CP orders 1758AD: temper our military a little?

January sounds about right to me, too. This is a big map, and it will take time to build roads and RR. The biggest problem may be getting the other civs to stay dead once we kill them. We could overrun the entire map and still have to go back and re-search empty lands for one or 2 new Capitals or Japanese or Spanish civs.

The respawning civs can be a problem, but that can be solved by letting 1 city of every civ survive and take them all in one turn.
(I know the people including me voted against that plan in the past but we might reconsidder this)

With an army of 30 engineers we can build RR (instant movement) on a 10 tile stratch every turn.
Railroading mountains will take longer but we can just build city's on the mountain passes.

If we take the time before we get Exp and RR to build a horde of Fanatics and Cannons then we can switch all our city's to engineers when we get the techs.
And as most civ's will have their core roaded we only need to build RR to the edges of their core.

Simply put I believe we can win this in another 5-6 sessions when we play the numbersgame right.

Anyone else see the irony in this

Science Minister who is more concerned about the overall state of our nation then only his private army of researchers.

Thanks, although we could use more science improvements.

Well, since leaving 1 city from each civ alive was frowned upon earlier when I brought it up as a strategy, I had no reason to think it might be reconsidered. I'm glad to see we might possibly want to consider this in the future.

Its a Demogame isnt it? We can do anything we want

[cavebear]

Darn Right!

I think libraries and universities in Fundy are a waste of tax $$$. I would rather see a cathedral in a large fundy city then library and University, Makes citizen happy AND creates tithes.

The rest of this game is going to be based more on financial power and mobility of units so I vote for more diplomats and settlers (which will become engineers when we take washington) If any improvements are built they should be in the core, let the outer cities work toward global domination, as we expand outward it will be less important for those cities to produce units and they can begin the markets and library's.

We don't need to worry about this any more. According to Monk's posting on the strategy forum, we are past the date when there are no more re-spawns.

Actually, Cathedrals make people content, not happy, and not in Fundy - all they do for us now is add 3 gold/turn.

I'm not sure the return makes building Cathedrals worthwhile.

somehow I think it will not be funny to copile the poll into a report....50/50 sweet...

comon pll vote, drag other ppl in and force them (if necessary) to vote.

No more respawns? That helps.

Might be better to wait until we get Mike's Chapel from the Germans

[atawa]

The only problem is Germans are in Fundi and we have to go through Zulu to get there.

But that wont take long

orders have been sent/served

The Minister of War report has also been sent (seemed like a good place to mention it).

[Sparrowhawk]

The report of the Foreign Minister has been sent to President atawa.

This foreign minister looks forward to hearing how next the turning of the seasons goes, nearly as much as the American people look forward to joining our Imperium
