Leopold to move SE-S-W
Change Jackson's build to Barracks
Make sure the new Farmerville pop is working the roaded grass SE of the city, NOT the mined desert. (The AI may auto-assign the worker there, which is good for that one production cycle, but Fville should continue its supergrowth.
Make sure new Legopolis pop unit is working the hill Robbie's mining, not one of the other unimproved hills.
Make sure new Logville pop unit is working the river grass SW of the city, not a 1-food tile; let's keep it at 3 food a turn

Radek, now that the ministers are starting to use this thread, maybe we should top it. Or do you have a better idea how to organize the orders now that the "Guidlines..." thread is no longer in use?

To be honest, I would prefer ministers posting their orders in the "Next turn plans" thread - it is way easier for me to put everything together from one thread than to look somewhere else all the time. Plus, the discussion is easier to follow if in one thread.

[Tiberius]

I agree, but when ministers put their orders in the "next turn plans" thread they are being treated like suggestions, or ideas for discussion, not orders, from what I can see. There should exist then a "discussions for the next turn plans" thread and the "next turn plans" would contain then only the final orders.

Well, quite honestly, I don't differ between suggestions and orders depending upon where they are placed... if someone clearly says something is an order, I am much more likely to play that way (like Sharpe's last turn Troy order - I didn't agree, but considered it mostly a matter of personal preferences and not of strategic importance, thus played it the way he wished), but if I am strongly convinced the Minister oversought something, I will still play what's best IMO... quite often, playing the turn, I notice something Ministers simply couldn't see easily in advance.

Do not think I am going to play something just because someone says it's an order... the Constitution clearly states I am allowed to play differently, if I consider it a matter of topmost importance (or something to that effect). I am not abusing this, as anyone can attest, I hope... thus, it does not really matter where the orders or suggestions are placed.
