COUNCIL: Workers

[Hyronymus]

Just keep in mind the Roman Doctrine: roads are crucial for victory.

 

[dutchfire]

My apologies for asking this so late, but does anyone have any request for the workers? I'll post my instructions in the morning prior to work. (approx. 1030 GMT).

I think I'll chop some forests to help speed up the Oracle if needed.

 

[dutchfire]

Worker suggestions:
#2 Stop roading, move NW to the flood plains and farm/cottage them (depending on the wishes of the Elder).
#1 and #3 mine the copper and road it, then go back to city #1.

Note to the Chieftain
A new worker will complete in NOTA, don't forget his order
I'd like him to mine a grassland hill.

Elder of NotA, term 2/3

I'd like some irrigation on the forest grassland between the city and the corn to get the corn irrigated with a bonus. And of course, completion of the iron mine.

I didn't think farm chaining helped in that way.

I didn't think farm chaining helped in that way.

It does. At the moment the Corn is unirrigated because it's not on a fresh water tile. If we make the chain, it will be. So it's essentially a free food point.

I thought you could farm resources such as corn without irrigation, or a chain of farms?

 

[dutchfire]

You can farm them, but they will have 1 foodpoint less when they're not irrigated (when you hover over it, it will say "unirrigated", or something like that)

And that+1 food can make the difference.

Best regards,

I've had a good look at the save, and I propose these worker orders:

Worker #1: Continue farming the rice, then put a pasture on the cow near City #2 (Coppertown). Then mine some of the grassland hills.
Worker #2: Mine the iron, then go to the grassland forest tile 1 east of NoneOfTheAbove. Chop the forest there together with worker #4 and then farm the tile. Then go to the unimproved flood plains near Riversight. Farm them.
Worker #3: Continue farming the rice, then go to Riversight and mine the forested hill 1 North of the city. Then build a road 1 NE of Riversight, going NE towards site A.
Worker (unnamed, should be changed to #4): Move to the forest tile 1 east of NoneOfTheAbove, chop it, and farm it, then move to the unimproved flood plains near Riversight, farm them. (Note: Do not group this worker with worker #2. That way 1 worker turn would be lost when farming.)
