Thanks Zargon, but seeing that I had no save to play with, I went to bed earlier yesterday
I'd like to ask however Radek or ZargonX, that whoever is playing the turn, could maybe post the save at least, even if not the whole Chronicle update? I'd be perfectly happy if you just automatically forward the save to me, but I figured others may be interested in getting it too, hence my request.

I usually post the save as soon as technically possible. Yesterday, it was an exception - the day developed in a bit unexpected way for me and I had no time to do it until late in the evening.

Playing the turn...

Log of turn 670 BC:

-Named new Panama merc "Mercus Aurelius"

-Leopold SE-S-W
-Charlie SE-S-W
-New Legopolis merc named "Merc Twain"
-Twain S
-Jack mines
-Mercedes W-NW and fortifies.
-Dycedarg fortifies
-George NE and mines.
-Frank W
-GG SW-S-E
-Troy NW-NW-NW-N
-Alexander NW-NW
-Silver S, prepping to head for the Lonely mountain.
-Merciless SE-E-NE
-Panama set to temple
-Karina laborer is already set
-Zargonia laborer is already set
-Dye Fields laborer is set

[Kloreep]

MB's orders for 650:
Jack to road
Robbie to also road
Charlie to clear jungle
Leopold to also clear jungle
Frank to road
Rover to road
Move Farmerville worker from desert mine to roaded rivered grass SE of the city
Edit: Also, move a Jackson hill laborer to the coast for an extra commerce. This shouldn't affect the barracks build time; if it does, leave this for next turn.

[ZargonX]

MA orders for 650:

-Silver NE; talking it over with Sharpe, it would be safer to move further into the hills to rest, just in case anyone else is lurking out there ready to strike...
-Alexander hold tight for one more turn, to see if any barbs will pop out of hte fog
-Merciless N-NW-fortify
-Mercus SE-S-SE
-Troy N-NE
-GG S-S-SE
-New Dye Fields warrior NW

[vondrack]

Plans for 650BC:

1) Mercus Aurelius to move SE-S-E

2) Leopold & Charlie to start clearing jungle

3) Merc Twain to move S-S-S
then S-SE-SE and to the Tarzania site

4) Robbie to road

5) Jack to road move NW, then mine & road
Kloreep, are you sure? We will be wasting one worker-turn this way... would it not be better to move Jack NW and then mine & road?

6) Mercedes to move NE-N and fortify in Jackson

7) the regular Merc from Jackson to move S-SW-SW
then to our Southern provinces (Sharpehaven?), to allow our warriors to return to Panama or Jackson for upgrades

8) Frank to road

9) G.G. to move S-S-SE SW-S-E
Zargon, why do we not keep exploring as far into the ocean as possible - i.e. SW-S-E?

10) Troy to move N-NE
11) Silver to move NE
Zargon's orders...

12) Alexander to skip turn

13) Rover to road

14) leave Jackson labourers as they are for one more turn
14) reassign the Jackson labourer from a mined hill to coast
does not delay barracks, gains us one more commerce
sorry, Kloreep - I did not realize we'd already be half-way through the build

15) reassign Farmerville labourer from the mined desert SW to the roaded riverbank grassland SE of the city

Addition by Kloreep: 16) Change Jackson's build to a galley

[ZargonX]

9) G.G. to move S-S-SE
Zargon, why do we not keep exploring as far into the ocean as possible - i.e. SW-S-E?

You are correct. Let's do that instead

We'd get one more commerce if they both mine.

Still, at 100% science in such a large empire, it shouldn't matter too much. Let's go with Jack NW and mine.

14) leave Jackson labourers as they are for one more turn

You're sure it'll delay the barracks? Jackson should be at 22 shields next turn; 9 shields over the next two turns will total 40 shields. Unless corruption rises somehow, I think it will be fine.

[Kloreep]

Whoops, I forgot to add that Jackson should change its build to a Galley per the new plans for the city. I'll edit vondrack's post, in case he isn't back by the time we play the turn.

10. Rover started to road (why there? it's not a bonus grass)

Rover moved there to chop a forest, and now it's grass; the road is to save a worker turn in the future, when a worker improves that tile further.

MB's orders for 630:
Jack to mine
New Logville worker W (then chop)
New Farmerville settler NE, heading to Tarzania
Galley complete in Jackson; change build to barracks again.
Farmerville settler complete; change build to Temple
Dye Fields builds a warrior; change build to Temple
Logville worker complete; change build to Temple

[ZargonX]

Well shoot, my orders are gone. I guess I'd better try and remember what they were...

[ZargonX]

MA Orders 630:

-Mercus S-S-S
-Merc Twin S-SE-S
-Troy S-E, to check to southern jungle
-Silver fortify
-Alexander S-S, no more hiding our bold horses!
-New Dye Fields warrior (Dyeguard?) NW, to Jackson to upgrade
-New Jackson galley E-N-NW
-GG S-S-E

[vondrack]

Plans for 610BC:

1) G.G. to move S-SE-E, then S-S-S, SW-S-SE

2) Frank to move N-W, then mine & road

3) Mercurio to move W
then W, SW, W, W, NW, N, replacing Merky Merc

4) DyeHard to move NW, then N-N-NE to Jackson for upgrade

5) George to move S-SE-SE, then E, then road
building a road to the Tarzania site

6) Settler to move E

7) Troy to move E

8) Jimbo to road

9) Rover to move SE-SE, then road

10) Conan to fortify

11) Alexander to move S

12) Merc Twain to move W-W-W, then fortify

13) Gaul to move NW-N-NW

14) Forkman to move N, to Panama for upgrade

15) Zargonia to poprush the Temple build

16) make sure the new Logville labourer works the unimproved riverbank grassland.

17) send 120 gold to Vox Controli
"offer" and "accept"... still subject to the poll result, but as the current interim result is 5 "yes", 2 "yes, but" (actually, 6:1, as the secrecy clause Kloreep asked for has already been incorporated), I consider it unlikely the result might change. Unless there is a dramatic change, I say let's go ahead and send the money - we are late by 1 turn compared to the proposal anyway...

[Tiberius]

17) OK, but I'd like to see the trade proposal sent to Vox before we send the money. They should at least know why are they receiving money from us Since the initial 120 is the payment for the WM we can send it anyway, but for the second part of the deal (tech+loan) I'd like to see a signed deal.
Since I will be away for the next 5 days, could someone take care of this, please?

Will do later today (before going to bed).
