[TimBentley]

Osgiliath: worker, cavalry
when the worker finishes, MM for maximum shields
try to acheive WLTQD by using a specialist

Sto'vo'kor: library, worker, university
switch two coasts to grassland by river
try to MM for maximum shields

Windurst: library, cathedral

Pete: cathedral, library
switch desert to coast
when Pete reaches size 12, switch flood plain to another tile (probably grassland)

Bentropolis: cavalry, cavalry

Kagemusha: courthouse
use the flood plain once Pete doesn't need it

Grumpypuss: harbor, courthouse

Swazi: wealth
keep it growing so it will reach size 3
if the Zulu laborer assimilates, produce workers

Suggested worker actions:
mine desert, grassland, and hill near Osgiliath
mine grassland and chop jungle near Sto'vo'kor (please don't irrigate the desert, I would rather irrigate the flood plains and mine the desert)
mine grassland and chop jungle near Windurst
mine grassland and hills near Pete
mine hills and grassland near Bentropolis
connect Kagemusha and Grumpypuss by roads
irrigate near Kagemusha

New cities should start production on a courthouse, military unit, or temple, up to the DP's discretion (it doesn't really matter because it won't finish this turnchat anyways)

 

[blackheart]

Being Deputy Governor I'd also like to apply for mayorship of Sto'vo'kor.

 

[snipelfritz]

Congrats on your election Govenor Bently.

For your province name, might I suggest Wisconsin.

Then we'd be the unhappy province on the planet
.

 

[TimBentley]

Being Deputy Governor I'd also like to apply for mayorship of Sto'vo'kor.

I hereby appoint you as mayor of Sto'vo'kor.

 

[blackheart]

Rejoice! Sto'vo'kor now has a mayor and it's own thread! http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=101145

BTW thanks Tim.

 

[TimBentley]

I'm looking for input on the name Kitakinu Province. It's based off the Japanese words for north and silk. If the website I found these translations from is wrong, or you think the name sounds stupid, or if you like the name, feel free to provide your input.

 

[Ashburnham]

Kitakinu... I like it.

 

[Cyc]

Kitakinu Province sounds great to me.

 

[TimBentley]

TimBentley finally named his province!

If you click on the edit button of the first post, can you change the title of the thread? Congrats!

 

[blackheart]

For some reason Kitakinu doesn't roll off of the tongue right, I want to add a k in it and make it Kitankinku. Actually both don't roll off my tongue right. Why not just name the province TimBentleyville?

 

[Chieftess]

For some reason Kitakinu doesn't roll off of the tongue right, I want to add a k in it and make it Kitankinku. Actually both don't roll off my tongue right.

Kitankinku roughly translates to "modest swear word".

It only lets me change the title of the post, not the thread.

 

[Epimethius]

Actually, I'm pretty sure north is "Hok."

 

[TimBentley]

Actually, I'm pretty sure north is "Hok."

I found four Japanese words for north, and one for northern. Hoku was one of the words north was translated into by a English-to-Japanese dictionary, so close enough to Hok.

 

[Chieftess]

"Hok" isn't a word. However, if you want to tack it onto another word (make sure the kanji is the same on-reading (kun-reading is Japanese, on-reading is Chinese IIRC). For example, "Hokkaido". It has the "2nd k", which is actually a constinant extension in Japanese.

北 - "Hoku" - North
海 - "Kai" - Sea/Ocean
道 - "Dou" - path

Hokkaido = "Passage to the Northern Sea".

Hoku and Kai become "Hokkai". Reason? The "u" in "ku" is whispered. So, if you have "hok", you need a word begining with "ku".

(Notice that I was using the on-reading for the above three kanji readings. The kun readings would be: Kita, Umi, and Michi, respectively).

 

[TimBentley]

Province status and tentative queues have been updated.

Here are the queues:

Osgiliath: cathedral, library, barracks

Sto'vo'kor: courthouse, market, harbor
switch desert to grassland

Windurst: courthouse, aqueduct

Pete: courthouse, marketplace
switch desert to coast

Bentropolis: courthouse, barracks

Suggested worker actions:
mine a couple of hills near Osgiliath
mine grassland near Sto'vo'kor (please don't irrigate the desert, I would rather irrigate the flood plains and mine the desert)
mine grassland and chop jungle near Windurst
mine grassland and hills near Pete; make other cities higher priorities
mine hills and grassland near Bentropolis

New cities should start production on a courthouse, pikeman, or temple, up to the DP's discretion (it doesn't really matter because it won't finish this turnchat anyways)

If Swazi flips, have it produce workers, with no specialists.

Suggestions are, as always, welcome.

Are there any open mayorships in the province?
