North Province Build Queues

[Cyc]

Located in the Government sub-forum, theNorth Province thread contains the following proposed build queues:

Gunningheim - Library (18), Granary (20), Barracks (10)

Naerva - Library (14), Granary (20), Barracks (10)

Valhalla - Settler (3), Pikeman (5), Pikeman (5)

Kuhkaff - Pikeman (4), Settler (5), Horseman (5)

Both workers building road out to Gunningheim and the furs should remain doing so. Please connect both furs. We require the Worker being produced in Bavaria to build road out of Kuhkaff, west to the "A" location of a previous discussion/poll. The tile North of Kuhkaff should be roaded, then the tile NW of that, then the tiles west to the "A" location.

These build queues are up for discussion. If you would like to see changes in these build queues, please post your suggestions here. No build queues for this Province will be final until they are posted in the t/c/ Instruction Thtread.

One thing to remember. The North Province is the Tundra, which will limit the city growth (especially if we allow other cities to use the grasslands). With an ICS build, those cities won't have a lot of income to support a large number of improvements. Some will only get to size 3 without a harbor. We could have some build settlers for the sole purpose of ICS in that region (maybe 7 more cities on the tundra, only taking up tundra tiles - but that's another discussion for another day. ).

The libraries, I agree with. Maybe a temple (and another city 2 tiles SW of Denver using ICS) to increase cultural output.

I'm sorry CT. The coffee must have saturated my grey matter. hat is ICS again?

As far as growth, you're right. Tundra is not the best environment. Naerva was a city placement I didn't agree with, but at least we'll get some harbor action in there. Gunningheim, once it expands, has some growth potential. I'd like to get these two cities halfway caught up to the rest of the Nation and prepared for their harsh environment so they can start knocking out some Military units.

ICS = Infinite City Sprawl.

Thank you, CT.

Build Queue Change
Because we will be going into Monarchy and declaring WAR this t/c, I have decided to change the build queues for 2 cities in the North Province:

Valhalla's first unit in the queue will change from a Horseman (3) to a Settler (3). This will not only give us a new city quicker, but also lessen the chance of rioting in Valhalla. With Anarchy and War and the growth rate of Valhalla, a pop reduction is called for.

Kuhkaff's first unit in the queue will change from a Horseman (4) to a Pikeman (4). The Pikeman will remain garrisoned in Kuhkaff as one of its currently garrisoned Spearman escorts the Settler from Valhalla to its new location (hopefully "A" from the last poll). This will leave the Pikeman in Kuhkaff with the remaining Spearman. This Spearman will escort the Settler that Kuhkaff will produce next. Please note the following sentance!

Optimum time for revolution would be on turn four, AFTER the Pikeman in Kuhkaff is built.
