OFFICIAL Suggestions of the Palace Committee Poll

[joncnunn]

Glad to see that two pairs are jumping out in this poll. (Even though my pair isn't one of those two.)

Yesterday at this time, responses were bascially flat.

A 20% difference is very important for building Factories, Small Wonders, Great Wonders, Forbidden Palace, relocating the Main Palace, and ICBMs. (Athough some Factories may be rushed.)

For military units, say a Tank, it doesn't matter unless it brings it below a key threshold and needs an extra turn.

Originally posted by Sir Ralph But indeed, the production of both is not so far apart than it may seem. Here are 2 screenshots of cities, optimized for production. Both have the same improvements, Factory and Hoover. Both are fully improved and are the same distance to palace/FP. The grassland city gives net 100 shields, and the mixed hill/grassland/plains city gives net 120 shields. So the difference is indeed not that big.

Hmmm.. sounded like you were making a consession to me...

It definitely looks like it will be a runoff between Timeline/Contaginon and Macross City/Geofront.

This has been one of the best debates I have seen around here. Very refreshing break from the Builder/Warmonger threads that have dominated our early history.

HeHeHe I know, this is the first time I've disagreed with Sir Ralph on something. I could practically see the steam rising from his ears.

HeHeHe.

yes, it's interesting to see various perspectives (wrong as they may be ), and although it seem combative it's just do to the interest level.

Thinking about the central cities. Remember, the palace will not move until its new location has (per my CP orders - at least for the next two weeks):

Courthouse
Temple
Cathedral
Aquaduct (if needed)

I would prefere it also to have a library, market, bank and factory, but these are not essential. Temple and cathedral to keep the people happy durrin the long construction (I hope to get some slaves to join the city to up production as much as possible - up to size 10 I hope)

The FP will be the same, but I will use money to rush the three necessaries and slaves to move in ASAP (if our esteamed Public Works Director will permit).

This will keep our current core productive for a while longer, building the courthouses and what not it will need.

GK

PS - when does this poll end? and when do we start the next one? I want to get moving on some of these improvements ASAP.

Macross City and Geofront

after we take this puny continent these will be better suited locations!

It was set to be a 5 day poll.

As Minister of Economy I support Macross City - Geofront!

Timeline and Contaginon!

[Arnelos]

Timeline and Contaginon... I honestly think they're *much* better placed for keeping our entire empire within the reach of the FP and Palace...

And Ubercrux and others... if we really take over all of France, Greece, and Russia... there's no reason we can't then MOVE THE PALACE AGAIN from Timeline to Macross City... but with the empire we expect to have at least for the next age worth of the game, it makes MUCH more sense to have the capital in Timeline.

I don1t know exactly what the CoL says about , but IMO we already have the two options for a new poll:
Timeline and Contaginon vs. Macross City and Geofront.
And, to make the things more interesting, the first couple is supported by the Minister of Imperial Expansion and the second by the Minister of Economy...

I love this game!

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Timeline is Contagious!

Oops! I meant Timeline and Contaginon!

I felt a 5 day poll would be better as this is a very important decision. It's not like they can build one or the other in one turn session anyway.

[This poll closes tomorrow and then we will have a runoff between the obvious contenders.
