1990 BC: Orders, Discussion, Results

[ruby_maser]

The turn-around time for creating the next turn thread needs to happen a bit quicker. The last one went up only hours before the turn was done. As a result, orders for micromanaging the WFs for Pamplona were missed and the city will grow one turn later than it could have.

....so post 'em if you got 'em

[OliverFA]

I think that if some official has order that he wants to be done he should start the thread if no one has done it before

By the way, I'm sure that Davout will be happy with Pamplona growing a turn later to keep on his "low profile" strategy

Absolutely.

While anyone can start the turn threads, the city governors, slave master, and unit commanders have a responsibility to do so if once they have determined their orders for that turn.

We started the turn orders thread practice long ago because it was too much nuisance go to multiple threads for orders. At the time it was just an Explorer's thread and the Slaver Master's thread, but now it would be multiple city plan threads as well.

Orders for Saragossa

-Use Settler to Build Saragossa.
-Fortify the Spearman
-Work the Game
-Start Barracks

I will provide a detailed plan in the days ahead.

Señor Tamali, I look forward to your magic planning tool (spreadsheet).

Slave Master, I would very much appreciate an estimated completion date on connecting Saragossa to Madrid (via Pamplona).

[OliverFA]

Señor Dejon, unfortunately with just one slave group to do the work and the other two busy in the zone between Madrid and Barcelona, Zaragoza will be conected to Madrid no sooner than 1215BC. Just the tunnel under the mountains cost 225 years (9 turns) to build! However, if Pamplona or Zaragoza pop a fourth slave unit, the time would be reduced considerably.

I demand protection !!

2 or 3 Workers will be soon working in the area between Madrid and Barcelona. And we know that barbarians units can arise in any moment at the South West of Barcelona or even at the North of Madrid.

With only a warrior defending Barcelona, and the spearmans from Madrid affected to other great missions, it could be very difficult to defend our workers without additional military units.

I demand the Magyar warrior to stay in this area until all barbarian threats were definitely out !

Chief Architect
Governor of Barcelona

Whose side are you on?

Just for that, I want to have the WFs in Pamplona switched from the #6 forest tile to the #2 shielded grassland. It makes no difference now, but an 80% net yield after corruption looks better than 66%.

[OliverFA]

I must support Astronicus demands. It takes lot of time to train the slaves, and its equipment is very expensive. It would a big lost if one of these expensive units of slaves was atracked and destroyed by this damn barbarians.

[GodKing]

They are only slaves..... we can get more as needed. No need to protect them.......

Very well, the Magyar group shall remain in the hills around Barcelona & Madrid to protect our workers in this region.

If the Temple is completed this turn and pop rises to 3 as I suspect, then here is the new WF and queue for Madrid:

New WF: #3 (cows), #5 (game), #20 (wheat) - 5 shields, 4 food, 7 trade

New Queue: Worker, Spearman

The worker should only take 2 turns, then I'll have a new WF (because pop will drop back to 2 when the worker is done).

[Togas]

The save has arrived. I will wait a few more hours to allow anyone with additional orders to post them.

Lord Togas,

Since we will have Writing now and so we know, could you please check how much embassies with our neighbors will cost?

And, also, could you take a look at the F7 screen to see if anyone is building a Wonder yet? Thank you.

This is not the first time this has been asked. I have never really used that screen, but my impression was that it shows you completed wonders, not those under construction - can someone correct me or confirm this?

Dejon,
In standard Civ III, I'm nearly positive that it shows wonders in progress -- I never played it that much, but I do remember seeing several Wonders labeled 'in progress' for various nations. I don't know if there's something special, like a need for an embassy or something, but I THINK it's probably that any wonder in progress shows up there.
