Welcome to Edo, Eastern Province of Japanatica Empire!

Short history of the province:

Edo Province was established in 110 AD by official goverment of Japanatica. In the time it was the most eastern province of Japanatica bordering with Roman Empire and facing certain war. It included four cities: Odawara, Shorin-Ryu, En'Gha/Ryleh (now En'Gha) and Corrino. In 510 AD Duckburg was established as 5th city. The first appointed governor was Invy who also named the province (Edo) and selected Odawara as capital of Edo. Deputy Governor was Epimethius. In Term 3 elections Invy won the governor's chair and elected deputy is Noldodan; the pair is currently in power of the province...

Governor: Invy
Deputy: Noldodan

Capital of Province: Odawara

To be updated...(going to add some charts, top cities)
 
Term 3 summary (890AD) - MAIN GOALS:

1. Get 3 largest cities to 15 shield per turn
- Shorin-Ryu: 22/27 *Japanatica top production city together with Zojoji
- Odawara 18/25
- En'Gha 14/17 *just waiting for 1 more mine
- Corrino 13/16 *Corino has grown into great city and will be able to get
15 shields in 3 turns after it grows.


2. Get Corrino to 7-9 population
Corrino is at 8 population, grows in 3 turns. It is 2nd top commercial producer of Japanatica behind our capital for just 1 gold piece, tho Corrino does produce more raw commerce but also loses more due to corruption.

3. Solve unhapiness problems to allow cities to get 12 population
Markeplaces, Cathedrals, Universities have been built in all cities, Banks will be in all cities after next TC (Shorin-Ryu is building a Bank atm)
Population:
- Shorin-Ryu 11; Odawara 12; En'Gha 12; Corrino 8; Duckburg 3


4. Find mayors for all cities

Corrino: JackA
En'Gha: ali
Shorin-Ryu: Gregski
odawara: Epimethius
Duckburg: none yet


5. Poll the Province name
Poll has been finished Official province name is: Edo.
Poll results: 17 YES, 1 NO, 2 ABSTAIN.


6. Make space and infrastructure for newly established city
-All jungles are cleared and tiles worked. Barracks, Temple and Library
have been built. Ducburg is currently at 3 population.


Misc

- We have built a Wonder! Smith's Trading Company is in Shorin-Ryu. Odawara is destined to win the poll for building Forbidden Palace.

- The province got new city Duckburg in 520 AD. The idea for settling was
proposed by me but SirDonIII's site won the poll :).

- During Roman war all province cities were producing military units and
after victory infrastructure was built, thanks to Golden Age almost all
improvements were build.

- Conquered Roman cities were part of Edo province this term and they will belong new province next term.

- New provincial borders have passed the poll and Doomsville (ex Antium) is
set to join Edo province in Term 4.

I'll update this post until new governor is elected. I don't intend to candidate for any positions this Term due to lack of time. I am going to be active citizen as before and I'll probably spend more time in Office for statistics. Thanks to everyone who have helped me governing this beautiful province.
 
Corrino: Horseman (1) -> Pikeman (4) -> Pikeman (6)

Shorin-Ryu: Pikeman (1) -> Horseman (3) -> Horseman (3) -> Horseman (3)

En'Gha: Horseman (3) -> Pikeman (3) -> Horseman (3) -> Pikeman (3)

Odawara: Settler (3) -> Courthouse (9) (as prebuild for Cathedral)

Workers

*Try to achieve these goals, use Worker force as you see best.

- Mine 2 Odawara hills. (DO NOT clear yet last Odawara forest)
- Mine 2 En'Gha hills.
- Irrigate grassland (under forest) at Corrino when the forest is chopped. Mine if we get bonus grassland.
- Mine 2 Shorin-Ryu hills. Try to get 15 shields in Shorin.
 
Well, I don't like the name, but that's true of any name not picked by me. :p

Congrats on winning another term, Invy.

And I was wondering if I could get full control over Odawara's build queue. Since mayor is my only real position, I'd like to be more than just an advisor for it.

invy cant change the constitution epi,
also if you remember the JR over the naming office/non constituional offices that also applies here,
goverment positions not in the constitution cannot post legal instructions
plus thats a really bad idea, you arent elected thus you cant be taken out of office
 
I'd do all the gubernatorial work for the town, like queues, workers, etc. As it is now I simply advice him on what to build and where to put things. I'd submit it in the city thread before each chat.
 
Thanks Epi.

You are in control of Odawara as a mayor and you should post instructions here before TCs. I was going to ask you to play more active role in this term because you didn't post in short period of term 2 while i was governor.
If you can convince me that your suggestions are better then mine then they will be accepted. This goes for future plans in Odawara, laborer allocations, worker allocations and building qeues.

Feel free to post your qeue for Odawara and suggestions. Comment what you don't like and what would you want. Get arguments here and if they are good then practically I will post your instructions in TCIT.
-------
For next TC: We're already having large number of units and producing even more. I think Odawara can switch to Courthouse since its corrupted around 40%. We have bonus shields because forest will be cleaned in 2 turns.
Oda is too large so I intend to switch laborer from floods to desert to slow growth and increase production. I would like to get 15 shields per turn in Odawara.
Then obviously we need Cathedral, Colosseum or Marketplace to fight unhapiness (in order to get 12 pop). I prefer Cathedral because we're religious civilization. I'm going building Colosseum as prebuild to make things go as fast as possiible.
------

This is my plan, if you agree/disagree in some aspects then propose another plan (or alter mine). I still didn't look at Worker actions and I would appreciate those suggestions also.
 
I will probably post a nomination thread for 3 free mayor positions in the province after next TC so stay tuned.
I'm still trying to find Noldo to help me, where are you Noldo :confused: :) .
 
I think the plan looks good, though I think we should swich the laborer back to the flood plains after the courthouse is completed.
 
Since Rome is not yet a sperate province, we now have Doomsville (Antium) and Baldur's Gate (Pompeii).
 
I'll be engaging a "Provinvial Congress" soon. But for now...

Lord or Madame Governor (not sure which...)

In its curent configuration, Rome is only producing 1 Shield per turn and has 2 Taxmen.

Given that we will soon have Luxuries in that area, I propose that we micromange this city as shown in the Pic.

Also, it is now safe to put the single person in Doomsville back on Labor.

Odawara: Courthouse (4) -> Cathedral (9)
*switch desert to flood plain (growth in 5, production the same)
*after Courthouse is finished switch laborer back to get fastest Cathedral
*switch desert to En'Gha mine in 2
En'Gha: Cathedral (7) -> Marketplace (10)
*give Oda an En'Gha hill mine in 2 turns please. switch En'Gha to another mine
Shorin-Ryu: Cathedral (4) -> Marketplace (8)
*switch desert to hill mine in 2 turns
Corrino: Cathedral (14)
-----
Rome: Temple (26)
*change taxmen to laborer -> work on bonus grassland
Doomsville: Temple (22)
*change clown to laborer - work on plains
*if under my supervision: Ravenna, Hispalis: Temples

-try not to forget these laborer allocations :)

Workers

- Finish 2 started mines near En'Gha
- Irrigate Odawara's flood tiles and mine 2 Oda hills (use some of En'Gha workers)
- Clear Corrino forest and irrigate it
- mine 2 Shorin hills; IMPORTANT: irrigate bonus grassland or wine tile (DP discretion - because Shorin can't grow much more).

Subject to change, especially if we get in war with some of our neighbours.
-------
SirDonIII your suggestions is accepted. I'd like to ask you now to consider boosting Corrino population with 1 of our 3 Settlers.
 
Odawara City Advice For 460 AD

Build Queue:
Courthouse >> Marketplace >> Granary

Laborer Placement: Move remaining desert mine laborer to irrigated plain.

Worker Distribution: Please move two of the eight workers mining south of En'Gha to irrigate the second wheat, and one to help complete the road to Baldur's Gate.

Odawara seems to be having growth problems, so I've asked that the second wheat (which is already being worked) be irrigated, and that a laborer be moved to the plains, which produce more food (with a minimal loss of shields). I've asked that these workers come from the large group south of En'Gha, which has far more than it needs. I've also asked one of these be sent to help finish the road to Baldur's Gate, which has been under construction for a while. I'm asking that a marketplace be built after the cathedral (since it boosts taxes and happiness), followed by a granary (to help with the food problem).
 
Nice to see that post Epi, finally active :).

You have the point about that laborer. Considering relocation I checked and we can switch desert directly to flood plain tile. The difference from plain is growth in 5 (plain would be 6) ans loss of 2 shields instead of 1 (on plain). But Courthouse will be anyway finished in 4.
So, it would be best to switch desert for next 4 turns to flood plain and then to plain.
---
Odawara doesn't really have the growth problem. We could make it now to grow in 3 turns if we want but Courthouse would be in 5 then. Note that we can achieve this by working on UNIRRIGATED tiles. I'll suggest DP to irrigate those floods and to build 2 mines in Odawara (to use hills instead of deserts).
Thats why we don't really need Granary yet. Road to Baldurs will be done in 2 so there is no time to send any help there.

However, we have unhapiness problem. Marketplace would get Oda 1 content face happy, 2nd and 3rd when furs is connected (26 turns).This is minimal effect (unless we get furs earlier) and that way we can't boost to 12 pop yet. Cathedraly is 3 turns cheaper than Market and will make 3 :/ to 3| face, so we could get Oda to 12 pop. Also, building Market would bring 3-4 more coins (currently), and Cathedral +3 culture.

What do you think about: Courthouse (4) -> Cathedral (9)* -> Market (12)*? these * will be faster when the Courthouse is built. This qeue will be finished before we get Furs and should result: 4 :) 4 :| 4 :(.And we would have possibilite for 1 more MP unit. After Furs 6 :) 2| 4 :(.
I'm still considering Market before Cathedral but it seems Cathedral is little better option for pop boost because we don't have many luxuries. However if we get Furs or some other luxury earlier than I agree that Market -> Cathedral is the way to go.

EDIT: There is proposal to rush Hispalis temple = Furs earlier. I suggest going there and supporting that proposal.
 
Info and province photo is updated.
Notice yellow numbers 1 and 2 on the map. Those are 2 proposals for building a new city in Edo province, and probably will be polled soon (if domestic decides so). I suggest voting for spot #2. Follow this link to join discussion.

There is also a proposal for establishing Rome province. Since its our neigbour we do have interest in that matter. Join the discussion.
 
It looks like temple in Hispalis will be rushed. I changed a bit instructions for Rome. And Odawara is now building Marketplace as suggested by Epimethius.
 
I did the worker jobs,govenor.Would you like me to upload the save?
