Classical Apolyton City Planning
Basis 1395 save

Opening statement:
Now that the majority of worker reception festivals are history, Classical Apolytonia is proud to declare that nationality of the populace is much more diverse. We look forward to producing beakers, lytons, and shields for the good of the nation. A few choice coastal tiles remain available. Workers needing tiles are advised to apply at the DM's office.

Of interest to Other regions:
Other Governors are advised to plan for a future Air Force. Specifically where to put Airports for future military reasons. Rheims identified in this Region. Other candidates for airports include:
Chiquita - threatens Argos, Delphi, Mycenae, Washington.
Del Monte - threatens Mycenae, Boston
San Cortez - threatens Chicago, Washington, Argos.
Hannover - threatens Boston, Konigsberg.
Heidelburg - threatens Malinaco.
Bremen - threatens Tula.
Nuremberg - threatens Brighton, Newcastle.
Heroe's Summit - threatens Norwich.
Antioch - threatens Coventry.
Arbela - threatens Hastings, Oxford.
Port of Where It's At - threatens Knossos.
Roadivostok - threatens Ravenna, Tblisi.
Syracuse - threatens Tonawanda.
Dijon - threatens Sevastopol.
Some city on Uber - need an Air Base on the island.
Needles to say, not all of the candidates will be required.

City Detail:

Port Rouge - maintain wf as 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,10,14,18,19,20. Completing Factory in 3. Next is University in 5 (after Factory effect) which is beyond the turnchat horizon. Drop Bank and Colosseum from queue.

Termina - maintain WF as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,18,19,20 Completing University in 5 turns which is at the turnchat horizon.

Apolyton - maintain WF as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,13,15,16. Making Hospital in 2. Next is Colosseum in 6 which is beyond the turnchat horizon. City grows naturally in 3. Utilize tile 11. Evaluate City after growth to determine if Coloseum is necessary. If not,change the build. Apoly is 22 net shields. Nothing looks good now. Consider Swordsman. 1 turn in rush for 32 Lytons and change to Infantry in 3 more turns. Once Mech Inf is available, Apoly can be set to Mech Inf in 5 spot on!

Tassagrad - maintain WF as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,14,15,16,18,20 Making Battleship in 2. Keep city on perpetual Battleship in 4. City is 52 shields net which is effecient at 200 cost battleships in 4.There are 3 available coastal tiles for future Worker reception. An additional coastal tile (#10) will be covered by natural growth of BHQ.

Banana HQ - maintain wf as 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,13,17,18,19,20. Making University in 7 which is beyond the turnchat horizon. Grows naturally in 1. Utilize tile 14.Drop Colosseum and Wealth from queue. City is 32 shields net which is not very good. After 1 turn into a build switch to Longbow and rush for 32 Lytons, then switch to tank in 2 more turns.

Opiadom - Making Factory in 1. Next in queue is University in 4 (after Factory effect) which is at the turnchat horizon. There are ZERO open tiles so wf changes are not possible. Add Tank to the build queue following Univ. City will be 54 shields net after factory effect which is a good match for perpetual tanks in 2.

Gotham - Making Tank in 2 and every 2 turns thereafter. There are ZERO open tiles so no wf changes are possible. City is 50 shields net which is spot on for Tank in 2.

Chartres - WF is all except 17. Making University in 1. Colosseum in 2 is next. City is 62 shields net. Add Naval unit of SMC choosing to queue. Consider Destroyer in 2 or Carrier in 3 either of which is shield efficient for this city. Eventually this city will be doing MA's in 2 very effeciently.

Rheims - maintain wf as 2,4,5,6,8,9,10,13,14,15,16,20. Making Factory in 1 and then University in 4 (after Factory effect) which is at the turnchat horizon. City will be 54 shields net after factory effect which is good fit for Tank in 2 or Bomber in 2. Add Airport in 3 to queue. Rheims is good location for Airport rebasing site if and when there is a Greek Salient campaign. After airport, do perpetual Tank or Bomber depending on outlook.

Timeline - Making Battlefield Medicine in 4. Add Palace as shield depository for Pentagon to queue. Pentagon will appear after Ferropolis completes 2nd Army shell which is beyond the turnchat horizon. City is 80 shields net which is very difficult to use effeciently now that Cavalry has dropped from the build list. We could do a few Arty or Fighters but not many.

The FAM orders:

Originally posted by Shiber
Money - GOOD!

Turn 0 (1395 AD, beginning of turnchat)
- Sell Spices to Greece for 18 gpt (total: 360 gold, they can't afford to pay any more).
- Sell Steel to Babylon for 22 gpt and 36 gold (total: 476 gold, they can't afford to pay any more).
- Sell Motorized Transportation to India for 200 gpt and 91 gold (total: 4,091, they can't afford to pay any more).

Turn 3
- Our Rubber for 26 gpt deal with England ends. Attempt to renew Rubber for gpt deal with England. Attempt to maximize profit, but don't settle for less than 500 gold total (if they can't afford it, then they can't afford to have Rubber. Mwhahahaha!!).

Turn 4
- Attempt to renew Dyes for Ivory deal with Greece. If they are willing to continue this deal, or even throw some gold in as well, take it of course. Otherwise, if they demand more, see if we can work out some deal where we give them a tech in exchange for money and ivory. However, if they won't be able to afford paying 500 gold (in gold, gpt or mixed) or more for our tech, pay them in gpt (Dyes + x gpt for their Ivory). I will most likely be able to participate in this turnchat, but I leave these orders just in case.

General Orders
- Check for tech deals every turn. Sell any tech (preferably the oldest and cheapest one, if we have a choice) to any civ if they are willing to pay 700 gold (in cash, gpt or mixed) or more.
- If something unexpected turns up and I am unable to participate in this turnchat, any or all of the above orders may be changed, should they become harmful or inappropriate. I recommend that the present cabinet be polled on any changes to my orders before they are made.

Any questions?

[Togas]

I'm somewhat concerned. The 18th is when the new President & cabinet begin their jobs. You may want to move the last chat forward to today or else I'm going to have to go wake up the Court and get ready for another interesting casethread.

--Togas

[Aro]

A dumb question: what if I start the chat today, hmmm, about 22:00 GMT? After 2 hours, should I end the chat?

and most people are expecting one for tuesday , not for today , .....

just two banana dollars , ....

oh yeah , its not intended to break the post rules but its important , ....

have a nice day

[Panzer32]

Uber Isle placeholder

I might not get to the orders (especially if it is held today)
If that is the case,
just use the previous set of orders, and consult the DM if the turn date exceeds that which I have orders for.

[Aro]

I agree with panag. If I'm not allowed to run a chat tomorrow, itmakes no sense be in a hurry and try to run it today, with incomplete orders, just to make me happy.

If this is the case, I'll decline of my intent. No harm, because the DM, the governors and the FAM are in the new government. No waste of orders, at all...

But... In our next demo game, I'll fight for a more flexible CoL. Sometimes seems that we confuse Democracy and Bureaucracy.

My last turnchat is cancelled.

I don't see how we can make it today, and Thud will be the Prez tomorrow. I may not like the law, but it's the law...
So...

Good luck, Thud, Aidun, Arnelos and Shiber! You guys will run our beloved Country to the stars or to the UN, whatever... And I know how good you are doing this job!
Good luck, Mr. President Thud.

.. And my farewell speech ( ):

I'm honored that you guys have trusted me, and I'm very proud to be part of our comunity. Thank you all, folks, for your help and support! You are a great bunch of brothers!

have a nice day

[Aggie]

Please reconsider

Aro, please reconsider the decision to cancel the chat. It is long standing practice that the pres gets a "victory lap". You deserve it and nobody will mind about the technicality of the chat being on the 1st day of the new admin. For example my last chat started ended after my term was over. Regardless let me congratulate you on an excellent term.
Aggie
