Suggestions before ending turn in 210BC

[Shiber]

Aggie: no, because you'll need to play into the next turn to see the effects of Monarchy (we'll be in anarchy for a turn).

i say split the building up between the city least to be attack building barracks to make units to releave the city in most danger of attack that are making citywalls

That would be a good compromise.

[Shiber]

I agree.
Barracks in strategic locations, walls in slow-growing towns under constant threat.

[DeathByTheSword]

that way we can reinforce our critical cities (every time I want to put down 'bases' but thats another DG) with verteren units and we can build our defenses against the main german (is it german?) attack

EDIT: now just looking what the critical cities are! i havent got the time for that to busy with DGsmac

[Aggie]

Shiber I made alittle misstatement. I mean could we go to revelution(anarchy), so we can see happiness needs. Sorry for the error.

Even Firaxis programmed the AI to avoid building walls because they knew there were much better options available.

Firaxis, or you, have missed something, since the AI never (or extremely rarely) build barracks and produces mainly standard units. Their veterans status is gained in battle.

As for your comparison, its validity depends all of the time available ; with plenty of time, of course build barracks first, but the cities we are talking about are nearly under fire.

[Shiber]

Well, the rules state that doing something that you cannot undo (e.g. make a trade, move a unit, go to anarchy) is playing ahead. Therefore you cannot do that. Bummer.
Btw, if I was the MoE I'd raise the entertainment slider to 10% prior to the revolution. I might have even left it on 10% until we signed a peace treaty with Germany and Persia ('cause of war weariness).

[Aggie]

Well as long as the prez is made aware there is not a problem. He can handle it.

I suggest you consult the MoE and the city planners and then advise the president to either raise the entertainment slider or turn some laboring citizens to entertainers in Mingapulco and possibly in Here It Is.

[adaMada]

Shiber, I assume you've forwarded your recommendation re: the entertainment slider to the MoE, right? If not, perhaps you should PM him...

Just a thought.

I was just about to.

When we go into revolution, I must make sure to check all cities and reassign, raise lux etc until there is no disorder. That reminds me - I must ask Apoc and Donal how high I can go with the lux rate if it needs more than 10% - it would only be one turn at whatever it needs to be.

[Shiber]

I'm sure you'll do a good job treating unhappiness. However I think the lux slider needs to stay at at least 10% until we sign a peace treaty with the Persians and the Germans, to treat war weariness.

[Shiber]

The Persians and Germans declared war on us so war weariness should be late to come. However, we've been in war with them for quite some time. I don't know if war weariness starts to build up from the moment you switch to a government that suffers from war weariness or from the moment the war begins. If the latter is true, we'll need to keep the lux slider on at least 10% until we sign a peace treaty.
