Imperial Expansion Ministers Report 240AD

[atawa]

We now have 15 city's and are first in land area

But as this is Deity and we have no happy wonder yet we should start focussing more on exploration and building up our city's then just trying to build as many city's as we can

We also need a bigger navy for exploration and caravan delivery
Our fleet should have at least 5 tiremmes asap, 2 for caravan delivery and 3 for exploration.

The island of Vigo and the island east should get our imediate attention, Vigo is undefended and we dont know how far north the Japs are expanding

If we can claim that island we can start to encircle them

In the next couple of maps I put some suggestions for new citysites and roadbuilding projects.

(I found out I could just nistall paint from my W98 cd )

Eastern main island

We should build a road from Salamanca to Barcelona asap, this will increase both our delivery speed and revenue from our caravans

I have marked 3 potential cityspots:

The one in the south has a seal nearby giving it good trade (and happyness in rep)

In the east is a good spot for a harbour to send our caravans from. (And our army should the need arise )

The city north of Vigo is just the next logical step in our expansion north.

Question to our Prime Minister: What the hell is Pamplona doing on a forrest?
If it was build one step north like I suggested we could have had another good city where the little mark is....

And the lack of trade makes forrest city's a pain in the ass in rep

Anyway, I mapped out the transisland highway and the 3 most usefull cityspots:

The north we can grow very quick and once in rep we can mine the wheat to silk

The whale city...has a whale

And the eastern city is a good place for a ferryservice with our main island.

1. Pamplona will be a small city of high production any trade arrows it needs will come from trade routes which makes it much better to build on the forest .

2. I hate building on shielded grassland and as you only gave the dodgy instuctions of building a production city using the whale and pheasant, I built it on the best available site to accomplish this task.

3. most useful cityspots in your opinion only

If it has a whale and bird, why would you want to keep it small?

Build on grass, in monarchy and using the whale it would have taken 7 turns to grow to size 2.
Then using the bird it will grow to size 3 in another 8 turns.

While build on the forrest it will take 20 turns for size 2 if we continue using the whale

3. most useful cityspots in your opinion only

I had not even posted the map when you wrote that, relax Hydey, its only a game

Pole island

This island looks promising

The cityspot in the west looks as though it could have a whale waiting for us at sea once we send our ships out

In the north I suggest wait what, if any, special waits in the NW corner, It might be worthwhile to build on the jungle.

the trade minister applauds the expansion minister's plan to connect our country by roads as well as his desire to increase the fleet for transportation needs

Well then you will stop slagging me off for putting cities in what I consider a better spot when the minister failed to advise on the spot the people agreed to by polling.

looks nice...
about building on a forest:
last map the forest next to A...when we build a city there we get the peasant and the fish and there is the possibility that a special is hidden under the gras just under B(it's a perfect spot in connection to the above and it could be a third one for the 2 wheats of the city underneath.)

Point taken. I should have said on the grass then.

If I ever forget that again:

Mr President, please refrain from building any more city's on forrests unless its build on a bird

Case closed.

Good point, and if we mine that grassland chances are there's a silk underneath $$$

But I believe we can never have enough port city's in an island game. And when we get mike's we can build all the city's we want.


On below map is marked how I would develop this island further.

The red spots are possible whale sites.

With city's at a,b,c,d, and a harbour further east we have a good connection with the north island once it builds a port on the western tip.

Those 4 city's are all ports so can build ships and can get good revenue from caravans

Oh, and I would build it ADCB btw

[H Tower]

city D would give us a canal to cut through the continent
