We could send the new worker's created in Madrid to Barcelona to do some forest chopping; this would add 10 shields to a 30 shield project cutting off two turns to gte the second Galley built. There's also a worker next to barcelona who could be tapped for this job as well.

I agree, for the tile #6 of Barcelona, Señor BigFree

I'm sure the Slave Master will include this work in his future plans

I would be fine with building anything but a Settler, as long as I'm told its fine to do so.

Word from the top was to keep going with another Settler else the city would be building a Temple right now.

I get my worker goals from His Magesty's Future Spain screenshot. Based on that, I assure you that there will be no forest clearing in the immediate future.

I look at that screenshot faithfully every turn to see if there are any new priorities for the surfs.

And also keep in mind that it takes 10 surf turns to chop one forest tile. Starting now would be too late to help with the second boat.

Extra workers are desperately needed to join up with the King's surf and expedite the spice highway.

A temple sounds good to me

By the way, here is the save in case anyone wants to check it until we play

I am going back to court this afternoon and won't be back in my office until probably 6-7pm EST. My brother has a birthday today so after work I'm not going to have much time to play the save.

The save should be played without me.

Please follow ALL POSTED ORDERS from the Governors and Ministers with the following notes:

DO follow RC's Western Region WF plan.

Make sure the new Mine in Toledo is being used.

Do not change the production of a settler in Pamplona. That settler is needed for Madrid to be able to jump back to size 3 and be immediately productive.

The new Zaragoza Settler is to be sent with an escort from Zaragoza. The group shall move SE, S, SE

Zaragoza shall build a new Spear to replace the one that left. Make sure Zaragoza's WF is optimized for production.

Follow E_T's orders for madrid.

I'm playing the save around 21:00-21:15 GMT time (that's 23:00-23:15 my time). You are invited to join us at the irc channel. Remember that we are on DalNet temporarily until Apolyton irc server comes back!

[Togas]

was the Southern WF changes that Roadcage implimented???

Also, we need to, whenever possible, change WF production to increase trade on turns where excess sheilds or food will be wasted.

Governors, keep a sharp eye on your cities and look for ways that we can squeeze out extra trade. We certainly need it.

unfortunately no.

And it was a one turn only swap.

Aargh - that was not the order! It was NE, E!

[BigFree]

He might have moved it the correct way; the "N" could be just a typo. It wouldn't make sense to go east and then back west, so I think he may have made the right move. You can check the screens of last turn compared to this turn.

I already did look at the shots. The unit was supposed to move E so it could load onto the galley in 570BC. Now it has to come back down S and then E to get into position to move onto the galley a turn later. I suppose it doesn't matter in the end, as the galley can't head back NW until 530 BC anyways. But please read more carefully.
