This is not a discussion thread.

 

[Sarevok]

I am beyond busy at this point, so I will be unable to post instructions. Unfortunately, I do not have a deputy as there have been no volunteer's. Therefore I hope that the president can come up with the best possible military solutions.

Ministry of Internal Affairs instructions for 410 A.D.

Settler Instructions:
North-eastern settler: Move 1 square SE and build
Vandelay settler (in training): Site in NE hills

Build: Courthouse, if approved, Cash rush (CHANGE)
Queue: Cathedral, if approved, Cash rush after 1 turn of production, Forbidden Palace
Micro-Manage: Re-allocate laborers as shown below:
5 laborers available

If enough luxuries or Entertainment from slider is available to put laborers to work, maximize production. From my testing, 6 shields is max. When city grows, maximize production while still allowing some excess food.

[Furiey]

Military Alliances: Please do not form any Military Alliances this chat.

Peace Treaties: Initiate none this chat. If asked to renegotiate peace by another Civ, please do so.

Embassies: None this chat

War Declarations: None this chat, and if war is declared on us by another Civ, please stop the chat so that we can decide what to do in the forums.

Tribute Demands: Please reject all tribute demands from Russia unless the demand is trivial (10 gold or less and/or a territory map). From other countries, pay all tribute demands that do not exceed 40 gold or 2 gpt or that include technologies, cities, or contacts. If the demand exceeds 40 gold, 2 gpt, or includes contacts, techs, or cities, reject the demand.

Territory incursions: Do not request or demand that any nation move its troops from our territory during this turn chat. If what appears to be a possible invasion force arrives near a city, please stop the chat and we can determine what to do in the forums.

Please monitor the route being taken by the Indian Warrior within our territory and report during the chat, so that the route is recorded for future reference. Please do the same for any other incursions that occur.

New contacts: It is not mandatory that the chat be stopped if we make a new contact. I would recommend, however, that the chat be stopped if a new contact provides a good trading possibility.

Build Queues

Note 1: I post instructions for +1 and +2 happiness; not to increase happiness is such a f***-up that I don't want to deal with it. The DP is free to allocate 1 scientist, taxmen, and even entertainers as needed and necessary.

Note 2: As we all know(?) growing above pop 7 takes 40 food and thus is stupid for settler/worker production. Therefor Cijam should build the settler ASAP and NOT wait for growth to pop 8.

Vandelay: library, market
+1 lux: mm to use 2 mined mountains; don't work SW flood plain
+2 lux: work one more mined plain

Cijam: settler, settler, library, market
work mined plain instead of flood plain
+1 lux: work mined plain
+2 lux: work mined desert

St. Octaviansburg: market, aqueduct
+1 lux: work the mined hill
once the SE jungle is cleared and irrigated, work it instead of the irrigated NE plains until we reach pop 6; then work the (soon) 2nd mined hill and the plains again instead of the irrigated grassland

Raven's Flight: library, harbor; please work newly cleared/mined tile with the next citizen and after culture expansion citizen 5 should work the fish

New Falcons Heaven: granary, suicide galleys until we make contact, library, market
next citizen shall work forest, 6th the then mined mountain

Cabaret Voltaire: library, market
please work the forest instead of the hill; next citizen works the then mined hill

Ooligaria: library, market
once we have the 2nd flood plain irrigated, use it
once we have the mountain mined, use it instead of the irrigated plains

standing wishes
if it is at all possible, please mm cities to coincide building of settlers/workers with pop growth
once a tile is improved, if possible please mm city in order use "best" improved tiles

wishlist for worker actions in Audiac
I'm not sure whether as Governor I can give instructions, (I'm not even sure who can) but I would like to give the following suggestions:

Cijam:
2 workers available 2SW: road the flood plain, mine the wheat(urgent, urgent, urgent; please mm afterwards), irrigate the flood plain we started on, road the desert N of Ooligaria, mine and road the mountain SW of Ooligaria, mine and road the mountain between Ooligaria and Vandelay

Ooligaria/Cabaret Voltaire:
2 workers W of the city finish irrigation, build road; move SW and build road, move on forest and road, move on hill and road and mine, move SE and irrigate and mine

St. Octaviansburg:
worker plus slave clear jungle, irrigate (mm to use it) and road it, mine NEE tile

Raven's Flight:
clear, mine, road the remaining jungle, join the jungle clearing crew SE of St. O(!!!), mine the hill W of St.O., mine and road the hill NWW of St.O.

New Falcon's Heaven:
2 workers on mountain mine and road it, afterwards 1 roads and irrigates the plains NW of NFH, followed by irrigating and roading the plains SE of NFH; then joins colleague below
concurrently the other worker roads and mines the mountain S of him

I've just regained internet access. As you know due to the upload-server downtime and my internet-access trouble, I was unable to get and check the save and I therefore am unable to forfill my T&T duties for this TC.

I give president zorven carte-blanche in all T&T-matters. This means the DP can do anything he likes with relations to T&T, as long the decisions are reasonable.

<edit>T&T is in favor of trading Eridu (as seen in this poll).
T&T also supports the incense for dyes (+ extra's if needed), which is a side-topic of this poll.</endedit>

I herewith announce that I will ask for some judicial reviews (currently I think of 3) based on the actions which took place in this turnchat.

Up to now I concentrated on suggesting "good play" with varying success. Now I will explore the other part of the demogame.
