Minister of the Economy Official Post: Economic Forum

[Donal Graeme]

This is the place where you can post all of your ideas, suggestions, questions and flames about the current 5 Turn plan. You can find the plan here. Remember, good advice is always welcome.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Suggestion: you may want to include a link in your 5-turn plan thread to here, where people can post.

[Donal Graeme]

Already did. At least, I am pretty sure that I linked it here...

[Spiffor]

A question :
Why are there city planning orders in your plan ? Are those orders suggestions adressed to the city planner ?

2nd question :
If, by any chance, we can trade goods with a neighbour during the turnthread, what would be your commercial policy (you have all authority on trading goods)

[UnOrthOdOx]

Damn, Donal.

I think that it would get confusing to some to post your economic plan topped, but have all plans within. Ah, hell, I'll PM you about this.

[Donal Graeme]

I think that everything has been taken care of now. I even changed the link to the new thread.

Already working on it Panag, but good point. Clearing this jungle will not help us for a while, as our cities are too small at the moment, but once we have cathedrals and collosseums we will need the shields. Plus, we will want to have lots of roads to move units around for defensive purposes.

[Shiber]

Are you planning to clear jungle tiles that are adjacent to rivers and within city radiuses? If we're lucky they'll turn into floodplains, and if we're very lucky they'll have wheat too.

[Donal Graeme]

Last I checked when you clear a Jungle it will turn into Grassland, not a desert, and then floodplain. The only way i know of getting a flood-plain would be to use Nukes or have global warming.

[Reddawg]

We won't get floodplains by clearing jungles.

But the jungles are causing more and more disease, I suspect that any turn now we're going to have high death rates among the lower class (i.e. we may see population DECREASES in the worst areas).

[Shiber]

According to the civilopedia clearing a jungle tile turns it into a grasslands tile. However, if this tile is near a river there's a chance it will turn into a floodplains tile.

Flood plains would be great for a city building workers/settlers.

[Shiber]

Yeah, they're awesome! They provide 3 food per turn and might contain wheat which provides an additional 2 food per turn. However they cannot be mined or irrigated.

Edit: scratch that, they can be irrigated for 1 additional food per turn.
To sum up, a town with a flood plains tile within its radius never goes hungry.
