Good set, except:
Gandhi must go, he's closest to us, the tech leader, and he shouldn't have much of an army yet.
Izzy will not like this.. *shudders*

Handling Izzy 101: Redirect her Anger
If only we can come up with a way to convince the queen that by following her advisors plans it would be in her benefit? Perhaps if we told her that the little Indian man knows the secrets of fine jewelry but won't give them up to us?

Current PITA order:
Worker priorities are to get silver and gold on-line. NO other work actions are allowed until these two are completed.
If this happens again the turn will be invalidated. I don't know what about NO didn't come through, but touching the cows broke the mandated orders.
Variant:
After each turn I will review the game and give a mandated order that can't be ignored. Many orders will be odd.
It expires at the end of your turn-set.

Conversation at the palace:
Izzy: What do you mean I don't have a gold ring yet? The blasted workers had plenty of time.
Advisor: The workers were diverted to help feed Barcelona.
Izzy: You DARED to defy my orders. Izzy walks away for a bit, comes back with an axe, and killers her current advisor!
Izzy: Points to someone in the room, and informs them they are now her new aid. He shivers in horror.
Advisor: Yes, your majesty.
Izzy: First of all get me my gold for a ring now.
Advisor: Yes, your majesty.
Izzy: The citizens of Barcelona must be punished.
Advisor: It isn't their fault. Why punish them?
Izzy: Do you want the axe next?
Advisor: No, your majesty.
Izzy: Kill the cattle, and most of the people in Barcelona. Let them help out the military. No one defies my orders!
Izzy: Excuse me why I go check out the new torture chamber. I think this will be fun...

Current multi-part PITA order:
1) The offense from last turn must be fixed. The two workers on the mine must finish, and build a road to Barcelona.
2) The warrior in Barcelona must be woken up immediately and pillage the offending cattle. The cattle can't be fixed this round.
3) Barcelona must be switched to archers and whipped as many times as possible for an archer.
Variant:
After each turn I will review the game and give a mandated order that can't be ignored. Many orders will be odd.

Failure to follow the PITA order invalidates your turn.
Remember about 15 peace (including phony wars) / about 10 heavy war turns per round. STRICT 24 hours got it, total 48 hours to complete.
Remember the use of the BUG mod is prohibited due to its destruction of the in game log. The use of BUG will result in your being ejected from the game.

Got it. Can you clarify the order about whipping Barca, please?
Is it
a) Whenever possible whip for an Archer (even if there is a penalty for no hammers invested). This means I could micro for no growth after whipping down to size 1.
b) Same as a) except no cheesy low food micro.
c) Get the maximum possible number of whipped archers in 15 turns from Barca. (i.e. max food, whip for one pop, so wait a turn before whipping)

After thinking about it, my first rule for ignoring orders was to extreme. I've changed it to the below.

I think I like this better anyway.. It makes for an interesting game (Barcelona is going to be angry for a very very long time..)
Although, there is a loophole here; IIRC, if we let Gandhi take the city when we declare on him, and then recapture, the anger is gone. Along with all the infrastructure

So long as you guys don't purposely defy the orders to get funny wacky ones. I know that would be fun for us lurkers, but I'm sure that isn't what LK has in mind for the game.

i'm sorry$ about my round LK, i don't know how but somehow i misinterpreted the orders thinking that i had to get the metals online during my set. and since there was a barb warrior close to the gold and i had no troops to kill him i built a pasture while waiting.
i will read the orders more carefully next time. sorry.

I converted immediately.
I switched Madrid to a Settler since it is at its happy cap.

Whip Barca. Whip Library in Seville.
Priesthood -> CoL. No beakers have been invested yet, so change this if there is something better.

There is a barbarian city to the north, not in too bad a position. I think we should capture it sometime. How many Archers can we expect there on Monarch?
We have an unmoved settler on Green Dot, I'll leave it to the next player to decide whether or not to found immendiately. Since Barcelona will be able to work the gold once it grows, I think we should.
Lee, the citizens of Barcelona definitely think you're a PITA:
EDIT: I will be OOP for two weeks starting on Wednesday.
Could you skip me during this time, please?

Barcelona can still grow to size 2 and then one every 15 turns.. so not as bad as it could be. Cows must go back on-line next set I guess.
Barb city will have 3 archers on Monarch (and possibly a worker)

Turns 150 - 165 / 350BC - 125BC
There was not a lot of action, so i ended up with a rather boring report. The only Screenshot i actully meant to take (Meditation done), didn't work.
Set research to Meditation.
Its 10 Turns at 40% and +1 Gpt after rearranging a citizen at Madrid.
Hold off settling the green dot for a few turns however, as it will probably increase the time by a lot.
Turn 151: Barcelona finishes another Archer... Disband a Warrior there. To cut costs.
Also send one Archer to Madrid to replace the Warrior there.
Somehow i feel, we will not need a granary there too soon, so put a Temple.
Turn 153: Get A Archer Killed by a Barb Warrior who tries to pillage the food near Barcelona. In Flat land![[pissed]](/images/smilies/pissed.gif "Pissed [pissed]")
. Fortunately our wise leader made sure we are not short on Archers.
Turn 154: Barcelona grows and can work the Gold now. Can raise slider to 50% at +2gpt. Yeah.
Turn 157: Setlle Toledo on Green Dot. Must go back to 20% and +2gpt. Employ a Scientists in Madrid which is at happy cap for the next 9 turns (Whiped Lighthouse).
Turn 159: Meditation done. (I had meant to take a screenshot here but it didnt take...)
Back to CoL at 30% and -1 gpt now. 36 Truns but i hope it can be helped somehow along the way.
Barcelona built Temple and can grow to 4 now... And will loose another
in 6 turns.
Turn 162: Someone builds the Orcale and pops Philosophy from it. Taht is
Turn 163: And the winner is Hammurabi, who just switched to Pacifism.
Turn 165:
I took out the scientists in Madrid whipping a Settler last turn i think we shoud put them back asap, to get a GS. There is also some overflow to be used - if you want change the build, the Axe might be not the most pressing thing right now.
Sevilla will deliver a Galley next turn. The idea is to guard the fish at madrid against those new vicious 3.17 sea-barbs.
We have a Settler at disposal - either to Settle yellow or maybe to Claim Dyes - we would have to compete with the Greative Preicles there however.
There is another possible spot with Sheep and Silver West of Barcelona.
