Suggested worker actions:

mine desert near Sto'vo'kor
railroad Sto'vo'kor's mines
mine grassland near Windurst
railroad Windurst's mines

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

 

[TimBentley]

There is a deputy position and mayorship of Windurst and Grumpypuss open. I would prefer applications for the deputy position first.

Governor Tim Bentley

I have an urgent need for Courthouse in Kagemusha, and will ask for a rush buy for court house as soon as possible, in order to bolster our French border. This should be rushed when Kagemusha reaches three citizens in two turns. Secondary I want to build a barracks for our Northern Military Headquarter, where I am going to disband 2 warriors, a swordsman and a horseman next turnchat. After the barracks we should line up some city walls, as this is a border town.

Mayor of Kagemusha Provolution

PS, Make a Kitakinu Term IV Thread

I will consider your request and do some corruption calculations soon.

 

[Sir Donald III]

Starting sometime in the Second TC, we would likely be able to construct Railroads.

Since the benefits of railroads are the same (instant transportation and +1 to Irrigation or Mines) whether the rail line is direct or serpentine, I would like you to ask your Mayors which tiles they would most like to be improved upon. Mined and Irrigated Tiles will be the only ones considered for these requests. (Doesn't mean I won't RR un"improved" tiles, but I would like to see your preferences.)

 

[TimBentley]

Upon further investigation, I have discovered that a courthouse in Kagemusha will not reduce waste or corruption until railroads are placed or we enter a less corrupt government. I will reinvestigate for the next turnchat.

 

[TimBentley]

Provincial status and tentative queues have been updated (although I'm going to look deeper into whether making WLTKD is worth it). Here are the queues:

Osgiliath: worker, colosseum, musketman
If the culture minister says Universal Suffrage is to be built here, start a palace instead
switch flood plain nearest to Sto'vo'kor to mined desert

Sto'vo'kor: university, privateer, privateer
switch desert to flood plain given up by Osgiliath

Windurst: cathedral, privateer, university
switch coast to grassland
switch coast to irrigated silks given up by Swazi

Pete: library, university
switch desert to grassland given up by Swazi
switch one sea to coast
switch other sea laborer to specialist

Bentropolis: market, library
switch unmined hill to plain given up by Swazi

Kagemusha: courthouse, barracks, walls

Grumpypuss: harbor, courthouse

Suggested worker actions:

mine hills near Pete
railroad Pete's mines
mine hills near Bentropolis, irrigate other land

railroad Kagemusha's irrigation
Connecting the cities by railroads is a slightly higher priority

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)

Input is welcome, as always.

 

[Zarn]

Lord TimBentley;

Please keep the budget in mind when considering building improvments and units. Much of our budget is dependent on foriegn nations. Also, more units under a 'free' government (if we revolt) would mean a much higher maintainence.

-Zarn, Minister of Domestic Affairs

Note: All governors receive this message.

 

[Provolution]

Governors, stop building cavalrys please, we do not need more cavalrys since we are the mightiest nation so far. If we are to war against any major nation, we would use
modern troops, and take out small attacks with more old material.

Cavalrys cannot upgrade.

 

[Provolution]

Governor Tim Bentley

I jsut discovered that Kitakinu is the prime shipbuilding province in Japanatica, with three major ports. Try to factor in a total of three privateers here within some time, and I will get the rest from the other provinces. One Privateer per city

 

[MOTH]

Honorable Governor,
It is possible that Osgiliath will be selected to build Universal Suffrage. I understand that you would want to build a Factory first. This is fine. If you wish to use the Palace as a pre-build for the factory it is available for your use.

I expect to have confirmation on Universal Suffrage by turn chat #3.

Thanks - MOTH

[Provolution]

Governor TimBentley

Proposal for the Budget Office

This is good economy, ask Zarn and Donsig rushing

Aqueducts in Bentropolis and Kagemusha amd courthouse in Grumpypuss /France culture)

 

[TimBentley]

I was already thinking about the courthouse in Grumpypuss. I'll look at the aqueducts and report in the budget office tonight.

Edit: I decided that with my laborer reallocation and possible railroading, Bentropolis won't be waiting very long for an aqueduct, so that rush is unnecessary.
