CP orders 1540AD part2

[Ben Kenobi]

at the moment we only have 11 active settlers(for 32 cities!)

/me dreams of 64 Engineers.

I'd settle for 20.

Can we get an update on the time it will take us to get to Fundy, and how much irrigation will be done in the intervening time? The irrigation will pay off under fundy, with no unhappiness, and it is only a liability whilst under our old Feudal Monarchy.

What is the rush with roads? Unless we have a force able to use the roads to get to trouble areas they aren't that useful for highly corrupt cities. The irrigation, however, could speed filling the food box allowing for faster Xinning turnaround, and will benefit even more in Fundy.

reports have been send.

It has just occurred to me that there is a quicker irrigation path; over the Mountain. If we use the Mountain it takes 10 turns instead of the 5 turns for a Grass or Desert square, but that gets us to the useful squares faster.

Path:

but then again I hope we will upgrade the terrain of Newton sometime in the future.
(getting rid of the jungle,desert,etc,... )

It is up to you, of course, but consider that there will be 15 turns wasted irrigating the first 2 Grass and 1 Desert squares outside city borders (plus the 4 non-road movement turns), but only 10 turns wasted irrigating the Mountain (plus 1 non-road movement turn).

19 or 11...

Irrigating a mountain?

it won't be the first
We would also need to irrigate 2 mauntains to get water to Atomant's Hell and all the cities in that area.


(I'll leave the choice to our notoriuos leader, report was already send)
