Term 4 thread

 

[Cyc]

Congrats Eklektikos. Good to see you back in a Governor's chair. Remind you of old times?
The North Province is a majestic Province, filled with resources and growth potential. I'm glad to see it's in good hands.

 

[Eklektikos]

He who congratulates first... gets employed, as it turns out

Please could all citizens place their vote in this poll to confirm Cyc as the new Deputy Governor. Thankyou.

 

[Cyc]

As indicated by this Confirmation Poll, I have been approved for the position of Deputy Governor. It's good to be back in politics. As I am already Mayor of Kukaff, I'll just keep my same office, Governor. I'll just make a change to the sign on the door.

People of the North Province, I will work hard to see that your needs are met. New irrigation, mining, and Defensive Military units are on my list of things to bring you. Stay tuned.

Please place a link to the Term 4 thread in the first post of this thread.

 

[Eklektikos]

I would like to apologise for my failure to get a discussion thread up for the last turn chat, and for not getting one up in good time for the chat tonight. I will draw up and post build queue proposals as soon as I get home this evening in order to allow at least some prior discussion, and will endevour to be more on the ball for the rest of the term.

The first post in this thread has now been updated with a somewhat outdated map and the list of cities and mayors from the previous administration's thread. Please let me know if any of this information is now out of date.

 

[Shaitan]

The map is way out of date. Also, Satsuma (under Indian rule) should be in the city list.

 

[Eklektikos]

Just aquired a slightly more up to date map from the Cartographic Office, and added Satsuma to the list of cities.

 

[Shaitan]

A little better. Riga is also ours now.

What are your thoughts on packing cities in the tundra to increase our free troop limit and form a culture bank?

My thoughts have always been that this is a very good idea, and it formed part of the city placement plan that was approved by poll at the end of term #3. Since interest in the concept seems to have increased lately I shall start a discussion about it in the citizen's forum

 

[Eklektikos]

A thread discussing the settlement of the tundra region has been posted.

 

[Eklektikos]

A new and completely up to date map has now been provided by Deputy Governor Cyc

 

[Shaitan]

Riga and Gunningheim are both excellent candidates to produce units for the tundra settlement plan.

RE: WAR WITH INDIA

We must halt any production of improvements in your province. Concentrate on building military units only. All gold is for Military and Foreign Affairs, please do not request to rush any improvements until this war is over.

Thanks

(Original content of post removed, because I am now more or less up to date on the situation)

Current queue (as stated by the 900ad preturn save):
Knight in 3 turns
Slot1: Musketman
Slot2: Knight

Suggestion for addition to queue:

I would like to keep the argument from my original post (hopefully someone read it)
Provided that we manage to rid the province of the pesky Indians -> recapture lost cities + securing the territory
I would request that a settler is added to the queue (as soon as it is safe of course)
City is at size 5 - will drop to 3 after settler completion
Marginal growth is expected by the city - at least growth back to current size.

Governor Eklektikos,

Please look over and respond to my plan for our military response to India's agression. It needs some ironing out so please join the discussion.

Four Rally Points Against India

Hi, I just figured out something about Gunningheim.

If we move the citizen from the tile it is on to the fur tile with a forest on it, the growth will double, but the production will cut from 54 turns to complete the musketman to 17 turns, and we will be gaining 2 more gold.

But you could just wait until it grows...

 

[Cyc]

Unbeknownst to me, Governor Eklektikos was doing research out in the NW tundra and coastline. I just found this out last night when the Governor came bursting through the doors of the Bavaria Castle during Shaitan's Wake. Therefore, although I am slow in response, I will be giving the update for The North province and the proposed build queues.

First off, I'd like to thank Mayor gunning1 for his input on the laborer situation in Gunningheim. Although your analogy is correct Mayor gunning1, I feel it would be much better gor Gunningheim to grow in 4 turns and use both tiles, than to slow the growth. But again, thank you.

Good News! Satsuma is gone! The Indians decided to burn the Japanese village rather than let us have it. Now we can start a new city in the location that best suits us.

Dapper Dan is fortified and working on more defense, where as Riga, after just being re-captured is barely productive and will probably be switched from defensive unit to Library.

Androbius is doing very well productively with it's courthouse. It is also growing fairly fast too. This would lead me to making Androbius a Settler factory or to building an Aqueduct. As we need the NW tundra populated (and to justify the Governor's research), Settler factory seems appropriate.

As stated above, Gunningheim needs to grow. When it does grow in 4, put the new laborer on the forest with the furs.

Naerva has stopped growing and needs a harbor soon.

Valhalla, a strong builder, can help the Nation with Military production, but also needs an Aqueduct soon. Although growth will not really increase production at this time, so a Settler is called for.

And the Capital of The North Province, Kuhkaff, which was first a Settler factory and is now a major Military Training Base should continue with said training, but needs a granary to help the population grow.

So, the proposed build queues are:

Kuhkaff - Cavalry (c), Cavalry, Granary, Cavalry
Valhalla - Cavalry(c), Calvalry, Settler
Naerva - Cavalry(c), Calvalry, Harbor
Androbius - Musket(c), Settler, Musket, Settler, Musket
...........................Anrobius could really use some roading.
Dapper Dan - Musket(c), Harbor
Gunningheim - Musket(c), Library, Temple
Riga - Switch to Library, Granary, Barracks

No Micromanagement is needed at this time. When the Musket in Androbius is complete, send it to Riga.

 

[gunning1]

Yes, after I was writing what I was saying, I was thinking the exact same thing Cyc. It would be better to use both.

 

[Cyc]

As of now, the new proposed build queues are:

Kuhkaff - Military Academy (c).
.................Please continue mining in hills and irrigate the plains
Valhalla - Settler (c), Rifleman, Settler.
.................Grasslands SW of town need to be irrigated
.................immediately. After Settler is produced, move laboer
.................from forest to grasslands.
Naerva - Cavalry (c), Harbor, Settler.
.................Needs grassland irrigated.
Gunningheim - Switch to Library (wastes 2 shields),
.................Worker, Marketplace.
.................Needs southern forest cleared and irrigated.
Androbius - Library, Settler, Aqueduct.
Riga - Library, Granary, Barracks.
Dapperdan - Switch to Harbor, Granary, Marketplace.
