[Zwelgje]

Ooooh the Spanish are so dead!!!
Indeed we need to decide what wonder to build. Hoover is nice but seems not necessary at the moment as we don't have any factories. Statue seems nice but also Suffrage...
We need a poll!!!
Shall I take care of that?

 

[Jayne]

Yes please Civ1!!! The last poll was pretty much tied, but then no-one else was building stuff we want! Also, we'll have Cure for Cancer within 3 turns

 

[Zwelgje]

I've been checking out the game.
Nice river 3NE of Bilbao and roads near Valencia and Cordoba. We can put a spy on the river or the roads and explore Spanish inlands. From the embassy we know they've got 7 cities, we can see 5 on their main continent and I would be surprised if they've got a city on another continent. The 2 remaining cities should be inland, at least there should be enough space for them...

Excellent growth, My Queen. And we can imagine Madrid is in there somewhere. The Explorer could prove useful, also as dragon bait. Do we want any Cruisers?   Our enemies are stealing us blind.

Although we have "Discoveries in 2.5 Turns", due to Freight deliveries over Rail our rate could be much higher than that. We discovered Steel & Machine.Tools in the past 6 turns.

-GaryNemo, your Domestic Advisor.

 

[GaryNemo]

Good morning. It's pretty quiet here. I was wondering, is it a good idea to be building all of those Stock Exchanges? Or should we begin building something else? Like Freight? Or Weapons?

Marl Downs & Neuma should really switch to Harbor. Routs really needs Roads, but first the Irrigation so it can WLTK grow. Kaupand RB is critical, Food is nearly full.

Any Ideas or Objections?

But what about the rest of the world of NUF? Stock Exchanges? What should I poll?

 

[Zwelgje]

Stock exchanges are nice but I've seen we're not building that many vans so my vote would go to build some of those. Maybe not even for trade routes but vans rehomed in RC to get huge amounts of money or vans to build wonders.
Stock exchange in RC and Elysium are necessary though for extra trade.

 

[Jayne]

I agree RC and Elysium definately need stock exchanges, but what would you change Reneaux and Civvium to without wasting shields. With Neuma and MD, banks would let them generate almost as much money as RC, making them excellent to trade with India.

 

[Leowind]

Without being able to actually look at the game, I would say RC and Elysium definitely want Stock Ex., and Jaynes' point about Neuma and MD seems well made. Although so does GN's about Neuma needing an acqueduct. Growth or money, which do we need most? Whichever is built in Neuma, I strongly suggest the other option immediately to follow. Otherwise more of an emphasis on caravans would seem in order. but again, if a city is already building an improvement, we must switch to another improvement or lose shields. I'd rather finish the stock ex or switch to another improvement than lose the shields.

 

[GaryNemo]

We don't need to switch and waste shields.
Perhaps we are mixing up Neuma and Kaupang:

Kaupang=8: Food nearly Full, RB $100 Aquaduct
Neuma=15: growing, sw Bank to Harbor PRB $56 to grow

These are both extremely clear to me. The question is, what to build next? Neuma Bank appears fine. Kaupang perhaps the sewer?

Do we want more weapons? Cavalry? More Transports? Our Foreign Trade deliveries have really fallen off, but perhaps that is not a great concern? I'm thinking of pouring Frt into Wonders. Perhaps 36 Frt: The AI has started Women's Sufferage. Hoover Dam will only become more crucial. Cure for Cancer is my top priority for growth. If we could somehow prevent the AI from stealing our tech, we would have more time to build Wonders.

If you look at the Change Wonder Build Options, it is huge: also Statue.o. Liberty, Eiffel.Tower, and United.Nations.

 

[Jayne]

We have a Wonder problem. Indians could build Eiffel and Womens Suffrage next turn!

Please look at the Wonder thread for further discussion.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Not both in one turn. I posted more in the Wonder thread.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I was looking at the railroad we should build to get the rail bonus between Elysium and RC. We have it one way already, but need it the other way. In doing so, I noticed something weird.

When I loaded the turn, RC had 3 trade routes at +11 each. I looked into Elysium three trade routes +16 each. I went back to RC, the three trade routes were now +12 each. I loaded the turn again and hit F1, it shows Elysiums trade at 107, then I went into the city and it shows it as 117, after going to the city I hit F1 again and now it's 117. So, it seems that the city needs to be viewed for any updates to take affect. I'm not sure if this is just for the reports or would affect actual production.

Anyway, after just flying through all the cities production it went up even more.

Here's what our F5 report showed when the turn was first loaded.

And what it was after going through all the cities.

BTW, I believe this is the path we need to build railroads on to get the per turn bonus. It will make each route in RC jump from a +12 to a +16, so it's 12 extra trade per turn for RC.

[Jayne]

It's quiet round here. I'm guessing no more will be said, so I may try and play this evening around 1930GMT. I'll hopefully do about 10 turns.

 

[Jayne]

I'm starting to play now. I'll try and at least post the savegame later tonight.
