  • Consul's Poll - 1740 AD

    We will soon be able to get off this island and search for the lands that must exist elsewhere (there have been passing ships of strange people).

    Which direction should we explore first?

    I have voted banana. This means I have no idea which direction to explore in and believe our wise consul's coin is luckier than mine. Perhaps we could head in the direction that the last sighted vessel appeared to come from - whichever that was.

      Wouldn't we want to avoid land we suspect is already occupied?

        Since the vessels spotted during my tenure were heading West - East to our North, I suggest towards the South of our land.

          That would make sense to me.

            I suppose it depends on whether we want to find:

            a) virgin territory on which we can settle

            b) occupied territory that we can conquer

            c) cities that we can trade with.

            The problem with heading in the opposite direction to the suspected land is that it could be a much longer journey with no guarantee that any land we find will be un-occupied.

            But this citizen is happy to leave the decision to our wise consul.

              Well, it seems to me that most discussion has involved establishing some additional cities. So I would think virgin terriroy would be best. Of course, it is possible there is none and that we are surrounded by populous civs. We may have to search for other islands, penninsula tips, or small unoccupied parts of other civs' territories. We just won't know till we get out there and look around.

                    In anycase, it looks as if the poll will give the consul complete freedom.

                      I would hope my 'Southwest' would effectively count for a vote for 'South' in this situation.

                        My thought is that we should find some unoccupied land to found a couple of new cities, and while those are getting established use the Caravel to send a couple of Caravans to large other-civ cities for $$$ and science beakers.

                          I voted Banana as I do not like the options of picking one direction. I believe we should explore in a circular pattern, exploring as much territory as possible around our island. In this way we will find the closest landmass which I think should be our priority.

                          Also, with the "finger" of ocean which someone ?Zedd? explored previously, it would be simple to go clockwise and counterclockwise in a "C" pattern to do so.

                            Well, we have to pick *some* direction to go to first. Certainly, we want to explore in all direction eventually. But which direction do you want me to go on the initial voyage of the Apolyton Ship "AS Minnow"?
