Term 1 - Nominations for Director of Expansion

[Chieftess]

Director of Expansion - Decides on where to settle with settlers. This is a tactical position.

This was once done by the Domestic Advisor.

This sounds like an interesting new position. I nomate myself, and obviously accept.

 

[Black_Hole]

I nominate Furiey

 

[Ashburnham]

Debate Question
#1. Obviously this office will have to work closely with the Director of Infrastructure. How do you foresee this relationship working? How much (if any) will the decisions of the DoI affect your choice of city placement?

 

[Chieftess]

#2 - Will you create a priority list for the cities? (i.e., incase the AI settles in one location, settle here). This would also affect DoI.

 

[snipelfritz]

To answer your questions,

#1. I will work with the DoI to find the easiest way to optimize our infrastructure, however my decisions will be more strongly influenced by other factors, i.e. resources, luxeries, and terrain.

#2. I don't see why not. I would, through a culmination of each possible sites effects/costs, find the best possible choice and rank them as such. This also describes my decision process (which will also include a lot of citizen feedback).

 

[Furiey]

Thank you Black Hole for the nomination but I must decline.

 

[Provolution]

Would your city [INSERT SNIPELFRITZ CITY] be placed at a relatively better spot than the official before and after you in the city naming ranking, or would you be 100 % objective here?

 

[snipelfritz]

No, I wouldn't even consider the name of the city when I am placing it.
