[Togas]

Please post orders now, as the save has started moving quickly again.

[ruby_maser]

Pamplona:

Increases to size 6 population, continue building Worker, please set the new WF accordingly (it may do so on its own, but please check):

    #2, shielded grassland
    [b]#3, Gold Moutain -- new[/b]
    #7, cattle bonus
    #8, cattle bonus
    #19, shielded grassland
    1 WF = 1 scientist

Thanks

[edit]The computer should automatically assign the #6 forest to Pamplona. Señor Dejon has requested to have Salamanca use it since it will not help Pamplona's queue.[/edit]

As the forest shields won't produce that worker any faster, could Salamanca work that tile instead?

I can forsee us having to coordinate WF quite a bit in the future. If only those shielded grasslands around Pamplona were mined...

This is true; I could have the city work Gold Mountain for 1 turn (I don't want the growth as I might be able to time a Granary for just before size 7 if I can get popular support). It is going to drop back down to size 5 anyway on the next turn and doing so won't affect its auspicious return to size 6 later.

If this happened, I could possibly need to use it again when the city does go back up to size 6 in 290 BC (5 turns from now).

Would making the change help out in those five turns and should I do so?

The new worker being built in Pamplona may help matters there

Yes, Salamance is building a worker too, and the forest will allow it to complete in one turn. Then Pamplona can have that tile. We'll look at things again afterward, as the flood plains ensure that Salamanca grows like a weed.

Can't get used to Gold Mountain just yet unfortunately The city will drop back to size 5 next turn.

As for Inchon, way to go with taking out that northern stack, Vox

By the way, the year is 370BC not 390BC

Workers built in both Salamanca and Pamplona
Cultural Borders of Pamplona expands.

The People want to make an addition to the Palace, I suggest a bight new lawn....

ARGH!

I just noticed that I failed to make the BC370 turnthread

I'm going to check the save and if there's any lingering issues we'll delay playing the save until late this afternoon.
