Millitary orders 1160AD

[shade]

not much to decide again...

At this moment we need 2 more techs and Leo's to get us from zero to hero(invention and gunpowder)...don't think this will be a problem.

I've taken a look at our military status: all units are acounted for, the only units outside a city are triremes, 1 horsemen and 1 warrior.
The only point of "trouble" I could see would be the city of Santanders: it has 2 shieds production(3 with next pop) and has now 2 units in support(1 warrior and one settler---> 1 new warrior comming up(future musketman) )

Our army consists out of 19 phalanxes and 15 warriors( and just a few stronger units)--> id est we will not be fighting any wars. The reason why we will probably constantly at war with the 3 known nations is because they are all allied to oneanother...(**** happens )

What orders do we have to take?

1) do we send a trireme to obladi? stationed there it can patrol, transport caravans to the carths for quick profits and diplo's for cheap units.

2) The horsemen : should they explore south or go north to the unexplored territory or go home to a city...no risks when we go Rep

3) the trireme(white arrow) just pick one option
-->1) immediatly go north
-->2) go north after little island
-->3) go further before going north
(this is if the paths are 'possible')

4) should we use the diplo's for further devious acts or will we become saviours of culture and humanity ?

5) guess that's all other questions/suggestions/...

= bad, evil, will to devious things that might cause wars and unhappines like poison watersuplies,sabotage and steal techs.

= good, honest, will establish embassies and don't attack enemy cities/units...they will only explore or go back to hometown.

I thought that wasn't that hard to understand...good and evil seem universal things

one could say that the definition of good v evil left out Shade(s) of gray?

I need a drink my dry wit is escaping me...

I know what good and evil mean, just, I didn't know what you meant by them in this way.

I thought the meaning was pretty clear when Shade said...

= "Diplomats (whether used for good or evil) and caravans."

Good diplomat -- bolsters homeland defense through bribery of barbs, increases intelligence by establishing embassies.

Evil diplomat -- steals technology, incites revolts, etc.

The point, I believe, is that dips are good to build because they can be used in many ways, don't cost much, and require no support.

Is anyone aboard that trireme? If not, it's kind of a waste -- but would take forever to get back to civilzation.

I suggest that the boat just continue to map the coastline of the land it abuts now, hoping it continues to lead north.

the one north carries a warrior(white arrows)
the one south is empty(with the dashed arrow) but "relativly" close to freeport

I know what good and evil mean, just, I didn't know what you meant by them in this way.

don't worry I only use my ammoral behaviour in real life , not for something so important as Civ

Do we realy need those NON units? If we get leo's our problems with defence will be over anyway.

I'd rather put those resources in caravans and improvements.

~100G/unit is cheap...we don't need them now but when those Japs start to get to much on our nerves we won't need to build units ourselves
