[Rik Meleet]

I am playing the quarter-final of a national bridge tournament on March 7th. It is unlikely I'll be home in time to post instructions.

I've asked my deputy, Civanator, to post them.

If he can't or won't or generally doesn't; I have 1 poll running.

Research after Republic - part II

Good luck in the TC, I hope I can join the latter part of the TC.

Our Goals:

- Sieze initial locations for early victories
- Gain at least 1 ally
- Turn Berry into a production Machine
- Start wars across several Babylonian fronts

Total Armed forces:
- 15 Warriors
- 1 Archer
- 6 Spearmen
- 6 Swordsmen
- 3 Horsemen
- 3 Galleys

- 2 Warriors and 1 Swordsmen outside of Nippur to sieze the city immediately. They are to hold the city and the Swordsmen and possibly the warriors (at least one would be left as garrison however) to attack any unit that enters the radius of the city.

(The bolded area is reffered to as the "Nippur Instructions"

- 1 Swordsmen in Santa Lucia to proceed to Nippur and perform the "Nippur instructions"

- 1 Swordsmen in VM to head to Nippur and perform the "Nippur Instructions"

- 2 Horsemen near the Egypitian City of Buto to head to the Nippur front, They will not arrive for this turnchat, and their instructions will depend on what happenes in the next 10 turns.

- The Swordsmen in Production at VM and SL are to perform the "Nippur Instructions". Any military unit made in the immediate area is to head there. I will require a spearmen eventually to garrison Nippur.

- All units in Mure to hold and possiblt to attack units in the City Radius. If 50% or more of the units in Mure are killed, abandon the city and camp the moutains outside of the city to kill units in the area as a last-ditch attempt to draw troops there.

- The Warrior NE of Mure is to head to Mure, Making the Garrison total of 4 units.

- Any units in Mure are to hold the city at all costs.

- 1 Swordsmen in Sanction to kill the Barbarian, and to head to Groton to reinforce Zariqum when attacked.

- 1 Swordsmen in Groton to Attack and Hold Zariqum as long as possible. When more units enter the city from producition in the general area or the reinforcements from Sanction arrive, Sorties can be launched.

- Any unit created East of (And including) Montipellier go to the "Mure-Groton" Front to attack any unit that comes near the cities we hold.

- If Mure connects its Iron, upgrade all the warriors to swordsmen.

- 1 Warrior S of Sippar to Sieze the city, heal, then Sieze Shuruppak. I suggest Sippar be raized so we do not have to hold 2 cities with 1 unit and to weaken enemy morale.

Other Units:

- 1 Warrior NW of Cijam to Guard Cijam for Egyptian Expansion attempts
- 1 Warrior in Vandelay to act as a settler guard
- 1 Warrior near the egyptian city of Buto to proceed to DR, then to guard any Settlers needing a guard or to head for the Nippur Front.
- all Galleys to explore coasts and sink Barbarian or possibly Babylonian ships.

- All other units are to hold their positions. Any units created are to be sent to their nearest front or to Garrison empty cities or to guard settlers.

Preliminary Ruling
Judicial Review - T3 - 1

Although the Judicial Review has not been completed formally it is at the stage where 2 of the 3 Justices can confirm that the Minister Internal Affairs has the authority to post TC Instructions on a change in government on condition that the Minister is adhering to Article J

 

[Furiey]

Peace Treaties:
For Civ’s we are not at War with:

• Initiate none this chat.
• If asked to renegotiate peace by the AI, please do so.

If we are contacted by Babylon for peace terms, only accept if:

• all our alliances have expired or been broken by others
• the terms are for equality or better

Please check each turn to see whether the Babylonians will acknowledge our envoy. If they do please stop the chat so that the terms can be discussed in the forums.

Embassies: None this chat

War Declarations: None this chat (one’s enough!), and if war is declared on us by another Civ, please stop the chat so that we can reconsider our alliances.

Tribute Demands: As per this poll I will continue with the existing instructions, so 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 (other than from Babylon of course), please stop the chat and we can determine what to do in the forums.

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.

Military Alliances: As per the results of this poll and this poll please form a Military Alliance against Babylon with Russia, then if possible Germany. The cost of these alliances is as follows:

• Russia = 108 gold or 6 gpt (I do not know which option the senate will approve)
• Germany = 11 gpt plus 2 gold, although this may change after we make the alliance with Russia so please make the best deal possible

 

[Bootstoots]

The slider is to be kept as low as possible (without increasing turns on research) until we get Republic. After that, we are to return to 90% science and 10% taxes for the duration of the chat.

200 gold can be used for unit upgrades.

Any gold expenditure necessary for alliances with other civs against Babylon is approved.

Instructions for 50 AD

Settler Instructions: Use the maps in this poll for guidance
Settler by Vandelay -> Z
Settler Vandelay will produce -> B

NOTE: Do not move any settlers unless there is either a military escort or you feel there is no military threat to that settler, including barbarians.

Government Change:
None - although the switch now option had more votes, it failed to acheive 50% of the total votes - that is not enough support for me.

MIA Controlled Cities:
Groton:
Build: Temple
Queue: Barracks,
Micro-Manage: none

Sanction:
Build: Settler
Queue: Granary, Barracks
Micro-Manage: None. When it grows, MM to maximize growth

• Possible alliance with Germany is too costly (162 gold plus 10 gpt OR Contact with Egypt and our World Map)

I could hardly believe it when I saw this.

The way I would have done it was

1. Greece gives 11g, wm for philosophy.
2. We donate currency and construction to Greece.
3. Greece gets free monotheism. This lowers the price, which was formerly too high.
4. Greece gives monotheism for literature, 20g, contact with Babylon and India.
5. Germany gives alliance vs. Babylon, 60g for contact w Greece, Egypt.
6. Russia gives alliance vs. Babylon, 120g for contact w Greece, Egypt.
7. Egypt gives 93g, wm for contact w Babylon.
8. Greece gives alliance vs. Babylon, 20g for wm.
9. India gives alliance vs. Babylon for ROP, polytheism, construction, 25g.
10. Egypt gives alliance vs. Babylon for currency, philosophy, construction.
    [/list=1]
    Thus instead of paying 6gpt for 1 ally, we get monotheism, 260g, 5 allies.
