Preident's Message

[cavebear]

OK, the polls are closed. Several items of business...

First, 123John321 - Please send me the game file. Ignoring the "nospam" my address is:

nospamcavebearathome@comcast.net nospam

Second, Ministers please email me their addresses to the same as above. Hydey already sent me his.

Third, I will send the Ministers the file as soon as I have it so they can post polls quickly (and let's get things going without delays, Honorable Ministers). I will also post lots of screenshots as soon as I have the game file.

Fourth, we have had unfortunate but completely reasonable delays in getting the game moving forward (real life takes its toll), but I plan to do my best to avoid those problems and set a good schedule this term. Not hasty, but with positive forward motion!

I need H Tower's email, to send him the game file...

I'm not going to post a poll this time around, since MOW Hydey has done a great job with polls that also deal with city-planning issues. However, it is my opinion that we need to step back a bit to consolidate and improve our cities' production and worker population, and to get our tech research improved.

In general, I hope the Citizens will allow me to convert settler production into less costly units for a while, to grow our cities to size 3 to maximize free unit support and use the settlers we build to get a little trade going (for gold and research - those researchers have to be paid and fed, you know)!

It looks like we are off to a good start this term. We will finding other civs pretty soon; maybe we will even be able to trade a tech for Monarchy! Meanwhile, we have quite a good army at our command (4 warriors, 5 archers, and 2 horse).

Perhaps we paid a price to get them last term at city-development expense, but we are covering a lot of territory, and I think it is worth having them out there exploring!

This is a good point to re-evaluate our production and make some group decisions on how to proceed next.

When we get Monarchy, we are going to explode all over the map.

I believe I saw our Minister of War calling it weak

good stuff Cavebear, lets keep this puppy rolling

[cavebear]

H Tower, PM received, game file sent.

I think we have a *good* army. Most early ones are warriors and maybe a horse. Archers are formidable and I like having them.

The Minister of War always wants better and more units, of course.

[Hydey]

I would be failing the people if I did not ask for a better , more powerful army.

/me minister of WAR

[cavebear]

Your desire for a better army is understood.

[cavebear]

I plan to play the next session tommorrow evening, 24 hours from now. Just wanted to let everyone know.

[Ben Kenobi]

the minister of war would prefer we settle the unrest in our cities and then build a huge attack force made up of better units
