  • [OOC] Timing Bronze Working...

    In 3250 B.C., we should have 17 beakers left until Bronze Working.

    If we place Madrid's one worker on the wheat (as I believe we should and would like to order as Governor of Madrid), we would then have 5 trade. If we used 4 of these for beakers, that would put us within 1 beaker of Bronze Working in 4 turns (so then we'd tweak the slider down to around 10-20% for that last turn).

    Under this plan, we should get Bronze Working in 5 turns, but we'll lose a little money in the process (since we have so many warriors and we'll have the settler). No worry, however, because we'll get a little boost to income when we tweak the slider on the 5th turn AND we have a monetary reserve more than able to accomodate the likely short-term rise in maintenance fees.

    The 5 turns to Bronze Working would also be well-timed with the 5 turns it will take for Madrid to grow back to Pop 2 (when its production can be switched to spearmen, having only completed 5/10 shields toward a warrior as a placeholder).

    Thoughts?

    Right now I can't see we have much use for tons of money sitting in our treasury. I would go for the science.

      Arnelos,

      I wish I'd seen this thread earlier. I think I just missed you by a few minutes. I moved workforce back to cattle and set slider to 7 sci/3 tax.

      Please let me know if we should make this change next turn. I don't mind going negative for a few turns. Currently we make 0 gold due to upkeep.

        Switch it to wheat this turn if you can, next turn if you can't this turn.

        I have two plans already drafted to cover each of those. Losing only 1 turn won't cost us much (1 gold immediately, perhaps a gold or two down the road due to the delay on Madrid expanding to pop 2 and then pop 3 on time), so it's not a big loss.

        When I know which has taken place, I'll post a finalized plan in your government thread.

        Thanks.

          Oh, and under the back-up plan...

          Please, if you would, switch the production to a Temple. This is merely a shieldbank intended to be switched to a Spearman. If we don't switch off of a warrior, the warrior will complete construction before we can switch it to a Spearman. Thanks
