The Year of the Dog-Cat

[snoopy369]

Well, it looks like my reign is at hand ... I'm unfortunately going to have to go to work right now so it will be most of a day until I can post any polls or even look at the save since this was a bit of a surprise to me, but for now why don't we just start a discussion of what should be done?

1. Research priorities: Now that we have the more important techs, should we focus more on gold, or are their techs we still want to focus on? (Like Fire Catapults?)

2. Military priorities: Where do we take the Armies of Rome next, if any different than where they are now?

3. Domestic priorities: I want to settle a good number of new cities, or at least start the process - where and how many (general "where" as in what region to focus on, no screen shots please)

That should cover it for now, add on whatever you want but please answer these three at least. It will give me a basis for polls.

Fire Catapults, so we can handle the carthagian fleet.

2. Military priorities: Where do we take the Armies of Rome next, if any different than where they are now?

Continuing expanding in spain,
Let Caesar Augustus take the Corsika and Sardina.

3. Domestic priorities: I want to settle a good number of new cities, or at least start the process - where and how many

Populate, East and west on free land.

Fill up brittany, we need to grab as much land we can.

During your term.

Techs : Not much left tech wise, I think that building bridges is most important followed by fire catapults.

Miltary : The forces coming back from sacking Carthage is more than enough to capture the islands on their way back. We should probably send more military units into Spain.

City founding : I see two key areas at this point. The first is to connect our Spice city in Spain back to the rest of our empire by founding cities along the coast there. The second is the river valleys in the Balkins.

During the remainder of anarchy, try to keep our cities out of disorder, and also convert some extra citizens into taxmen during it.

After the anarchy ends, remember to rebalance all cities work forces and strongly consider rushing both military units and improvements.

If we get a Miliary Great Leader, at this point, I'd see two strong candidates for our FP:

1. Spainish Spice city or any city founded near there.
2. One of the Balkins cities.

*ahem* ... please limit comments to the three areas I mentioned. I'm a good Civ player, and am not interested in being told how to run day-to-day affairs, and most other issues have been addressed before. Thanks!

1. We don't need techs anymore. I don't know what is the usage of the unknown future but we can use the gold for many things.

2. Military should be focused to the west - in Spain, and in the border cities near macedonia and the Celts

3. Settle near our current borders, we don't need to spread too much because this will scatter our forces

More on techs:

I didn't realize that the rest of the world has virtually the rest of the techs.

So, set science to 0% and buy the remainder instead as cash flow allows.

A trip to the concubinage clears the head and steadies the hand.

Exactly my point.

I apologize for the delay, I work in retail, and my girlfriend had two (2) holiday parties the last 2 days, so not a lot of time for Civ ...

[conmcb25]

Did you get laid?

Thats all we care about knowing actually, with graphic details of course

[Paddy]
