So do I !!

I think almost all the viewers at this post are in the same
positions than us....

Queen, we are waiting for your holy report.

(I will come back into 15' to check if there is something added. ...!):)
 
OK, we lost some we won some...
After all it appears to be nice: Antioch for a nice price, Gordium too so we can start to settle near Gordium!
Trade is working out just fine: huge amounts of money received! :)
We've got lots of money, lots coming in each turn too so all that needs to be done now is find the other Spanish cities, their capitol and start the attack!
 
1660AD Status of the NUF Republic - 1981 gold 20,30,50%

We have Theology & Democracy, the Vans for Bach, and Railroad. Marvelous increase in Population and capability, and with Democracy this will occur worldwide! Nice work delivering Vans and saving Marl.Downs :goodjob: Good flow of Foreign Trade Vans - 2 Silver in Indian Watcher. Perhaps we can begin laying Railroad to connect Elysium with GG, CJ and Monks Towne?

Next oedo year is 1700 : Bach in 1680, Revolution 1690AD.

Loosing Hanging Gardens is a bit of a curve ball. Celebration is reduced, and we lack Engineers to quickly build our Railroads. Now that the Indian invaders are stacked, we cannot bribe them. Antioch? "No comment"

Nearly all changes above are required to prevent the collapse of our government. :( My Queen, the loss of Hanging Gardens has made our situation more critical. We are building Markets and Aquaducts in Legendary, Castle Jayne, Monks and TFalls that are of limited use   rather than an intense number of Engineers. We have only 22 Engineers and 6 in production.

Researching Tactics (due in 3 turns), 48 known: Alphabet, Astronomy, Banking, Bridge, Bronze, CBurial, Chemistry, Chivalry, CodeLaws, Conscription, Construction, Currency, Democracy, Economics, Engineering, Explosives, Feudalism, GunPowder, HBR, Invention, Iron.Working, Leadership, Literacy, Map.Making, Masonry, Math, Medicine, Metallurgy, Monarchy, Monotheism, Mysticism, Navigation, Philosophy, Physics, Polytheism, Pottery, RAILROAD, Republic, Sanitation, Seafaring.Harbors, Steam.Engine, Theology, Gravity, Trade, University, WarrCode, Wheel and Writing.

Although we have "Discoveries in 3 Turns", due to Caravan deliveries our rate is sometimes higher than that. We discovered Conscription, Steam.Engine, Theology, and Railroad in the past 9 turns. Physics just appeared???

-GaryNemo, your Domestic Advisor.

We got that from the Persians after subverting Gordium.

I'm surprised we got Railroad in one turn. I guess the caravan delivery helped.

It's what the people voted for, and I got it at a good price. You obviously didn't make a strong enough case against bribing! ;)
 
Jayne, no problem. :goodjob:

I hope we build Bach and go to Democracy, rather than fiddle around with Statue of Liberty and Darwin right now. Corruption is vast, we fear the AI bribig our troops, and Democracy will likely quell unrest in many far away critical cities.

Anyone want to switch Monks Towne, Castle.Jayne and TFalls to Engineers?

Also, we have a HUGE army idling in Scandanavia. :lol:
General? How shall we attack the Spanish?
 
iirc, RC should build it's dip next turn. 8 sacrificial vans await inside the city to build Bachs. I agree we should switch at the next oportunity.

I also agree on switching production to engineers to help build the Great NUF Railway. Then after build dragoons to ship to Persia and Spain.
 
I see Bach and Democracy are well supported by votes and posts. Let us hope that trend continues.

What happened to the Barb Knight we bribed near Marl Downs? The Duchess of Reneaux writes that she fears for her safety, and I agree with her. Time for Dragoon guards here and there. Hawkish, she asks why did our army sit idle in Scandanavia the past 100 years? She weeps the loss of her son and our Dragoons near Jarvik, and pleads that her loss not be without recompense. Many Dragoons have been lost and must be replaced, and many Riflemen sit idle.
 
Regarding switching to Engineers, these seem like possibilities:
Switch improvement to Engineer: Monks.Towne! Castle.Jayne? TFalls...
Switch unit to Engineer: Penguin? Melampyrum Capricornium? Banana.Bay Antioch?

Improvements to continue: Neuma Market of course, Marl.Downs & Reneaux Sewers, Octavia Temple in 7, Legendary Aquaduct PRB, Routskilde Courthouse (sw to Market?), Uppsala Market, many Scandanavian Temples.
Improvements with large investment, so continue to throw good resources after bad: Mordhiemia Market

Finish current build, then Engr: Viborg Dip in 3, Mordhiemia.

Some units were shipped to Jorvik island for the 'Final Push' but perished in the Spanish Ambush. Others were sent to protect Jorvik and Birka. One unit was sent to explore surrounding islands. Other units wait in defense of Barbarians, and for further instruction from our General. And for boats currently building in the area.
 
Thank you for explaining that, My Queen. It would help if I would read, wouldn't it? I see now that you have somehow also replaced our Dip guard in Boreum :goodjob:

I'm going to plan the Caravans later today. Someone needs to study the war unit situation. Since 6 Dragoons have been lost, that means several cities can support fresh troops. I've just checked Routskilde, which had supported a Drogoon. This seems like the time to march one of those Rifles, now in Mulled, over to Hips to rehome. There is a None Rifle in Birke that is available. Kaupang still has 3 Rifles, so you must have sent a different one to be supported by Birke.

The Dip guards seem ok everywhere but Scandanavia. Could someone please study Scandanavia? The Dip guards must be established, and we must again marshall forces by determining which cities anywhere can support war units, which existing units can be quickly rehomed in those, and where to build Dragoons to quickly rehome in the balance?

Also someone must check shipping. I see 2 Caravels near Lindholm, and no Udal Ferry. Rebuilding the Ferry in Banana Bay will work if we can rehome the BB Cannon on holiday in Trondheim. Better yet, let's rehome the new BB Caravel in Lone Bison, eh? If Caravels move 4 it can happily sail there via Udal.
 
Caravans 1660AD

Delhi demand: Silver Salt (/Silk!) ("Not Silk"), Madras same: Silver Silk & Dye. Lahore: Gems Dye (/Coal?). The Indians have deteriorated from Cordial to Receptive, and menace us at Indian Watcher, the SW Elysium island, and our mainland cities of Legendary City and Hipsheim.

Good flow of Foreign Trade Vans - 2 Silver in Indian Watcher.

We have 15 Vans (including 8 for Bach), and another 15 in production.

RC Silk near Delhi: Deliver to Madras Demand, and see if more Silk demand pops up in India again.
Hiding in REGIA CIVITAS: a Diplomat, Elysium Hides, Neuma Copper, FA Coal, Hips Coal, BFL Salt, Beast Salt, Penguin Silk, and LC unknown, 8 Vans.
Indian Watcher: RC Silver and Civvium Silver: deliver both.
Near GG: Hips Silk, Monks Dye, Ebor Silk, Marl.Downs Gems.
That is all 15 :)

The Marl Downs Gems are valuable in two ways: Gems are as good as Gold, and it is from Marl Downs which needs a Route. Lets deliver Gems directly from Marl.Downs to India and kill two birds with the one stone -- Calcutta looks better than Lahore, and we can deliver quickly straight from a ship.

If Indian Silk demand is renewed, rehome the Hips Silk in RC and ship to India. Madras demands Dye, so rehome the Monks Dye in RC and ship to India.

That leaves the Ebor Silk. Shall we give Ebor a route? Or save it for another wonder such as Darwin or Status of Liberty? We all demand Silk(=base arrows): Elysium=81 RC=73 TFalls=14 and LC=17 are all good choices. The actual number of arrows at Max Trade is higher -- TFalls and LC are viable.

Comments on the above plans? Objections?

Domestic Trade routes are needed with focus cities, such as Reneaux. It can be more productive to rehome Vans from small cities into focus cities before delivering to Elysium or REGIA CIVITAS. The Reneaux routes are earning £7, Lindow Moss only £4 per turn. Further, Civvium now has its 3 Routes, earning £17 per turn, excellent, so no more Civ Routes seem needed.

Caravans nearly completed:
Nemo Bay: starving, Irrg GLS! Van in 2, Silver?
Bedfont Lakes: Van 47/50 in 1, Wine? Silk?
Gabba Gabba: IPRB $13, Van in 4, Gold? Wine? Silk?
Beast Flats: IPRB $6, Van in 5, Beads? Cloth?
Penguin: Forest to Elvis, sw Van 35/50 to Engr in 2
Capricornium: sw to Dip 31/30 in 1, st Temple
Prague: Van 44/50 in 2, Silk, needs Ferry Pickup
Dellham: Van 35/50 in 3, Silk or IPRB $11 in 2
  rehome in Reneaux and deliver to Elysium or RC
Mulled Mine: Van 26/50 in 6, Silver? Silk?
  Elvis, starving, problem in 11, ENGR!
Hipsheim: Van 18/50 in 6, Copper
Fort Anarchy: Van 47/50 in 1, Beads? Cloth?

Other ideas?
 
Am I the only one bothered by the Indian encroachment? They are in our face. Catapult trained on Indian Watcher. Elephant and Knight sitting on Legendary City's Iron. Elephant fouling our plans to settle the island SW of Elysium.
Can we expel them all? Will that impact our ability to get maps of Spain? After delivery of one more Van outside Dehli, do we care how they react?
 
Is it size 1 or more? I can't see on the map. If it's a size one city, I think we should expel it asap, because if they sneak attack us, we might lose the city, if they refuse and declare war - we have an oppurtunity to destroy it before they can make a move. If it's size two or larger, I think we could risk losing one pop and a defender to deliver our caravans, and not ask them to move the catapult. If we're lucky, a catapult might not even take out a fortified RM, but are we willing to risk it?
