1. Move one of the archers in the pyrenees to dfend the alps pass from italy to switzerland.
2. Build 2 triremes from liverpool once that horse archer is finished. We are england. We need a strong fleet.
3. Build a fishing boat in birmingham before finishing the heroic epic. Its starving. We need to get it fed.
4. Move that trireme in the channel to attack the roman one in the bay of biscay RIGHT NOW.
5. Iberia and the isles are mostly finished. Anything that isnt is probably not very crucial. Move ALL workers to the york/amsterdam area right now. Make sure to pasture those pigs near york, and as soon as we can build workshops build some around amsterdam especially, but york too.
6. As plymouth (plysit? whomouth? Whoville?) grows, start lettiung it work those hills near it and let london work those fish (or whatever resource is off the coast).
7. Build roads to both amsterdam and antium. We need to be able to move troops faster.
8. Mongolia has a second city to the north of scapa flow. Can we get some intel on it? They might even have settled iceland by now. They have had 3 terms (90 turns) to grow and expand. Still not that much of a threat, but it would be nice to make plans for either vassalization or conquest in the future.
9. Egypt and india are the score leaders. SO WHAT??!! They are the only ones that we have a chance of befriending besides the vikings and carthage, and i would rather conquer those 2 in the later game. Prioritize befriending them, since everyone insists on having allies. I would prefer to have none.
10. Keep birmingham as the heroic epic city. Right now they are producing the most hammers in our empire, and it will be a powerful epic city. I really see no point in changing it now. Its in a good position and is close to being finished.
11. Make sure london works the money bag tile in the future when it grows.
12. Build some farms near amsterdam so that it can continue to grow. Unlike most other cities, it does not have a growth resource nearby.
13. In liverpool, we are working a tile directly south of the city. Stop working it. Start working the one that is 1 tile south of that tile (2 south of the city). It has the same commerce, and more food. Much more. With that, we could whip out some units.
14. Mine the silver mine south of CN in north africa. Pray that our culture can keep it.
15. Make any trades that are advantageous to us, no matter who they are with, but prioritize trades with egypt/india.
16. Tech= Machinery-engineering-fuedalism-CS-Paper-guilds. The tech pic doesnt show too much, but thats what i can make out from it. Once that is finished, start researching any old techs that we have left behind and havent traded for yet. But make it a priority to trade for those tcehs we are leaving behind.
17. ON GERMANY- Aim to befriend them, and try to vassalize them in the future. If it doesnt work, then we can make plans to conquer them in the future if needed.
18. NO WONDERS! Once we have peace we can TALK about them. Right now we dont have the time nor the capacity to build them. Troops and infra is what we need.
19. NO MORE WORKERS. We have plenty. Once we make peace, MAYBE 2-3 workjers, but no morte than that, especially in wartime. What we have now should be enough to build up gaul in good enough time.
20. Cuyll is right. We need a library in RY, as well as everywhere else.
21. ON WAR- We had a perfectly good compromise proposed by Ravus a while ago. It involved using 2 armies. While the first army would attack neapolis (which can be taken sooner than expected) then swing down to take cumae and medialanum, a second army would be built in antium as losses from the first army piled up, it would make room for more troops to be built without straining teh economy too much more. Then the second army would attack settia at the same time as when the first army gets there, and they merge. After that we can take rome if we want to. Look at previous Ravus posts for a more detailed version.
22. OUR ECONOMY CAN TAKE THE EXTRA CITIES!
23. Maybe we should consider building the palace in RY in the future. It would be effective, as well as reducing the colony maintenence by quite a bit, as well as the distance one as well. Just a thought. I would rather not, but if the economy starts to collapse we may need to do it.
24. The war is the one thing i will not compromise on. The plan from ravus IS THE COMPROMISE. I will not compromise farther. If you do not accept that, then i will call for a general strike. I understand that would be disastrous in wartime, but not taking italy will be even more disastrous in the future.
25. Ilduce you are wrong. We can afford more cities. neapolis will pay for itslef and probbaly even help pay for another city. It is already well developed. Dont pillage anything, and after 5 turns of anarchy after taking it we have a great city. If you want a look at cumae and neapolis LOOK AT PREVIOUS PICS OF THEM. tHERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PICS THROUGHOUT THE THREAD OF THEM, SEVERAL HAVE BEEN RECENT IN THE GAME. IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOOK THROUGH THE THREAD FOR THEM, YOU DONT WANT THEM ENOUGH.
26. That should be all for now. I will comment more as more issues come up.
