When I opened the save the first thing I noticed was the majority of our planets we not growing period. After some tweaking and building a farm near Earth I feel that we can grow again without production loss. In order for our cities to produce/science/commerce we need people and need to grow regularly.
T1
Cardassians approach us with this trade. Education for Guilds/200 gold and accept.
Approach by Dominion and want to trade dye for sugar and accept.
Navigator Treebek is hailing sir. Yep put him on. We are at our new settlement which has just created a CX class starship, which can cloak and has better weapons than the previous class. Excellent navigator.
Our friends have a beef with the Romulans and declare war on him. Since he is a member we may need to aid should he request it.
T2
The Romulans are requesting we go to war with our friends. So many strange requests from these Romulans and of course denied.
Engineer Koto reports the following:
Mars  Library
Ursa Minor  University
Earth  University
Move CX class and engineers improving as usual
T3
Nothing to report
T4
Navigator Treebek is hailing sir: Put him on. Sir we have discovered another planet here and is quite suitable for habitation. Unfortunately we will need a constitution class ship to make a settlement here and feel we should do it soon. (island just west of Earth)
Duly noted and will inform Starfleet.
T5
Engineer Koto reports the following:
Libyan  barracks
Yeka  theater
Engineers performing regular duties and CX class ships exploring the area.
T6
We received notification from the Supreme Council that we are the least advanced.
Cardassians seeks Open Borders with us and grant their request. This will give us opportunity to spread the charter.
Epsilon is a great commerce center and duly needs a University.
Settler done but want to keep him for new found planet since our system is getting full and getting those creatures that allow us to have mounted warriors would be paramount. After banking may I suggest we get Astronomy or try to trade for it.
T7
We find a new method of weaponry and begin on banking to better fund our future. The dominion is by far the most advanced and have discovered liberalism.
Sabic builds university and start a barracks.
Vulcans will only give banking for GP but we are only a few turns away from banking so leave it so maybe we can get more out of him.
T8
Klingons request Open Borders and accept.
Engineer Koto reports the following:
Earth  grocer
Libyan  Musket
CX class ship deployment and engineer doing routine work.
T9
Mars starts a university.
We need to find Cardassians whereabouts although we do have an idea and start sending Federation diplomats to spread our charter since we can now travel in his system.
T10
As far as the settler goes we can settle him right now but I would him for the planet west of us which has horses. So getting Astronomy soon would be good and just upgrade on of the galleys to galleon to get there.
Suggest we get many Federation diplomats for the Cardassians/Klingons/Vulcans.
We need to add a food facility in Epsilon to work a mine. We should make use of our shrine and boost our science since we are deadlast.
Hailing Captain Greyfox.
In light of the change of the charter we were able to make some negotiations with more advanced races which will help us move ahead. The dominion now has engaged in a charter that has no distinction and proposes a new challenge to the charter. When a civilization goes with this new found free religion do we act as normal or are there any special provisions that Starfleet has.
End Transmission.
(In hindsight I feel I should have traded banking for GP but now it's only 2 turns away. I want to have more umph trade wise to get astronomy from him which I believe he has. Once that is done I would upgrade a galley and get that settler on board and head to the island west of us. We need those horses. )
