Turn Chat - 1365 A.D. - Wednesday, March 5th (7:00 PM EST, 12:00 AM GMT)

Previous Turn Chat Thread

Current Save: 1365 A.D.

Cartographic Office and City Name Registry

Note to all governors: I have three requests:

A. If a city of yours produces a new worker, post a single earmarked instruction for the province. I will see that the task gets done.

B. Post a list of the top three worker priorities for your province. These actions will be given preference, along with the railroad. NOTE THAT POLLUTION WILL ALWAYS TAKE TOP PRIORITY.

C. Concerning queues: When you post build queues, along with the list, also tell me if the city already has the production queue set (the one listed in game in the production box of each city). We can save a lot of time that way.

Thanks!

Does the earmarking thing count for workers produced last turnchat? But anyway...

List of 3 worker priorities: Mine mountain NW of Delhi, road a hill in the raidus of Lahore and mine the same hill. After doing the improvements, change the laborer allocations as follows: move laborer from the grassland 2 NW and 1 W of Delhi to the mountain and the laborer from the railroaded plains W of Lahore to the mined and roaded hill.

Bombay - Same as last t/c - Courthouse (15) - Worker (3) - Granary (15)

Calcutta - Same as last t/c - Courthouse (4) - Worker (2) - Granary (9)

Dehli - Courthouse (78) PLEASE RUSH for 312g - Worker (10) - Rifleman (80)

Lahore - Same as last t/c - Courthouse (47) PLEASE RUSH for 188g- Marketplace (100) - Granary (60)

Still looking for a province name.

EDIT: As per the results of this poll, Dehli shall be renamed to Minas Alcar. Also, please add additional defenses to Bombay to combat the possible Iroquios threat. Also, the Courthouse rushes have been approved by the budget office. Finally, I *probably* will not be here for the turnchat due to upcoming parental wrath.

It appears that I will be taking a standardized exam on Spanish on Wednesday that will prevent me from playing the game.

In that case, I offer these instructions to the would-be DP...

The railroad is a priority. If you wish, you can take two of the worker stacks working on the rails in New Japan and disperse them accross the Kingdom to get governor's priorities done. However, keep the other stacks concentrated on connecting the last few cities to the line.

Please make sure that you do all earmarked and priority actions governors request.

Otherwise, not much. There is a caraval out in the middle of the ocean that was exploring. However, when we acquired a world map from someone, we discovered the rest of the oceans. I've been trying to return it to safe shores...

Hyderabad: Rush library for 104 gold.
Nagasaki: After the current rifleman, I would like to see a temple in the city.
Nara: After the factory, I would like to see a temple.
Toyama: Change to library.

Two things...
1. Plexus, I think you need to clear that rush with domestic.
2. I just spoke with Donovan - he won't be able to play on Wednesday. Whoever is at the top of the Coc at the chat will have the honors, since neither myself or the VP will be there.

I had better quit here before I get angry at myself for threadjacking....

Foreign Affairs:

Eastern Wars

1. Sign a RoP with Greece. The Mutual Protection Pact is still in effect for 9 turns.

2. Send a couple cavalry down to Persia using our RoPs to use American, French and Greek roads. Put it in a vulnerable place and allow the Persians to attack it. This will bring Greece back into the war.

3. After the Greeks enter the war again, as soon as we can go again, sign an Alliance with the French against the Persians. Right now this would cost 23 gpt, but there is no way to be sure what it will cost in a few turns. Up to 30gpt is approved for this alliance.

Western Wars

1. Sign trade embargos with the Russians against both the Babs and the Persians.

2. Let all of our treaties run out with the Iroquois.

To: The DP
These are the addition to my queues: Cathedral in Burrow after Bank.
Other then that, they stay the same.
Biggest priority-mining, just wherever.

Montis Abeo Gramen

I'm a little busy, so a quick set of instructions:

Shimoneski - Factory, then continuous military units (whatever is needed most)

Bizen - alternate between workers and military units
Earmark orders - Please send the workers to RR one of the the mines outside Shimoneski, or Forest one square for Novgorod, then join Shimoneski or Novgorod. These workers are being built to aid pop growth in Shimoneski and Novgorod, so please dont send them elsewhere.

Novgorod - Library, Aqueduct

Ise - send the two laborers of the city to work on the gems. the city should abandon, move the settler it makes one square NE and build New Ise.

Hakodate - continuous military units

Priority list:
Have the three grassland squares around Hakodate Irrigated and railroaded

Sorry I havent checked whether these queues are set up already, but I think most of them arent. Also, I am giving the DP or military advisor the ability to choose which military they want to build.

Attention: DP for This Evening (March 5)

As I will have little time today to make further posts of my development plans for the Quellewassen Province, please refer to my provincial thread for instructions.

Yrs,

Feodor Ardent
Langrave
Quellewasser

@Feodor - You must post the instructions in this thread. Copy and paste them here. The DP can't go looking for our instructions.

(Notes: this province was formally known as “Hill-arious,” the name changed at the request of many citizens who share my desire that this region of Fanatika become less of a joke. As this is my first public edict as governor, I offer an apology ahead of time to anyone whose protocols or prerogatives I might have violated. Sound advice, corrections, and useful instruction are always welcome.)

After great travail, the good people of the Fanatikan Quellewasser (“Source of Waters”) are to have a government of their own, one that sees their land as something more than a trampling path for armies and a bottomless well of cheap labor! To that end, my new administration will set us on a course to develop the natural resources of the country, so admirably situated in the mid-continent, and to allow the citizenry to further the cause of their own happiness, piety, and freedom, the birthright of all the peoples of Fanatika.

To that end, I will be asking for the production of Quellewassen cities to be redirected. Below is a preliminary reckoning, with the names of cities translated into classical Fanatikan. The name usage noted is subject to a legal ruling, of course. I believe all of these cities are currently without elected mayors.

Nagasaki (Grüner Hügel – “Green Hill”) – Switch production to temple, rush if funds are available, build a courthouse. Nagasaki has been serving as Fanatika’s most important military magazine for some time and deserves to be rewarded.

Fukushima (Gebirgssenke – “Mountain Vale”) – Like Chittagong, this city is underdeveloped and needs to be built up instead of serving as an armory. I’ll do a site survey and work out a development plan.

Chittagong (Hohenweisse – “High Waters”) – This city is to underdeveloped to serve as a primary armory. I will tour the city and come up with a more suitable development plan.

Pune (Zwischenholz – “Between the Woodlands”) – I am agreeable to Pune producing more workers only if they are kept within the provincial boundaries. We need at least six crews from the Federal pool to develop the province properly.

Larsa (Schönverläss – “Beautiful Leaves”) -- Please switch to a courthouse and begin building a factory. Schönverläss will serve as the Provincial capital and should serve as a showcase of good government.

Jaipur (Rassenblume -- “Vale of Flowers”) -- I would like to rush the granary and develop the city for independent growth. Formal plans later today.

Yrs,

Langrave Feodor Ardent of Quellewasser
Deputy Minister for Military Affairs
Colonel General of the Fanatiker-Heer
Major General of Volunteers
Master Emeritas of the Guilds Textile


Addenda: apparently some clerical error led to my being ranked as “Leutnantoberst” (Lieutenant Colonel) in some documents. This rank would not allow me command of even a single regiment in the Fanatikan Army. As I am, by election, the second ranking officer in the military hierarchy, I can only assume the reference was meant to be to “Oberstgeneral”, or Colonel-General.’’

Addenda: More geographical names to be filed as I have time to tour the province and accumulate records for the Gubernatorial Library.

Please keep in mind that all projected completion times are based on the Golden Age production levels (because our GA just ended this turn...). Hence, all estimated completion times will change next turn. I strongly recommend that you look carefully at all provincial production queues after this next turn to see if any cities are wasting shields or constructing something that may require too many turns to complete.

Also, make sure to rush the Granary in Turn 1 (if approved) so that it is completed before Civanatoria grows.

Trade

Greece

IMPORT: 164gpt, 70g, World Map
EXPORT: Scientific Method

America

Gems deal can be renegotiated - don't renegotiate unless they ask

Iroquois

IMPORT: 41gpt, 75g, World Map
EXPORT: Medicine

Note: I can go either way on this one. We could have a citizen vote to see if we should really trade (and wait 3 extra turns to declare war on them - 20 turns instead of 17).

China

Dyes and Furs deal can be renegotiated. Renegotiate both for as much as possible (The rules, I think, won't let me see both, since I can't hit enter...)

Turn 6 - Dyes deal with Greece runs out - don't renegotiate unless they ask

"Jungle Fever" Province (Will possibly be renamed Alderaan soon)

Bangalore- worker (C) (6), courthouse (80), aqueduct (100)

I will request a rush on the courthouse later.

I would like the worker to clear the jungle directly one square east of Bangalore, once the worker is produced. Then mine it. Then clear the jungle one square NE of Bangalore.

Domestic

Increase the rate to the highest possible while still making a profit.

The rushes in Delhi, Lahore, and Civanatoria are approved.

Continue with the Size 12 Plan as was enacted last term.

Bavaria qeue remains the same.

More to come if more rush requests appear.

The South Doughnut Coast

Padmativa
After the granary is built in one turn, the queue is:
University-Bank

Leningrado
Change to a university and add the marketplace to the queue (placed after the university)

That is all

EA

Kyoto: Hoover Dam (5), Cathedral, Colosseum, Military Units (Cannons or Riflemen)
Plexenburg: Cathedral (4), Colosseum, Courthouse, Military Units (Cannons or Riflemen)
Kells: Cathedral (3), Colosseum, Granary, Military Units (Cannons or Riflemen)
Leckopolis: Marketplace (6), Factory, University, Courthouse

All the build queues are currently empty.

Please continue to develop Hafen Land in all ways. Especially I would like the area around Leckopolis to be irrigated.

Please rename the city of Riga to Starke. Authorized by this citizen poll.
