City Planner: Help request.

[nz_upy]

Almost immediately after/as the above military builds are finished and sent to dismember the remainder of the Persian Empire. We WILL be ushered into a GA via Sistines which we can then use in developing our infrastructure and pushing our advantages to become the outright dominan force in this game.

Take it off the hill, AGC has to produce excess food to grow so it can produce settlers and workers.



Tyre CANNOT produce excess food. It has to stay size 2 so it can disband the city when the settler is produced.

That's all I can help you with though.

I didn't know we were abandoning Tyre, thanks.

Here's another question.

Given a city with one turn left to complete a WC switches to a Knight. How much would it cost to rush buy the Knight from this point? If it is less then 100L, them we should switch all cities building WC over to Knights in order to rush buy them for cheaper than it is to upgrade.

Also, how many shields does it take to build A) a WC and B) horseman. Is it cost effective to build Horseman instead as it only costs 80L to upgrade them?

Would cost 150 to rush to a knight.

We can no longer build horse as they are outdated. UU never become outdated.

Unortho, the plan according to ghengis is to build settler at size 2 and move it alittle to the Ne(I don't have a map, but i think, e,n(on road 1 turn) and rebuild it there. This way geofront can become a producing power house and tyre can expand our border somewhat.

Instead of hurrying knights (or cavalries later) we should build a WC and upgrade it to a knight for a greatly reduced cost.

New Tyre would be the production powerhouse with almost half it's tiles being hills!

However, moving the worker to the grassland produces an extra gold and speeds up the time to size 2, I don't think GF realized it was size 1 now.

I agree shiber thats why I want the cities I mentioned to change to knight. 2 of those cities could produce knights within 8 turns and the other could produce ones in the 10-15 turn timeframe. However if the money was available we could just do the wc to knight thing I was really impressed with the idea, but I also realize there will be a desire to use money on improvements. So I see it as this choice, do we commit our money or production to war. If the choice is production to buildings then we build wc and if it is war we build knights and rush improvements(after we have upgraded some chariots) . I would like wc in several other cities particularly geo and other cities that are small. This way we can balance our production and money(at 100L at wc to knight it can get expensive.

Aggie: If were strictly up to me, I would grant you the Knights in Termina and BananaHQ, but continue Building in Del Monte and Timeline and build Chariots in a few smaller cities. However, it appears we are only going to play ONE turn tomorrow, so this is all pretty mute at the moment as nothing will finish in that time. I will be sure to let GK know of your request for Knights when he returns.

Hmmmn build queues would be good. So we could look at what were building long term. Perhaps I might take this up with GK when he gets back.

Anyway we've been building alot of libraries but they don't really give any benefit ATM. Long term yes but in the future we'll be able to build them alot faster. I always build markets B4 librarues.

Queues would be a benefit, but only after the war(s). It is too difficult to predict what reinforcements will be needed for the war effort otherwise.

My stance on Libraries: I would like to see them in certain cities ASAP, but most of those really would benefit more from a Courthouse at the moment. Building them in our core cities is a bit wastefull at this time IMO as those cities don't bring in a whole lot of cash. However, the GA (if and when the Sistine brings it) would change that dramatically, though.

Thanks unortho, I had to push. Lets face it that's the big battlecry of all generals. We want more troops. Sadly the battlecry of the budget people and cp's everywhere is"you can't have more toys right now". Actually that is half the fun and challenge of this game, trying to do as much as you can with what you have. I think we are all better players because of it.

UnOrthO,
AFAIK, we're playing five turns tomorrow.

The chat will be at 7 PM GMT (1900 GMT) see the top thread if you don't know what time that is where you live.

Minister if you can post 5 turns of orders then 5 turns can be done. Sorry to spring this on you so late. If you havn't the time then thats ok or if youjust want to relay orders in the chat thats ok too.

UnOR sorry about the lack of notice. Don't feel that you have to cancel anything important or go out of your way to post the orders if you can't post them in time it's my fault not yours.

Sorry to have to deliver the potentially bad news.

EDIT: Wait a sec -- you posted three (?) turns worth of orders -- maybe you already knew?

EDIT again: To clarify, I'm not trying to say that UnOrthO should add two more days worth of orders. Things'll work themselves out. I just wanted to make sure he knows . UnOrthO, please DON'T go writing more orders if you're really that sick; it's not necessary, and you'll make me feel guilty .

Yeah, I got that. I only needed 3 turns worth of orders, though as nothing will finish production in the last 2 turns.
