Mordhiemia - Currently building a temple to stop the need for an entertainer

Marl Downs - building a necessary trireme but it probably needs to build a temple next because it has the same situation as Mordhiemia.

The other two cities will also experience unhappiness problems soon.

So should they all be building temples or just use entertainers and build caravans instead.

2 settlers - Continue building roads and irrigation or perhaps we should build new cities in another area. Gary would like us to use the settler next to Octavian's point to build a filler but it could continue irrigating or roading and then board the trireme from Marl Downs and settle new continents.

Gary just asked me to post about this province so I'm not sure if I'm actually the governor...

The Filler is River Bend Bridge, 2 squares East of Reneaux.

Hey, if you're willing to cover the province when no one else is, then run with it.

I am not a Supreme Being. I simply believe many cities is the key to productivity.
I voted so:

Build caravans.
OP Settler build Forest Road to Ren,
  then found River Bend Bridge Filler.
Send the warrior near Mord to the MD Trireme
Settlers should concentrate on roads

However, I voted the MD Trireme be changed to a Caravan in another poll. However, it is true that MD has no war units out, and so would be a good home city for a Trireme. Whatever.

Marl Downs: has Temple, 2 Black Dudes, 2 Police, is stable.
  Food Box is 0/30, recommend one Forest Serf to Road.
Mordhiemia: Temple 18/40 in 8.
  We could use both Warrior & Phx to dump Elvis a bit.
OP: Archer 15/30 in 5.
  Since we have the irrigation, we could build a Settler instead.
Eboracum Salt Caravan in 2 turns,
  rehome in Reneaux, maybe deliver to Elysium.
Neuma Caravan in 12, seems ok.

F. These polls are getting harder and harder to interpret.

G. The game is getting more and more complicated.

H. I'm developing a taste for OCC.

I don't think we should build caravans here! It takes ages for the caravans to be delivered to build wonders. Maybe we should build some for trade routes??? OK, but only one per city. When the cities have grown we obviously need a lot more trade routes going on but I think that's at a later stage of the game.

NE NE NE of Marl Downs are some tiles that aren't covered by any city yet. I'd like to see them used but first I like the trireme to uncover the island just off the coast there, we may be able to found a city on that island and let it use the tiles on the main land. The city can also use that nice fish-special!

I like the settlers to road from OP to Ebo and from Ebo to Ren to make the province more reachable from the rest of the empire.

I see now, said the blind man. From Marl Downs, NE NE NE is a better site, than the Tip Forest, in that it can work that Pure Green as well as the Fish. Assuming the Trireme doesn't reveal something else.

This province might build a Diplomat, perhaps for the Trireme.
Marl Downs would make a good Trade Route, die to low corruption.

It's nice to see that people are voting for Governor Dell19. I put choices F G H on some of my polls, but I don't see them up there.

Lets explore the island first. That island will contain at least 3 other specials.

This wouldn't be the case if a trireme were available for ferrying units - 2 turns from MD to RC, 5 turns from MD to Elysium (same as Civvium to Elysium).

This should be the exploration priority after the south (is)land.

Nice poll, Dell19. River Bend Bridge Filer got 4 votes! But lost

Centuries of lost productivity   Centuries of Settlers toiling to build Roads, when they could be dashing to SW Chryshe Boo hoo. The Bridge City may never be built! Never And that little Coastal Forest will be wasted ... forever. Waaaaaaaa


There, I've grieved. Now I feel better.

 

[Rout]

We could build it when weve nothing better to do with settlers in the area.

The south island will be explored before the second trieme even gets there.

 

[Dell19]

So basically the people want:
- caravans and temples built.
- Settlers to concentrate on completing the road network, then the filler could be build with one settler whilst the other settlers may start on irrigation.
- The spare warrior and one of the current settlers (probably the one just south of Oct's point) should go and board the Marl
trireme.
- Finally a trireme should be built and sent north.
