The Senate. 1st Session

[Timeline]

As I stated in the other thread about the subject:

Doing what I did here was really choosing the lesser of two evils.

An early settler like that loses its advantage every turn it wanders, and these guys are not supposed to be explorer units. You gotta drop it as soon as you can. Once I saw that river, alongside a coast, with a mountain nereby that may be our only hope at finding Iron.....I gambled it would be our best bet for awhile. Besides, even looking back, I am not sure 9 turns of walking east to form a city in hostile land would have been a good idea.

I did what I thought was best, and I know most of you understand that. I wouldn't criticize anyone if they were caught in that dilemma.

A question for our leaders

I see that it appears as if our research is set to 90% and that we are spending 36 turns at that rate to discover Iron Working.

Is this so?

And if so, how many commerce per turn are going into research?

Trip? civman? Anybody?

[civman2000]

No, 10% is into science, 90 into money, you've got it backward

[notyoueither]

That would be great. I'm at work and I've been sick.

But why then 0gpt income, or is it 2?

I guess we're still paying the French. Darn, I hate those deals for gpt.

Thanks for the prompt reply BTW.

[Ninot]

we would be making a little gpt, but we changed the city tyle focus for more production

but your friendly neighborhood foreign advisor got us some lump sum money to use, so no worries

[notyoueither]

I saw. The trade to get Pottery and some gold was most fortunate.

It seems as if Trip has a knack for discovery and you wasted no time with the opportunity. Excellent.

[Ninot]

Trip AND Uber... Uber did give the directions after all.

[notyoueither]

Thank you for the correction.

Or... Vlad...

[shameless plug]Actually, I was the one that suggested we go along the mountain chain, while Uber wanted to follow the coast. [/shameless plug]

[Spiffor]

While we made 3 gpt 3 turns ago, we now make zero gpt because :
Our labourers in Apolyton don't work on the whales tile, but on the mined grassland tile : +1 shield, -1 commerce
We pay the upkeep of the barracks, -1 gpt
Our labourers in BHQ now work on the cleared jungle tile, +1 food, -1 commerce

[Kuciwalker]

We cleared the Jungle tile? I need to stop missing the turnchats.

timeline made a decision based on the information at hand, an assumption and the future of our people. i commend him for his decision, however it now appears that it was a bad call.
