Plan Civvium Trireme

[GaryNemo]

We have 690,000 people in 18 cities, Treasury of 217 gold, 30,00,70%
It appears the Civvium Trireme will be built in a scant 2 turns.

We need to discuss a few implementation details quickly. Trireme goes which way while awaiting Crew? What Crew? Diplomats? Dellham Settler? CJ Archer? Builds in Boreum? LN Settlers?

I'm leaning to send the Dip, Archer, Warrior, scout West briefly, then head East, spend half what we earn on IPRB,
and that ainwood might run a poll to name our Trireme

Jayne has granted us an extra day. Vote only 1 each A B C D & E. She moves in about 24 hours.

...only if there's a massive swing in the voting and I get to play military advisor again


However, I could always write a program that randomly generates names....

P.S.

I think that the LC diplomat is too far away from the trireme at the moment. I would therefore favour puting that on a trireme to be built in one of the northern cities (perhaps even LC itself). In the interim, how 'bout sending it (diplo) along the coast to the north-west, to make sure that the indians haven't landed up there?

P.S. Why haven't we seen a single barb yet?

These items have a clear majority:

Send the GG warrior to the Civvium Trireme.
Send an LN Settler on the next boatload.
The Trireme can sail 2-3 turns, then come back for crew.
A. Begin heading East, to the island, return to BL for crew.
B. We need two more Diplomats.
C. Keep tax rate 30,00,70% Max Science!
D. Spend half what we earn ($19/2=10) on IPRB.
E. Keep a balance of $250 gold

The CJ Archer is not needed here. I think people want it to accompany the Dellham Settler to found a new Chryshe city. I'm not exactly sure where that city is, but I believe MonkE, Rout and Jayne all agree.

The Diplomat is an interesting case. Four people voted for the LC Diplomat to head for the Trireme. I feel it would be the strongest unit for the crew. But others think it is necessary elsewhere, such as to crew another Trireme. I'm not clear how or where is is possible to build another Trireme.

I am deathly afraid the AI will get Cop's Mike's or Leonardo, so personally prefer Caravans.
