Term 3 - Zarnia Province. Republicans gone, it's Democracy here now.

[Donovan Zoi]

After further consideration, I would like to retain my mayorship of Furuyama. Hopefully you haven't submitted the resignation paperwork yet?

 

[JackA]

I wish to be govenor of Furuyama!

 

[Black_Hole]

I wish to be govenor of Furuyama!

3 problems:
1. DZ isnt resigning afterall
2. Its mayor not governor
3. I believe Rik is going to have elections for mayorships

 

[Rik Meleet]

This is the situation Zarnia is in now:

We can Micro Manage cities to focus on many things. For instance Zojoji can be MM-ed to have +1 food and grow in 27 turns, finishing the market in 4 turns. It can also be MM-ed to grow in 4, building the market in 13 turns.

Fanatikku can grow in 4, finishing the Samurai in 3 turns.
etc.

What do you want for each city; speed in growth or speed in production ?
And what should the cities build ???

I propose:
Fanatikku: Samurai -> worker -> Samurai
Furuyama: Samurai -> worker (city to be MM-ed to grow the turn worker is ready).
Immo: Library -> worker -> worker
Zojoji: Market -> Harbor -> Pike

JackA: I'll put your name down for mayorship. Elections haven't started yet.
Donovan Zoi has decided to continue his Mayor-ship of Furuyama. Immortal hasn't responded yet. I do not have the power to 'take Immo away from Immortal' and I don't want to. So at the moment only the Capitol Fanatikku has an opening for mayor.

 

[invy]

JackA, there are also three cities in eastern province that needs mayor, if you are interested just go there and nominate (thread is in citizen forum). There are currently only 1 candidate so i guess you will have no oposition in mayorship.

 

[MOTH]

For the 360 AD turnchat Governor MOTH requested:I've said that it was ok for that turnchat.

Does the governor of Hair-proivnce still need the tile or can Hair-province take care of their own tiles now? If it does, I am not sure if I can prolong the land-lease-act. It depends on what the people want with Immo. If Immo needs that tile; it is Immo's. If Immo doesn't need it, you can borrow it for another 100 years (or how long the TC lasts).

Is this acceptable ?

Regards,
Rik Meleet
Governor of Zarnia province.

This is acceptable. I fully appreciate that this is a lending of the tile and not a grant to my province. If it is possible that I could continue to use it then it will help with the growth and production capability in Nilhilon, if not then I will make do with what I have.

Thanks - MOTH
Governor of Southern Province.

Governor: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=2136050&postcount=13

That's resigning, if you ask me. That's the 13th post of the Official Absense Registry.

 

[Rik Meleet]

These instructions are posted:

Please MM Zojoji in such a way the marketplace is build in 5 turns, with the maximum food (+3 fpt is what I found).

* denotes: Furuyama needs to be micromanaged to finish the worker the turn it grows.
** denotes: After Zojoji finishes the market, please MM Zojoji that the granary finishes the turn before Zojoji grows.

If Immo doesn't need the BG tile that Eridu also has access to; use it for Eridu.

If you want to comment; I can still change them.

 

[Cyc]

Governor Rik Meleet, I have posted again in your discussion thread in the Citizen's sub-forum about the question you asked of me. I'm not sure about the legnth of time need for the production of the Granary, but it should be for too long. Please make mention that the new Laborer should be placed on a mined Hill. Thank you.

 

[Rik Meleet]

The Marketplace needs 62 shields to complete. That is 4 turns of 13 shields and 1 turn of 10. When the Granary is next (60 shields) that can be completed in 2 turns of 16 spt. and 2 turns of 14 spt. Even if Zojoji stays at 3 fpt (can't get 15 spt then) it will grow the same turn the granary finishes (= bad). Just 1 less food (which will be done due to 14 or 16spt) will increase the growth time by 1 turn.

Thus: there is no way on earth Zojoji will grow before the granary is completed; if the instructions to MM Zojoji in such a way that the granary finishes the turn before Zojoji grows are followed.

I have full confidence in the President's Micro-Management capabilities. Of course it helps if someone reminds the President in the TC to check for this. The TC is scheduled -again- at a time I cannot join.

Guess: market in 5; granary in 4 (total 9 turns) and growth in about 10 or 11 turns.

 

[Civanator]

I encourage the Governor to take advantage of our Golden Age of Prosperity and build improvements instead of Samurai. When all useful improvements, or if an improvement would be irrelevant to the city, are completed then continue with the productuion of Samurai.

 

[Zarn]

I think you should still build a little bit of samurai, but I think there should be an emphasis put on the improvements.

BTW, when are the mayor elections?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Here are Zarnia's queues and tile layout.

MM Zojoji as depicted in the double city picture. on turn 1; make sure it finished the marketplace. In turns 2, 3 and 4, Have it at 20 spt, to finish granary in 3 turns. After that, MM the way you like.

Immo needs the BG it has given to Eridu for use the last 100's of years. When Immo has finished its granary, MM it to 10 spt while it is building workers.

Of course; if a Zarnian city is chosen for a Wonder-build; it should be included into the queue in this way:

Fanatikku: Immediately.
Furuyama: Ignore it. Furuyama is not a proper Wonder location due to its size and low SPT. Furuyama is not available for Wonder production.
Immo: When the Library is finished.
Zojoji: When the Market is finished.

Zarn: 3 Samurai are in the queue.

BTW, when are the mayor elections?

I plan to hold them Ocotber 15th

 

[MOTH]

Governor Rik,
I have included in my instructions that the laborers in my city of Nihilon stop working on the BG near Immo. It seems that when you ordered the production of Workers (and no longer worked the tile) that Nihilon's newly born laborer couldn't help but labor these lush lands. If it is possible, I wouldn't mind if we could work this tile, but I leave that up to you.

I also wanted to point out that in this post I have requested from the Ministry of War that defensive garrisons be considered for two cities in my province as well as Furuyama in your province. If the MSAV agrees then Furuyama should have a garrison of one regular spearman by the end of the next Turn Chat.

Thanks - MOTH
Governor of HAI-RANDO

 

[Rik Meleet]

Governor Moth:
Immo doesn't need that tile this TC. You can use it.

I've posted these instructions. If anyone wants to comment, advise or critisise them; please do so here.

Buildqueues
Fanatikku Samurai Worker University
Furuyama Pike Worker Catapult
Immo Samurai Workers (*) University
Zojoji Pike University Bank

(*) = During and after Immo builds the Samurai; keep it at high food. As long as Immo can produce 10 shields per turn, build workers. When it has less than 10 spt; start University.

Wonders
If a Zarnian city is chosen for a Wonder-build; it should be included into the queue in this way:

Fanatikku: Immediately.
Furuyama: Ignore it. Furuyama is not a proper Wonder location due to its size and low SPT. Furuyama is not available for Wonder production.
Immo: Immediately.
Zojoji: Immediately. But in that case, I will ask the Minister of Defense to Increase Zojoji's defense force with a pike.

Special DP right
If any of Zarnia's cities can be "smarter" micro-managed; the DP is free to do so, if (and only if) we are wasting food or shields.

 

[Zarn]

I wouldn't call it a DP right, perhaps a DP perk.

The queues look fine, but I'm curious of why you want a catapult. Are you planning to get people to the other continent quicker via air travel?

I just noticed the small amount of artillery units in our nation -2 IIRC-
Cats, cannons, arties are excellent defensive weapons. I was thinking about the safety of the Japanaticans in general and the safety of Zarnians in peticulair.

I agree with Rik here. We need more artillery, both defensive and offensive. They're a tremendous help either way.

 

[Rik Meleet]

Zarn is appointed Mayor of Fanatikku. There were no other contestants, so an election is pointless.

Zarnia's instructions:

Buildqueues
Fanatikku University Worker Worker Samurai
Furuyama Catapult Aquaduct
Immo University Samurai
Zojoji Pike (repeat entire TC)

Wonders
If a Zarnian city is chosen for a Wonder-build; it should be included into the queue in this way:

Fanatikku: When the University is finished.
Furuyama: Ignore it. Furuyama is not a proper Wonder location due to its size and low SPT. Furuyama is not available for Wonder production.
Immo: Immediately.
Zojoji: Immediately.

[Rik Meleet]

The instructions for Zojoji are changed to:
The reason is that the citizens want a Wonder build in Zojoji.

(..)- As per this poll Smith's Trading Company should be built in Shorin-Ryu beginning immediately.

- This poll shows that we would also like another Wonder to be started. So a prebuild should be started in Zojoji-- for a Wonder that will be determined by the next Turnchat. (..)
