Leaders,

Please post all requests for cash uses here. This includes upgrades, rushes, trades and gifts.

I cannot approve or deny any use of cash so long as the total does not exceed the treasury. Should that happen, I will assign a priority to uses of cash for the Designated Player to use.

30 AD Treasury: 287

Thanks,
-- Ravensfire, President of Fanatikos

none

Without considering income, reserves will be at 287 gold.
Income is currently: 40 gold per turn.

Note: The President may not approve/deny cash uses unless the requests exceed the treasury. Expenditures noted as Priority are an indication of how I would decide such cases

I resubmit the request for a short Temple rush in The Augean Stables; 96 gold to rush to 24 shields to 30 shields (eg: a Sword) followed by 5 turns at 6spt to complete the Temple. This will help speed The Augean Stable in the preparation for building the Knights Templar and possibly also allow the Lux slider to be lowered, at least for a couple of turns until the cities grow.

Summary: 96 gold on turn 0.

I also request a short rush for a Market to avoid wasting a lot of shields and taking an extra turn.

On turn 9, estimate of 3 shields for 12 gold as short rush to a Hoplite then switch back to the Market. There should be 17 shields already stored following the forest chop requiring only 3 shields to rush to the 20 shields for a Hoplite.

I would like to request provisional rush authority for Styx to finish its marketplace early, only if war with Germany goes badly such that we have an emergency need for more units and it is after the end of turn 4. The estimated cost starting on turn 4 is 256 gold, dropping by 36 (or more) gold per turn after that point. The purpose of this rush, if we need it at all, is to avoid shield waste from converting production to the smaller project of training a unit for battle.

Actually, if we're in really dire straits at that point it would also be appropriate to rush a horse or sword in its second turn of production (two turns after the market rush), for 84g (or less).
