Term 3 - Province of Bohemia

[Eklektikos]

I have posted Quick Polls to decide the placement of the first, second and third cities during the upcoming November 8th turn chat. These polls have been set to remain open for 24 hours only, so please vote as soon as possible to ensure the cities are built in the right place at the right time!

does anyone have anything to say about the heroic epic being built in bavaria

 

[Cyc]

Sounds like great Idea. It doesn't take long to build, so let's knock it out.

 

[Shaitan]

Don't forget to post your queues to the Chat instruction thread. We also need tile optimizations listed, where appropriate. We are currently running with the single scientist research approach so fit him in where you think best.

I think that is the place to build it. We can have it done in 20 turns if we let Bavaria use the game tile currently being used by Morgana and then work an additional forest tile when Bavaria grows to size 5 in six turns.

ok as long as the queues are ok ill post them later on in the day

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has posted an informational poll regarding the establishment of embassies.

All citizens are encouraged to participate.

Here is my suggestion for the build queues for the Provance of Bohemia. The list does not pertain to any particular city.

Temples (To solitify our borders and prevent any Culture flips)
Settlers
Horsemen (If any city is connected to horses)
Swordsmen (If any city is connected to Iron)

BTW. I know you may have already place them in your build queues, But this is something also to put in your mind .

With all deference to CivGeneral, I would suggest building Libraries instead of Temples as they are cheaper for us and provide 50% more culture than temples.

Also, I would completely shut down all swordsmen production in favor of horsemen. We will be in the Age of Knights and our swordsmen will be outclassed soon enough. Once we are able, we shall want to upgrade these horsemen to knights so that we can mantain our military supremacy.

Edit: Changed text to "more culture than temples".

Just as long as there is a solid culture in the cities without culture, I am happy .

We are in the Middle ages already?!
Boy I must be away from the turn chats a little too long, Darn thoes Early Bird Turn Chats .

Well I can revise my suggestion to replace the swordsmen and build Knights .

I'd like at least one harbor post haste. Morgana is the best city for this production. This will open up trade routes with AI civs that have also built harbors. It will also help Morgana's growth which is currently stifled.

Part from the harbor we need to identify exactly how many spearmen we need to form city suppression...er...support. 2 spears per city. This will free up the swords that are currently doing garrison duty. We need to plan an additional spear for each settler planned. Horsemen are the offensive unit of choice for new construction.

Culture is important in the land bridge area and we need to consider rushing temples (not libraries) in those cities. This is also a concern to the far west where we are close to opposing borders.

I would like to see 50% unit construction, mixed to generate an effective horse assault force with spear backup within 20 turns and all cities having 2 spear backup. Another 25% should be cultural buildings including the possibly rushed temples and as many libraries as could be fit in. The last 25% would be the harbor and some marketplaces in large growth cities plus settlers.

hmmm. temples are cheaper? i thought we were scientific + military, not religious and military?

EDIT:
forget it. i got confused cause forty mistyped libraries for temples

 

[Shaitan]

Libraries are cheaper but cannot be rushed.

 

[GenMarshall]

Plus Libraries can also help with our Sciece rate

 

[FortyJ]

Dis
Thanks for noticing my typo. I've corrected it.

Shaitan
I must admit that I am not totally versed with which structures may be rushed, if any, and under what circumstances. I've tried to think how we could rush a Library, but it seems like you may be correct.

 

[Shaitan]

@FortyJ - Polls determined that we may rush temples but not libraries while in a despotism government.

 

[FionnMcCumhall]
