Formulating Strategy for this Term

[Strider]

It is time we unite our directions into a single road. So I have several questions to ask every citizen:

1) What is our science goals this term? Just the founding of a religion or more? What should are stance on tech trading be?

2) Our military goals? Do we want to be at war by the end of this term? I'm betting that the end of this term will still be to early for a war, but I think now would be the time to start preparing for one.

3) Foreign Affairs? Who do we want to tie closer relations to? Should we attempt to make some trade/diplomatic agreements?

4) City placement... where do you see our borders expanding to by the end of this term?

5) Construction, our science efforts as Sigma has already pointed to, is lacking. Should we concentrate on building some libraries? Also, what about preparing for a war?

 

[BCLG100]

im thinking war might be out of our hands by the end of this term, we're pretty weak and the AI pick up on that so we could be at war by the end of this term whether we like it or not.

War wil come soon as BCLG says if we dont build units.

1)Found a religion then get catapults and sailing...we need to go exploring soon.

2) Get our units built to scare away possible invaders. Start preparign for war with either Mongolia or Germany. Since we do not share a common border with Russia..Mongolia more thant likely.

3) Trade at will to get what we need. I am not into this most favored natioan thing. The most favored nation is the one you are dealing with that has what you want and will give it to you for what you have at that time.

4. Fill in Beta city as chill proposed then back fill the BW/MG area.

5. Bulding libraties are fine..just dont waste them somewheres right now that isnt making much beakers. We need to start specializing cities. Weneed more of a unifying build going on..not every city for itself. Example...have a older city with a baracks make the garrisons for the newer city while the newer city constructs a building for barracks, theatre, library.... Have BW build settlers or workers till its unhappiness problem is taken care of then switch it to other areas of need.

Mic's Gate has the potential for a very powerful military city.
It is already productive from a hammer standpoint but could use a couple chops on the two grassland forests. Adding some cottages on those two spaces will enhance its beaker output considerably. The question is what to use those chops for.

 

[Pajka]

1) Prepare for war with Mongolia ... we have to get ready quickly ... as for now it will be quite easy to deal with them until they'll get copper/iron. Build up the army!

2) Get sailnig soon! We need lighthouse in MG, we should go to explore w/ galley and we might build Great Lighthouse ... that's a nice boost to commerce.

3) Do not build more cities ... it will cost us too much and hinder our science ... we need to get Code of Laws before we build more cities.

4) Found Taoism.

5) Improve relations w/ Russia and Germany ... there is the possibility to give the extra Wheat to Russians to improve our relations (later on we can change the deal to trade, but for now we can't trade it for gold ... we need Currency).

I thnk most of this strategy plans went out the window withthe Mogolians founding the city that close to our borders.

2. should read..capture Old Siria as soon as it reaches size 2 and maybe attack another Eastern Mongolian city to box them in and limit their expansion.

3. Fill in city 5 North of OLd Siria and capture a few Mongolians cities.

 

[Oldbus]

1. we should try to complete Philosophy and found a religion. This will put us in a powerful position on this continent - we can build a power block of our own choosing
2. increase our military. as others have said we are weak and may have war forced on us. I would prefer we choose our own war and Old Sarai may be the place
3. discuss whether it is worth trying to trade with Genghis for anything useful before we declare war
4. I think we could be in a stronger position if we had chop-rushed at points. I think we are short of workers and military at the moment and need them in a hurry. If we capture Old Sarai and don't have a long defensive war we may need a quick settler.

 

[Rihiter]

1) We should reserch Literature and build The Great Library first, then Philosophy
2) Attack the mongolians right after Old Sarai reaches pop2.
3) Getting closer to Germany and Russia should be good.
4) On the north we will capture some mongolian cities, where we could place the Forbidden Pallace in the future. So now we should try to fill empty terytories near our capitol, there are some good locations for new cities.
5) There is no need of building libraries in our cities, since we have only few reserch points there ( 25% from 3 is...only 1 ). We should better build The Great Library in our capitol, and then an Academy when the great scientist will be born. So we should build The Great Library in the capitol and army (swordsman) in other cities.
