[RegentMan]

Please research according to this list:

1. Mass Production
2. Motorized Transportation
3. Flight
4. Fission
5. Computers

Should one of our free techs be fission or computers, just bypass it on the list.

 

[RegentMan]

Continue "building" wealth, and follow governor TimBentley's example of pre-building for a tank should we require these weapons of war. An airport would be most appreciative too, after which, the FAF could be created.

1. Wealth
2. Tanks (if needed)
3. Airport
4. Bombers

 

[TimBentley]

There's some network maintenance scheduled for tonight, so the turnchat is delayed until Saturday at 2 PM CST.

 

[Furiey]

Please stop the chat if we get to the stage where we are ready to move in on the other continent as the sooner we are able to cut the Japanese down to size the better.

Luxury:
Use the slider or specialists, whichever is most cost and production effective to keep our cities from rioting. .

Science:

Keep science high to achieve the techs in the minimum number of turns using deficit spending if we can afford it. Always check over the last few turns and reduce the science rate if it is possible to do so.

In case of emergency it is allowable to reduce science slightly to gain some additional gold necessary.
Do not let our treasury run dry!

Treasury Spending:
Upgrades of Galleons to Transports (750 gold), Elite Galley to Transport (105 gold), any necessary spending should allow us to keep a cushion of at least 1000 gold to be used in emergencies and potential rushes for our future foothold in Japan.

Wonders:
We’ve built all we can, when appropriate start a prebuild for the UN in Styx.

Great Leaders:
Next Military Leader: Use to rush an improvement in Istkahr, eg: a Factory or save for a rush during the Japan invasion.

Scientific Leader: Please save for the modern age wonders.

Colonies:
Please use non-German or French slaves to build colonies if we need to.

Workers:
Natives, French and German Slaves may be joined to cities if they can be freed from other tasks, please stacks workers for efficiently railing/improving as necessary.

The DP may use Workers to road/rail to the front lines or blockade as needed by Minister of Defence or as necessary, just make sure the Workers are left in a safe position or adequately protected. Swap blockading workers that have finished railing with blockading troops on unrailed tiles.

Please note: there are gaps in the wall (one on the tundra tip in the SE, the Iron hill in the S,
Keep our Workers safe, but that shouldn’t mean hiding in cities!

 

[ravensfire]

Please maintain the Wall of Fear. If you get bored, swap workers and other units to build additional Fortresses around the area. There is a group of workers in the West that is building a railroad around the continent, please continue that.

There are various troops spread throughout the land on Barbarian watch. Yes, even now, we have barbarians.

The troops are in your hands!

-- Ravensfire, Minister of Defense

 

[DaveShack]

Build: destroyers or cruisers at DP's discretion

Preturn save: Turn 0
Turn 5: 1615 AD
Ending save: Turn 11

We learned mass production in turn 5 and motorized transportation in turn 9; flight is due in 4 turns. We got Socrates as a SGL upon researching mass production.
Japan learned corporation in turn 6, so we sold it to Persia for their world map (after having sold our territory map to Rome for their world map) and 22g (they would have learned it that turn anyways). We then sold our world map to Japan for 19g.

We have 2 tank armies, with 6 tanks coming next turn. With 5 destroyers and 11 transports, we should start moving our fleet to the place from which we wish to begin our Japanese invasion.
