This may already be irrelevant by the time I write it, but just in case...
(and for future reference)

It seems like it'd be better to fortify and heal the warrior - than it is to move to the hills.

Hills offer 50% bonus, so we'd have 2 hit points at =+50% (= 3)

If we fortify, then we get 3 hit points at +25% (= 3.75)
Unless I'm missing something?

Of course, running like a scared rabbit to the other side of the river is also a possibility.

However, if I understand C_H's comment - he's already fortified, so this is a moot discussion. Once our warrior is healed - I 100% support moving onto the hill.

 

[classical_hero]

That will happen if the warrior has not been attacked and lost some hitpoints.

Had a request to put some screenshots in this thread as well.

So here's one, using my new non-civfanatics image hosting.

[General_W]

Classical Hero made a good point (in the "State of the Empire" thread) – even better as I've thought about it more.
I'm not sure why I didn't use this thread to post my updates from the beginning… (everyone was posting their "term 2" threads – and I just climbed on that band wagon!)

Anyway, per C_H's comments, I will now be posting my updates here.
(I will still continue posting them in my "State of the Empire" thread – so that my whole term is all in one place, if anyone needs to look at the history.)

Final note: For the remainder of my term – please post any discussion about what to do with workers or citizens in the Domestic thread.

Feel free to post any comments or questions about the save information here.

Hopefully that's not confusing.

Viva MIA!

We are currently building:
Athens: Warrior (done in 3 turns). *Growth last turn
Black Hole: Worker (done in 4 turns)
Heron: Curragh (done in 5 turns)

Note: Athens citizen placement was stupid oversight on my part. Discussion on how to fix this is currently underway in the Domestic department.

Our cities are working 9 tiles – 3 of which are unimproved.

We have two workers:
Worker – Rambuchan: Mining the BG east of Athens. Finished this turn, can move next turn.
Worker - Jarom: Mining the BG west of Athens. ETA: 3 turns

Research: Continued work on the Wheel. Est time: 3 turns


Military Summary:

We have 4 military units:
3 Warriors
1 Curragh

We have explored 216 tiles – 6.8% of the world.
85.5% of our exploration has been on land – the rest is coastal.

We have 2 Assyrian warriors lurking in the north. Our warrior can not see them
Military advisor warns of Barbarians near Black Hole.

Our Warrior-Ligurian Reaper is exploring along the Ivory Coast – a bit inland – he has encountered a Celtic (KISS) Warrior – the KISS warrior apparently followed us, instead of moving towards are cities.
This warrior discovered a supply of incense!

Our Warrior-Assyrian Bane has moved onto a mountain, and revealed much terrain. Most notably:
A supply of Spices!
A goody hut!

We have an Iroquois (Doughnut) Curragh off the coast of Athens.
We have a Celt (KISS) warrior near our Warrior-Ligurian Reaper

Battles:
None

Current Plans in Motion:

Unless otherwise instructed…
I plan to move our Athenian Citizen to the Forest tile like he was supposed to.
I plan to build a warrior – then a settler in Athens.
I plan to try poping the hut with our Warrior-Assyrian Bane.
I plan to move onto the hill to the west with our Warrior–Ligurian Reaper
I plan to leave our 3rd warrior in Black Hole for Military Police duties until the worker is completed – or we get a road connected.

Request for Action:
Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry: Any orders for the Doughnuts?
(hopefully the "accept-send" I did was ok. turn was played before your post Fe)

Domestic Ministry: How will we deal with my mistake on the Athenian Citizen? (again, so so sorry) I've posted some comments on dealing with this in the domestic thread.
Should Worker-Rambuchan begin roading to Black Hole next turn?

Defense Ministry: Should we pop that northern Hut with Warrior-Assyrian Bane?
Is the move to the hill the best one for Warrior-Ligurian Reaper?

Anything else I’ve missed?

Until next time,
I remain your faithful servant,

Friends, Greeks, Fellow MIAers… the state of our Empire is: Busy!


Headlines:
Sarmatian Warriors Swarm in the North! Assyrian Bane division stands ready to defend.

Scientists Rejoice over Acquisition of the Secrets of Warrior Code and Ceremonial Burial. Deal with KISS comes through.

Citizens Across the Empire Celebrate the Raising of the Luxury Rate!


Domestic Summary:

We have 3 cities, 11 gold, and 41 culture.

We are set at 80% science, 20% Luxury, and 0% Economy – for a Net gain of 1 gold per turn.
(KISS income of 1 gold per turn)
* I knew we would need to raise Lux to 20% to control populace in Athens when it grows without a warrior there for MP duties… so I opened the domestic window – and discovered that (because we’re no longer working the ivory tile) we’ll get the wheel in 3 turns at 80 or 90%. Sending the extra 10% to treasury only netted us 2 extra gpt – while going 20% Lux allows me to get our 3rd warrior off MP duty and out exploring. So I went with raising in the Lux rate a little early. Discussion?

We are currently building:
Athens: Settler (done in 6 turns).
Black Hole: Worker (done in 2 turns)
Heron: Curragh (done in 3 turns)

Our cities are working 9 tiles – 3 of which are unimproved.
Citizens are working these tiles:
Athens: R.I. Wheat / R. I. Cow / M. Bonus Grassland
Black Hole: Wheat / Forest
Heron: Bonus Grassland (about to be mined by Rambuchan)

We have two workers:
Worker - Jarom: Moved into position to begin roading desert on way to Black Hole
Worker – Rambuchan: Mining the BG west of Athens. ETA: 2 turns

Research: Continued work on the Wheel. Est time: 3 turns


Military Summary:

We have 4 military units:
3 Warriors:
Assyrian Bane – Veteran
Ligurian Reapers – Regular
TBA – Regular
1 Curragh:
The Snarling Narwhal

Known Enemies:
We are surrounded by 3 Sarmation warriors in the north. They were poped from the hut.
We have 2 Assyrian warriors lurking in the north. Our warrior can not see them.
Military advisor warns of Barbarians near Black Hole.
Celt (KISS) warrior is lurking along our Ivory Coast
Iroquois (D’nut) Curragh is sailing west off the coast of Heron.

Battles:
None

Exploration Update:

We have explored 245 tiles – 7.7% of the world.
84.1% of our exploration has been on land – the rest is coastal.

Our Warrior-Ligurian Reaper has discovered another Hut along the Ivory Coast – and more Ivory!


Current Plans in Motion:

Unless otherwise instructed…
I plan to keep all cities building and working tiles as they currently are.
I plan to head east to the hill with our TBA Warrior from Black Hole.
I plan to try poping the hut with our Warrior-Ligurian Reapers along the Ivory Coast.
I plan to heal (if wounded) with our Warrior-Assyrian Bane

Request for Action:
Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry: Any orders for the Doughnuts?
Keep easterly heading with the Curragh?

Domestic Ministry: What do you think of the 20% Luxury plan? Should I send the Black Hole Warrior back and get the 2 gpt while I can (before Athens grows?)
What should worker-Rambuchan do when done mining the BG between Athens and Heron?

Defense Ministry: Should we pop that Ivory Coast Hut with Warrior-Ligurian Reapers?

Anything else I’ve missed?

So have the screenshots stopped recently?

 

[General_W]

I have turn 32 sitting in my mailbox - but I'm not going to open or play it until we decide what we are going to do with Team Doughnuts.
I believe Fe3333au has updated the Looking Glass for the start of turn 32... but I don't think he included any screenshots. I'll have a whole slew of new ones for you today - once I get orders on dealing with the D'nuts!

Friends, Greeks, Fellow MIAers… the state of our Empire is: Late!

Headlines:
President says Athenian citizens are Rebels – refuse to work tiles they are assigned too!

Citizens of Athens claim President is a moron.

No Deal with the Doughnuts! Talks collapse amid unreasonable demands.


Domestic Summary:

We have 3 cities, 12 gold, and 43 culture.

We are set at 60% science, 20% Luxury, and 20% Economy – for a Net gain of 4 gold per turn.
(KISS income of 1 gold per turn)
* Due to working the Ivory a turn longer than necessary (or is that 2 turns longer than necessary now?) I can lower the science rate to 60% and still get The Wheel in 2 turns. (raising it to 100% wouldn’t get it any faster than 2 turns)

We are currently building:
Athens: Settler (done in 5 turns).
Black Hole: Worker (done next turn)
Heron: Curragh (done next turn)

Our cities are working 9 tiles – 2 of which are unimproved.
Citizens are working these tiles:
Athens: R.I. Wheat / R. I. Cow / M. Bonus Grassland *for real - I hope!
Black Hole: Wheat / Forest
Heron: M. Bonus Grassland

We have two workers:
Worker - Jarom: Began roading desert on way to Black Hole
Worker – Rambuchan: Finished Mining the BG west of Athens. Can start road next turn.

Research: Continued work on the Wheel. Est time: 2 turns


Military Summary:

We have 4 military units:
3 Warriors:
Warrior - Assyrian Bane – Veteran
Warrior - Ligurian Reapers – Regular
Ares Warrior - Butes – Regular
1 Curragh:
The Snarling Narwhal

Known Enemies:
We are surrounded by 2 Sarmation warriors in the north. They were poped from the hut.
We have 2 Assyrian warriors lurking in the north. Our warrior can not see them.
Military advisor warns of Barbarians near Black Hole.
Celt (KISS) warrior is lurking along our Ivory Coast
Iroquois (D’nut) Curragh is sailing west off the coast of Heron.

Battles:
It appears we may have been attacked by one of the Sarmation warriors. We were unharmed.

Exploration Update:

We have explored 269 tiles – 8.4% of the world.
81.8% of our exploration has been on land – the rest is coastal.

Our Ares Warrior- Butes had discovered a hut North of the hill that is NE of Black Hole.

Current Plans in Motion:

Unless otherwise instructed…
I plan to keep all cities building and working tiles as they currently are.
I plan to head back into Black Hole with our Ares Warrior – Butes.
I plan to try poping the hut with our Warrior-Ligurian Reapers along the Ivory Coast.
I plan to keep heading North with our Warrior-Assyrian Bane

Request for Action:
Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry: Any orders for the Doughnuts? For KISS?
Keep easterly heading with the Curragh?

Domestic Ministry: Somehow (why oh why oh why?!??) our worker did not get moved. I can’t tell you how exasperated I am. (probably almost as much as all of you are!) I double checked, even made a screenshot (which shows it correctly) – so who knows what I did. Bottom line – what do we do now? We’re gonna build our settler on schedule, but be 1 food short of growing on time. Time to get out the spreadsheets again.

What do we want to build next in Heron?
What do we want to build next in Black Hole?

Defense Ministry: Should we still head back to Black Hole with our Ares Warrior - Butes? Seems like poping the hut is pretty risky with our unguarded city right there/

Anything else I’ve missed?

So Regarding the possible spoiler info I posted on that tech thread....
After I removed the image, I PMed it to RegentMan so he could see exactly what we're talking about.
Here's the response I got:

Thank you for the prompt contact; ybbor did PM me. Ginger_Ale and I are currently discussing about it, so expect a decision soon. I'm glad Team M.I.A. follows the accidental espionage rule so well!

Way to go team MIA!

Warrior – Ligurian Reapers Moves North, Unscathed by Barbarians in the West!



Domestic Summary:

We have 3 cities, 20 gold, and 53 culture.

We are set at 90% science, 10% Luxury, and 0% Economy – for a Net gain of 1 gold per turn.
(KISS income of 1 gold per turn)

Research: Continued work on Mysticism. Est time: 5 turns


We are currently building:
Athens: Granary (done in 11 turns)
Black Hole: Worker (done in 2 turns)
Heron: Warrior (done in 4 turns) *Worker built last turn

Our cities are working 9 tiles – 1 of which is unimproved.

Citizens are working these tiles:
Athens: R. I. Cow / R. I. Wheat / M. R. Bonus Grassland
Black Hole: Wheat / R Bonus Grassland
Heron: R. M. Bonus Grassland

We have four workers:
Worker - Jarom: Chopping Forest N. of Athens (ETC: 2 turns)

Worker – Imnzerg: Moved to Wheat by Black Hole. (can take new orders next turn)

Military Summary:

We have 5 military units:
3 Warriors:
Warrior - Assyrian Bane – Veteran
Warrior - Ligurian Reapers – Regular
Ares Warrior - Butes – Regular

2 Curraghs:
The Snarling Narwhal - Regular
The Trusty Guppy - Regular

Our Military Advisor reports we are:
Compared to KISS: Average
Compared to D’nuts: Average

Known Enemies:
Celt (KISS) warrior is spotted north of Black Hole. He is wounded and maybe heading for an un-poped hut?
Iroquois (D’nut) Curragh is sailing west off the Ivory Coast.
We have 2 Assyrian Barbarians from the hut in the north/west. Only 1 is currently visible. 1 is just out of sight to the south of our Warrior Ligurian Reapers.

Battles:
Maybe Ligurian Reapers survived a barbarian attack? No damage and no promotion.

Exploration Update:

No percentages until I get the correct version of CivAssist installed.

Our Curragh – Snarling Narwhal made it to the New World in the East.

Current Plans in Motion:

Unless otherwise instructed…
I plan to keep all cities building and working tiles as they currently are.
I plan to head out of Black Hole with our Ares Warrior – Butes to escort ahead of our Settler.
I plan to avoid the Assyrian Barbs in the North-West with our Warrior-Ligurian Reapers if possible.
I plan to keep heading North with our Warrior-Assyrian Bane.
I pan to head North with the Snarling Narwhal

Request for Action:
Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry:
Any orders for the Doughnuts? For KISS?
I’m worried about that KISS warrior poping barbs from that hut North of Black hole… any diplomatic way we could ask them to please not do that?

Domestic Ministry:
What should we do first with our worker - Imnzerg? Road or irrigate the Wheat?
Should our new Worker – M4 Sherman road the BG first?

Defense Ministry:
North or South with the Snarling Narwhale? I received no explicit orders, and went with North – but it’s not too late to change if you wish.

Any plans if the KISS warrior does pop barbs from that hut North of Black hole?

I’m sorry I didn’t see you orders on where to move the Ligurian Reapers until after I had played the save. (I played the save immediately after my post saying I would do so) Please take this as a gentle reminder to not delay in posting orders here for me. (or the future DP) – I assumed there was not going to be anything from you. (In retrospect, of course, the jungle move may have been wiser – but I wasn’t that worried about just one barb and opted for exploration)


Anything else I’ve missed?

Until next time,
I remain your faithful servant,

President General W

I plan keep heading North (and maybe a little East) with our Warrior-Ligurian Reapers.
I plan to stay out of sight of the KISS borders with our Warrior-Assyrian Bane – see if I can scout the edges without being noticed.
I pan to head North with the Snarling Narwhal.

Request for Action:
Ministers! Please give me your orders for the next turn in the “Instructions for the President” thread!

Foreign Ministry:
Any orders for the Doughnuts? For KISS?
Any reason we should tell KISS that our warrior can see their border?

Domestic Ministry:
What should Black Hole Build Next?
What should our Worker – Jarom do after chopping the Athens forest? (he won't be able to move till after the next turn – but we can start thinking now)

Defense Ministry:

Any other orders for Warrior – Ligurian Reapers?


Anything else I’ve missed?

Until next time,
I remain your faithful servant,
