Factory / (Settler) / Hospital
Philadelphia: Factory / (Worker) / Courthouse
San Francisco: Marketplace / (Worker) / Harbor / Courthouse
Seattle: University / Courthouse
Paville: Immortals / Temple

If there are any workers available, please send them to irrigate the valley of San Francisco. We are working mined grasslands, although there are many hills surrounding San Francisco, thus limiting its growth.

People have chosen CAP over military by a large margin, and in that spirit, we might want to build a university and cathedral in Civanatoria.

People have also asked for more settlers and workers to be built. These have been included in the build queue. If the president feels they are not needed at the moment, he may skip them in the queues.

Sorry for my inactiveness I went away
Sorry that i forgot to post the queues in the turn chat thread last turn chat.

Building queues

PDX:hospital(rush)[c]/ hoover dam

Port Gisnod:factory[c]/ infantry
Miami: university[c]/ Police station
Boston: / university[c]
Valhall: Pólice station[c]/hospital

Turn chat 1475 AD (June 26)

Time marches on!

We reopened the wine route to England at the end of 1425 AD by teaching Elizabeth about the medicinal traits of alcohol. This brought an end to the riots in Memphis. We also upgraded 6 regiments of pikemen to infantry. That put us up to 45 infantry with 16 pikemen still on the military department's payroll. Greece and China made peace even while Gandhi asked us to ally against the Chinese. We declined to enter the alliance.
Phoenatica's first hospital was opened in PDX in 1430 and that city immediately began work on another great project, the Hoover Dam. A branch of the Great Library was opened in CSIM, the city named by Strider which is near Chondote. The Greeks actually asked us to ally with them in a war against England! It was very difficult to keep a straight face during these 'negotiations'. Rome allied with India in the war against China.
We hired four Greek workers for 89 gold in 1440. That year we also renewed our fur imports from Babylon but had to tech Hammurabi the scientific method to seal the deal. We also sold scientific method to the Aztecs for 30 gold and 19 gpt. Renewed our saltpeter exports to Zululand for 350 gold and 2 gpt. Five years later Pherris began forming a new army and Fox Nest commenced construction of the Phoenatic Intelligence Agency (PIA). Near the end of 1445 elite Greek cavalry once again occupied Cumae. The Aztecs joined an alliance with India against the Chinese. On the home front a strange orange goo covered the plains near Civanatoria.
The year 1450 was another for the businessmen. We sold incense to Shaka for 110 gold and 9 gpt. Practically doubled the price of our ivory and incense exports to the Aztecs. They were paying 8 gpt, we upped it to 15 gpt with 30 gold up front. India had been paying 18 gpt for our ivory but we changed that to 500 up front. Ghandi wouldn't part with his silks unless we taught him how we make large cities so we passed on the silks.
The Romans ejected the Greeks from Cumae once more in 1455. We founded a new city near the old location of Rhodes. The Greeks attacked Cumae again in 1460 and we dispatched cavalry in an attempt to keep this poor city from changing hands again. This resulted in our citizens calling for the creation of specialized battlefield medical techniques. Our scientists also learned to refine crude oil. We have three sources within our borders and one (near Anyang) is connected. Our scientists immediately began work on a use for this refined oil.
