Term 4 President's Thread

[Robi D]

Ok the general is back in action, pity there is no donsig to run circles around.

Anyway just so we all know, i wont be posting screenies every turn if nothing new has happened but i will be giving a run down of events. Every 5 or so turns i do a general review. If the is a sceenie you want to see or any other info ask and you will receive

Ok now the goals for term 4.

- Founding 3rd city near clams and cows
- Aquiring clams and cows
- Starting settler for 4th city
- Discovering Fishing
- Being at least half way to Metal Casting
- Building at least one library
- Hopefully explore our entire continent
- Maintain No.1 spot for production
- Get into Top 2 for Gold
- Actually give our Foreign Minister something to do

Those are off the top of my head so if i've missed something you know what to do.

Thats about it for now

 

[robboo]

What will you do to us if we post...

Slaughters us like that stack of your troops that got slaughtered at a city named Seaport. Hell of a drop in your power ..little bitty one for me.

I think we also need to start thinking about horses, maybe our 4th city?

We need them for cossaks (which all though a long way into the future) wont hurt to have

 

[robboo]

Well if no one is nearby to fight us...we can wait on the horseys. I think its time to REX. I think we can and should have 2 to 3 more cities up by the end of this term.

 

[Robi D]

I forgot to put it in, but i checked, Metal Casting is still going to take 43 turns currently. Hopefully with a third city, cottages and some libraries we can halve that.

 

[BCLG100]

it should hopefully go down a little bit due to the cottage being started near hello.

With the Explorer in looks like the foreign office might get something to do this term. I would suggest heading in a general South West direction but everones welcome to have a say.

For those who likes numbers, we have exactly 20% of the worlds population and 2.33% of the land. Not much movement in the demographics except the leader in gold went from 19 to 22.

 

[robboo]

South west looks goood..but I think you might see nothing but water and end up heading NW towards the forest above the cows.

just looks like water tiles near teh edges of most of the visible tiles.

Fishing in 2
Research 100%, 130g, -2gpt

Its looking promising for our explorer to the SW. I think we should keep going that way.
With the cottage being worked now Metal Casting has dropped from 43 to 41 turns at the current rate.
With the worker nearly built in Hello, should we build a military unit or library.
Should we lay down another cottage outside Hello?

 

[robboo]

I say POP it. keep going where you want to

What to build next..do you have a unit to guard the settler. And can you crank out a library adn a unit in the time left on the settler build. If so...then do libary then unit otherwise unit then library.

cottage...interesting..should we put a cottage and maybe not have enough food to work all teh tiles that give hammers are should we farm the green tiles and cottage the brown. What you do right now will help determine teh long term city use....my opinion cottage the brown tile(E of city) and farm the other green(W of city) that is bordering water. Then start a road to where the next city will be.

in hello we have 5 farmable tiles to give 3 food each. We have 5 tiles that give 1 food......

 

[BCLG100]

Send the axe with the settler, Hello can always crank out another unit for protection of the capital.

Cottage a few tiles around Hello, it wont be able to grow very big for awhile as we dont have any lux's and not too many units availiable for MP duty.

Pop the hut

 

[Robi D]

There is an axe and warrior in Aloha and a spear and warrior in Hello, so we have flexibility on this front. We can do an axe - library build in hello. In aloha we could do a work boat - library.

As for the cottages, i would build another one or two, we don't need rapid growth at the moment as we can't support it past 5 or 6, but given the open space i think its better to expand outwards a little more

 

[BCLG100]

I think depending on maintenance costs we should do an axe settler build in Hello, get that 4th city up and running.

 

[robboo]

try to do librarires first in the builds if feasible...that was our whole reason for going for writing.

 

[Robi D]

The third city will have the clam and cows so that should be up to speed quickly to start the settler for our 4th city.

I would like to get the libraries built to get MC as quickly as possible, both for the extra science and it allows us to run science specialists. I'm also thinking of a second cottage and farm for Hello, and a cottage on the river for Aloha along with more mining, with pigs and rice we can be working all the hills.

 

[GeorgeOP]

I think we should build a workboat in Aloha next. Along with hooking up those cows, City 3 will really grow quickly wth the clams. Although libraries are good, I don't think we're generating enough commerce to justify building them yet.

Also, are we going to send a unit out after the barb to the east or are we going to wait for him to enter our lands?

 

[BCLG100]

i think we may as well wait for him to get a little closer
