Governors

[dutchfire]

There was some unclearity about which governor controls which cities. Especially as it's likely that we'll keep conquering new cities for a while

I've tried to make some maps that could be used. Start point is that there are 4 provinces.

First, the "classic" approach. A western, central, eastern and southern province. The downside of this approach is that the southern aimag basically can't grow anymore, and the other Aimags will all be slim and long, making good worker control problematic.


Another approach where "groups" of cities are packed together. This should make worker control easier. The blue group of cities will get large overtime though, it might be needed to change it later on.


And for all you artists out here, try to make a map too.

Last term, well the current term, i have been giving orders for neopalois, has this city been moved to the western amiag

 

[dutchfire]

I'm not moving anything, the governors need to decide and agree on this. I'm just starting discussion. (And it might be that my first map isn't entirely the same as our current situation.)

 

[Joe Harker]

Ok just checking, just didn't want me and the ordinary guy to give two sets of orders for the same city!

My computer screen was covered with saliva after seeing this. ROTFL.

I didn't even know that neapolis was under my control

I thought it was just coppertown, marseilles, pisae and rheims.

I have to consult my deputy about this.

 

[dutchfire]

Neapolis in the Riversight aimag makes sense too.

My rendition of how the map should be.

I tried to make all of the provinces contain the same amount of cities, without having too much enlongation. It did not come out as well as I hoped, but I believe that it is still a good map. The biggest problem with it is the fact that some of the close cities are not in one province. Also, the new city (whenever it is created) near EA/Ainu should be put into the EA province.

 

[ordinaryguy]

I haven't heard from my deputy regarding his opinion on this issue.

So Chieftain, what is the decision? I need to know so that I can prepare instructions for the next turnchat.

Slightly off topic, but when does Term 5 start for us? The next turnchat?

 

[dutchfire]

It starts when the new month starts. Governors need to contact eachother to make sure who controls what.

 

[Hyronymus]

Here is your deputy, ordinaryguy!

I'm very fine with dutchfire's second proposal, the groups of cities. A quick look tells me that every Aimag will have 5 cities which is fair. The blue aimag may need a review in the future indeed.

Also consider this: during wartime the Warlord + Chieftain should give orders for cities until a city has either stopped rebelling or is out of harms way.

 

[Joe Harker]

So if I control the Blue zone, ordinary guy controls the yellow, The old governor of EA controls the green and the red zone goes to the current southern amaig?

 

[Provolution]

I follow the definitions of natural borders and ethnicities, using the water-bodies and our conquered territories as delineators.

Notice how the provinces are balanced by size, enough important cities, topography, type of city names (notice how Western, Northern and Eastern correspond to French, Roman and German occupied territories). I gave small German Essen to Central, as if to give them a seaside port.

We might want to consider dropping down to 3 aimags, or at least not expanding to 5. Also where would new cities be settled, and how does that affect the number of cities in the aimags?

 

[Methos]

I'm a little late getting into this conversation and even than, I'm a little confused at what cities are mine. I have the NOTA aimag, so what do I control?

Edit: I prefer dutchfire's second ss, as it keeps my cities closer together making moving units around faster.

 

[DaveShack]

NotA currently has Lyons, Orleans, Paris.

 

[Provolution]

I think five aimags is fine for a vast continent like ours, and it is a special number, in case we want governor elections, we will always get a majority there. It also fits with roughly equal land sizes and city number, as well as cultural labels (One heartland, one pioneer territory and 3 conquered nations).

 

[ordinaryguy]

So which cities am I in control now?

Edit: We may have to postpone the coming turnchat if a decision is not made.

 

[ordinaryguy]

sorry about the double posts - my computer hanged

 

[Joe Harker]

I think you own coppertown, pisaces, rhiems
