[Bowsling]

send next warrior produced to city three by TO's request.
scout out as much of england as possible for the purposes of intelligence.
name next archer built billybones27

 

[Cyc]

Looks like we'll only get 1 Settler this Game Session. I believe the general concensus was to plant that Settler within the Yellow borders. That way we can utilize the Wheat and tabaccy plus get another port city.

Please change the name of City 3 to Maeve.

The Domestic Department strongly suggests that we change the Curragh being built in Maeve to a Temple. We need the Culture and the lux will help also.

 

[TheOverseer714]

Agreed, we need a culture pop to get the Incense inside our borders, the sooner the better. Exploration of the seas can come afterward.

 

[CommandoBob]

Technology Minister endorses our plan of going all out for Philosophy, followed by Code of Laws and Republic.

Trade Minister opposes a trade to England for Iron Working at this time. Trade Minister is more concerned about having a misplaced Golden Age than the possible lack of Iron inside our fair borders.

The Trade Minsiter is not aware of any plans concerning our Golden Age, but is also not well versed on the current court gossip, so if plans do exist for the Twenty Years of Happiness, I am at fault for not finding them.

 

[Zearo]

Foreign affairs minister says don't declare war... just in case you feel the urge...

01[23:23] <!DaveShack> hi Furiey
[23:23] <Furiey> hi

[23:54] <Furiey> nice
01[23:54] <!DaveShack> just need to protect our workers since the barbs have horses too
[23:55] <Furiey> yep, settlers too
01[23:56] <!DaveShack> I've never left one unprotected since DZ lost one in one of his first TC's
[23:56] <Furiey> definitely embarrasing
