I have made the two trades and we have silk imports again!
I've looked at the luxury rate and how it affects our unhappy citizens. At 0% lux we have 16 unhappy faces in ten cities. Upping the lux rate to 10% leaves 12 unhappy faces in 7 cities. Only Fox Nest, Khatovar and New York benefit. (However, Khatovar is not growing and cannot have WLTKD anyway and New York can switch it's scientist to an entertainer and eliminate its unhappy face even at 0% lux.) Raising the lux rate to 20% would leave 8 unhappy faces in 4 cities but would also seriously hamper our research rate and gold surplus.
Therefore I have decided to leave the luxury rate at 0%. I offer the following recomendations for specific cities:
Khatovar: Send some workers to irrigate the desert so this city will have a food surplus.
New York: Switch the scietist to an entertainer.
Washington and Boston need entertainers now.
Philadelphia needs a cathedral.
Thebes: See if entertainers will bring back WLTKD.
Chicago and Atlanta need markets.
For our wonder building program I suggest that PDX immediately switch from bank to palace in an effort to pre-build a wonder.
I am splitting our income 50/50 between the treasury and research in an effort to beeline to Theory of Gravity. It will take 7 turns to get physics. I urge the NSD to authorize research into the theory of greavity next and free artistry after that. I also urge our trade dept, and FA to investigate other means of acquiring these technologies. The NSD has 156 gold at its dispolsal.
I would remind everyone that Pherris is a prime candidate for pre-building a wonder as well.
I have changed Malinalco's build queue to an aqueduct and then Magellan's Voyage.
