THis is an Official Poll by the MoCP for changing the Current build in Hole In Wall.
THe issues:
1) we now have Navigation and it's a race between ourselves & Rome on finding the Lost Civs first. We have A Galley that is currently East of Susa that will be moving towards the expected location of the Lost Civs. We should find them in about 4-7 turns from now.
2) Rome has been heavily exploring the Western Seas and is poised to move West and find the Lost Civs. THey should contact them within the same time frame.
3) We are Rapidly preparing for War and the Budget is tight. We have several things in the works: Building the FP; Operation Flip 'em Off; Keeping Arbela from Flipping to the English and the loss of our Spices (and the ensuing trade benifits); Building a western Fleet to find the Lost Civs. One of these MUST be put aside!
I propose changing the Current build & Queue to reflect the reality of our situation. Because this was a plan that I had Inherited with the Office, I beleave that it's time to change it.
Monies: From my Budget Request to the MoE
As we can see, we have a LOT of money to be spent, but not much to that can be spent. SMC Aggie had requested a large sum for Upgrades, Possible War Throughput Rushes & Emergency Fund (incase we have problems with an Alliance). FAM Togas will hopefully make us same more when we Contact the Lost Civ's, but he might also have to spend some in further technology negotiations (using Lost Civ Contact as a Barganing point). My Current Prorities are to Crush our Rampiant Corruption/Waste through courthouse & Cathedral builds and getting the FP online. With All of this in mind, I must concentrate on Flip 'em off, FP and Arbela and leave all others until later. For this next turnchat, I'll most likely be given the funds for San Cortez & Contagion Rushes with possibly a little extra to rush the courthouse in Geofront (as that;s currently the cheapest).
With HIW's current build/Queue of Harbor-Galley/Caravel-Courthouse-Worker-Cathedral; it will be a long time until the near Catastrophic Corrution/Waste in HIW will be properly addressed. If I change it to: Courthouse-Cathedral-Harbor-Caravel, the City will be more self supporting and able to build Fleet Units in a more Cost effective manner. If a Courthouse is built, it's Corruption/Waste would be reduced from 88% to 53%. And after building a Cathedral, the Production Waste would be further reduced to 39%.
With all of this in mind, I request that the Western Fleet Plan be tabled for a while and that I be allowed to make the Build/Queue changes that the city requires. We will still have the ability for building a Western Fleet, but it would be at a lesser cost to the nation as a whole.
THis Poll will close in Five days, as I don't expect the funds to rush the Harbor anyways for this turnchat.
