Term 3 - Province of Bohemia

[Eklektikos]

A definitive poll regarding provincial borders has been posted.

 

[Eklektikos]

I have posted quick polls to decide where our next city will be placed and where the city after that will be placed also. Please vote in these polls as soon as possible if you wish to influence the final decision!

Mr Governor- The city of Penguin has been established (captured?). I am asking for mayorship of this city.

 

[Cyc]

There ya go, SAaM. Good move. That's the way to get things done.

 

[Shabbaman]

I apply for the function of mayor for the city of Bremershaven. This is actually my third attempt for this application, so I hope that it's in the right thread this time (thanks Eklektikos, btw)

 

[Shaitan]

The new cities and captured cities are all working on temples. These are just placeholder builds I put in until instruction from Bohemia's Governor could be given. The majority would be better served with building spearmen first for local defense and MP and a temple after that.

 

[Eklektikos]

I have posted the run off poll for the province border definition issue. The choice is now down to two of FortyJ's proposals: "Capitol Province" & "Strictly Geographic 2". Please vote now to define the shape of our nation and the size of our Senate!

 

[Cyc]

Governor of Bohemia, I'm not sure where the new polls are going to take us, or when (actually it looks like the Capital Province scheme is winning). But if it goes amiss, I would like to submit these entry items to the Governor's Office for review. I have listed only the first item to build in each city. Just a suggested way of getting us on track.

Kuhkaff - Spear, Valhalla - Settler, Bavaria - Sword, Morgana - Horseman, Bremershaven - Settler, Tlaxcala - Temple, Strider's Haven - Temple, The Barrow - Temple, Dacula - Settler, Penguin - Spear, Tenochtitlan - Settler, Octavinium - Temple

That's 4 Settlers, 4 Temples, 3 Spears, 1 Sword, and 1 Horse.
That should make the expansionists/culturalists happy. After these, I would lean heavily into Military units. Defensive for the East and Offensive for the west. Bavaria will need a Temple and Morgana will need to produce a Worker. Good luck!

 

[Shaitan]

Good suggestions, Cyc but I'd go 2 settlers and 5 spears right now. We still have many cities that are being undergarrisoned or garrisoned with swordsmen due to a lack of spears. Free up those offensive units with some quick spearman production.

Please have the temples changed to libraries unless there is a special reason for eliminating discontent in a city. Libraries are cheaper and produce more culture than temples.

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

We will keep to temples until we actually get Lit. Think of it as prebuilding them. Besides temples help with culture and will help with the unhappiness. But i await cultures take on this as well

 

[Eklektikos]

Could the governor please post at least a tentative set of build queues, so I can get an idea of how many city sites we will need to have decided on before the chat?

 

[Padma]

My thought as Culture Head (and with growing agreement in the relevant thread in the Citizens forum) is to replace the Temples with Libraries as soon as we get Lit. Libraries provide more culture than Temples, and are cheaper, so unless there are happiness issues, they are the way for us to go.

 

[Shaitan]

Governor, we will need finalized build queues for all cities by tomorrow night. Please put up a proposal for the people to give you feedback on them.

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

im working on them still they will be up sometime before the end of the day

Build Queues

Bavaria - Swordsman, Heroic Epic?/Settler, Spearman
Valhalla - Settler, Swordsman, Settler
Teno - Temple, archer, settler
Octavium - temple, archer, worker
Morgana - Horseman, horesman, swordsman
Dacula - Temple,spearman, swordsman, barracks
Tlaxcala - Temple, spearman, barracks
Penquin - spearman, library, spearman, barracks
Kuhkaff - Spearman, Library, barracks
Bremershaven - Temple, settler, spearman, barracks
Strider's Haven - Temple, spearman, barracks
The Burrow - Temple, Spearman, Barracks

If we get a city from the aztecs in peace negotiations or continue taking them by force build spearman for defense.

Continue to build roads to connect the cities and micromanage the cities for growth purposes

 

[Shaitan]

We need depth there. At least 3 deep, preferably much more.

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

they will i want to get reaction to the initial ones first and get moreimput into what else the cities should build aside from military units

 

[Cyc]

Well. my first response is put back in the 3 settlers. Not only will they help with needed expansion, but also keep the cities at a manageable pop level.

 

[Shaitan]

I agree with the settlers. We need a fair mix of 50% military (includes spears to go with settlers, spears to garrison existing cities and new horsemen), 25% expansion (settlers) and 25% culture.
