The acquisition of the technology of Steam Power marked the introduction of the greatest and final land improvement in the game - railroads.
Soon, our entire empire will be railroaded. After a few other improvements are made there will be no further need for workers in our current territory. Soon we will conquer German lands, and maybe get some more lands in other ways (culture flips, perhaps) and we'll want to bring these new territories up to our standards in terms of land improvements.
However, once we're done with this task, our workers will be idle for quite some time, unless we're planning another invasion very soon after the German war.
Now, I have no problem with slaves idling around because they don't cost us money, but domestic workers do cost maintenance, and it'll be a pain watching them idling and waiting for new territories that need improving to be conquered while they could do much more good inside cities.
So basically, the idea is this: soon there will be no work for our workers except for in newly-conquered territories because there will be nothing left to improve in our own territories. Allowing our workers to sit idly would be plain wasteful, and therefore I suggest that we gradually allow our domestic workers to join cities with hospitals and work as part of the urban population until we can completely depend on slaves as our public works force.
I suggest that we begin this project after the German territories that we'll conquer are improved to the maximum. I also suggest that we stop building domestic workers, because we'll join them back to their cities soon enough if the senate approves this project (don't worry, we'll get plenty of slaves from Germany
).
What are your opinions?
