External Consulate’s instructions for the 5/28/2005 turnchat. Specific instructions appear first; the Term 3 Policy appears next, for reference purposes.

Specific Instructions

1. In all instances, the DP has the freedom to adapt instructions to the ever-changing game conditions. Our only stipulation is that the spirit of the instructions and long-term goals of the External Consulate be adhered to. Changing details to achieve the same (or similar) end is fine.

2. We should complete our annexation of the Netherlands this turn. When the CoAF has his troops in position, declare war on the Netherlands. We will capture Delft and Leiden. Please raze Delft unless in-game conditions suggest we should keep it for some reason.

3. We are continuing our war against France. When the CoAF has sufficient troops in place to defend PDX, Bloomington, and Cengiz, please send a task force northward (through Spain) towards Paris. We should attack and capture Spanish and French cities on our way to Paris. It’s unlikely we’ll have enough troops to capture more than a city or two this turn, and it’s very unlikely we’ll make it to Paris; but that’s the ultimate destination. (In fact, we may not get to this during the coming turn). Try not to have troops in enemy territory more than two or three turns at a time in order to minimize War Weariness. (Although when we move through jungle or over mountains we’ll obviously need to take more time that we’d prefer.) We have a MA against the French with Persia (1 turns left) and China (no turns left; but still in force). Please do not break these MAs.

4. We are continuing our war against Spain. Please capture Valencia this turn. When we move troops northward from PDX, Bloomington, and Cengiz, please capture any Spanish cities we find in the fog. The DP may keep or raze these cities at her discretion. We have MAs against Spain with Persia (1 turn left) and Portugal (10 turns left). Please do not break these MAs.

5. We have a ROP with China that will last one more turn. Please do not break this. When it expires, I suggest we leave it in place. If China wants to renegotiate it, I suggest we do so if we can get it at minimal cost. Although China is a target of ours, they’re very weak (only 2 cities) and annexing them is not a priority this coming turn.

6. Our war with the Byzantines continues. We have a MA with Persia against the Byzantines that last one more turn. Please do not break the MA. Unless the Byzantines offer us an amazing peace deal, I see no reason to make peace with them (they’ve declared war on us, so we get War Happiness from them).

7. Our peace treaty with Portugal expires in 10 turns. We will not break the peace. If they do so, please capture Canton & whatever city it is N/NE of Cengiz (we can see Portuguese borders, but don’t see the city itself).

8. Madame President, it's been a pleasure working with you and the rest of the cabinet this term. Thanks for all the fun.

External Consulate – Policy for Term 3

Our Guiding Philosophy

Our long term strategy is to annex enough of the pangaea so that our territory is just below the domination limit. We expect we will at least annex most of the land up to and including the point where the Persian city Gordium currently stands.

We will seek to cripple the ability of all other Civilizations to win the game before we achieve our cultural goal of 130,000 points. This also means we cannot allow another Civ to reach 65,000 cultural points.

Long Term Foreign Affairs

1. We are now strong enough that we will not submit to any demands from another country.
2. We encourage warfare and disharmony among our rivals. Such disharmony will be achieved through trade and alliances.
3. We will not enter into alliances, trades, or GPT deals with countries we think we will be at war with within 20 turns.
4. Once we establish a choke point at Gem Mountain we will consider entering into ROPs with other civs.
5. Portugal (and the Pyramids) are a target for annexation.
6. France is a target for annexation.
7. Spain is a target for annexation.
8. Persia (& its Great Library) is a target for annexation.
9. China (or its remains) is a target for annexation.
10. Our policy is whenever possible any civ that has attacked us should be left with one city. Currently France, Persia, Byzantine, Spain, and Portugal fall into this category. However, we well may elect to eliminate some of those civs from the map.
11. Once we’ve established a chokepoint at Gem Mountain, we will demand that any “wandering” troops from another civ must leave our territory on our home continent. (Our home continent is all land west of Gem Mountain.) If not, we will declare war.
12. We will attack and destroy any city that is building the Smith’s Great Wonder. This wonder is to be ours.

Military Affairs

1. We will soon make war with the Dutch and annex their remaining territory.
2. China is a target but they are weak; we have a ROP so we can move through their territory.
3. France has declared war on us. We will continue the war and seek MAs against them.
4. The Byzantines have declared war on us. We have formed alliances against them, which expired; and will form additional ones. We expect this to be a phony war.
5. The Spanish have declared war on us. We have taken their city of Murcia and will capture Valencia. As we march north to Paris, we’ll capture additional Spanish cities.
6. We are at peace with Portugal. However, they remain a target of ours.
7. The Great Library (held by the Persians) is a military target for us.

Ok... Due to lack of time (my fault) for a poll, I'm going to assume we want Sistines in donsignia. As for the Heroic Epic, its placing doesnt really matter too much, so in it goes to Husborne County. I have a feeling that may end up our Military Academy site too.
