Turn 55 - 1650BC

[Cheetah]

Turn played. We're continuing with the Palace (SoZ) in Thunder Falls.

I MM Fanatzuma after the screenshots, and managed to get Writing in 8 turns. I had to increase the lux slider to 20%, but we can probably lower it in a couple of turns, if we can get some more MPs. JT will be completed next turn, TF will grow to 4 in next turn, Rattylä grows and builds a Worker in two turns and Zoi builds Settler in 4.

Our military is still average to C3B, and we have a little more people than them. We have 21% of world population, and the have 19%. However, they have more land than us, 3 to 2 per cent, so I fear they will outgrow us soon if we don't expand more.

The Domestic Screen:

 

[Cheetah]

I also sent the Warrior from Fanatazuma on the way to TF or Zoi. We are starting to get in big need of MPs.

 

[Cheetah]

Our western Curragh has turned around the island and is probably heading back home. It's room for about 5-6 cities there I guess.

 

[Cheetah]

And here is our east, completely explored. I believe we should start sending some Settlers over here soon.

 

[Cheetah]

Here you can see our good friends C3B. They have built a new city, Fortaleza, along the coast.

 

[Cheetah]

Demographics: We're still second in population and mfg. goods, but we're 4th in land area! I really feel we need to expand more.

 

[gert-janl]

We really need to expand. If we don´t build the SoZ in Fanatazuma we really should build a settler soon there.

 

[Ankka]

We really really need to expand ASAP.

Zoi should build only settlers.

Fanatazuma MP guys & a settler now and then, perhaps after the current JT?

Ryttylä should also build a warrior or some other MP soldier and then a settler/worker.

 

[Matrix]

With the curragh going into C3B's direction and them building that new city ("Fortaleza"?) we should get back to that sea exploration agreement. We can't ask for that when we're at their border with the curragh.

 

[Ankka]

We got two warnings from FortyJ, the admin of the game.

In the turnthread:

Please remember that there is a time limit established for playing the game and passing the save on to the next team.

Any continued abuse of the 24 hour time limit will require the administrators to begin considering appropriate punishments.

And in the private section of ours:

There has been an official complaint about CFC's persistent tardiness in passing on the save to the next team. Please make a concerted effort to play the save and pass it on within the 24 hour time limit. Failure to do so may require the administrators to take punitive action.

 

[gert-janl]

Hmm, it shows the need for a clear Chain of Command when the President is absent. Maybe we should set a 12 hour limit for ourselves after which the deputy-President can play the save. Also, if the President knows he is away, we should know it to make sure that this problem won't occur anymore.

EDIT: 12 hours may be a very short: let's make it 16 hours after we received the save, just to make sure that save is played in time.

 

[Cheetah]

Well, I noticed the last save just a few hours after it arrived. But because we didn't know where to build SoZ I wanted to wait a while before playing it. I guess we will need a number of turns played within 24 hours now to make the other teams happy.

Of course it will be important with a clear chain of command, but another important thing is that we know what we want to do before the save arrives. I want to build Settlers in Fanatazuma after the JT, but we might need more MPs first?

And do we want a Sea exploration treaty now? Somebody should write a proposal before we review it and send it to C3B for review and then vote for it I guess... But it would need to be good as we have discarded their suggestions of a sea exploration treaty because we didn't want to explore by sea...

Since we have already sank their proposals a couple of times I think it would be a slap in the face to them to ask for it now.

 

[Ankka]

I agree with EMP.


Also, we really need to think what to do before the save arrives. We shuld discuss them a few turns before it is time for it. What are the things that are gonna happen in a few turns from now, what's gonna be built etc? We need clear orders and stuff like that.

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

simply said ,we must queue decissions for reference when no revisions are made to it due to short term circumstances.We put up a queue for atleast 10 or 20 turns ,but one that will only stay that way if no changes are made to it because something happened in the last turn ,but as good reference on what to build or alter.

An index of ongoing decissions and queue's woul be good to.

 

[Ankka]

Great ideas. I think that's the job of the CoIA.



Now where's Cheetah...

 

[Cheetah]

I'm here, I'm here.

Let me see if I can't come up with something in a few hours...

 

[Cheetah]

Alright, if you look in the Internal Affairs Ministry thread now, you'll see budgets and production timetable for the few next turns. I will add more afterwards.

I'll add Worker plans later. Is it something like that you were thinking of?

Oh, and the overviews and schedules of foreign relations I think the Foreign Ministry should take care of, and where the forces are, should be, where they will be and how they are moved is the responsibility of Military Ministry.

 

[Ankka]

I'll check it, that was just what I was thinking.
