I am concerned that our Kingdom is without a long term plan. I trust that the Dukes will be fine stewards of their cities, however, the needs of the nation may not be met unless we gather periodically and discuss what must be done.
Let's use this thread to discuss what our cities should be building in the years to come, and to develop our priorities and build queues. I have written down what I forese for our future but I wish to hear from my Lords about what their plans are and how our plans should be adjusted to serve the betterment of Spain.
Madrid -- Our most productive city and one of our two barracks cities. This city will produce spearmen for our expansion sites, occasional horsemen and swordsmen, workers on the turn before it grows, and when a marketplace can be fit it, one should be built. Our first Library and Cathedral should be built in Madrid once our military needs are met.
Zaragoza -- Our 2nd barracks city, and a very productive city, shall be a primary military production site, but it should build a marketplace when our military needs are met and settler when it grows too large to be policed ... which needs to be planned well in advance.
Pamplona -- An IDEAL Settler creating factory, it will likely remain on Settler duty for quite some time. This needs to be discussed -- when can we take Pamplona off Settler duty? When Settler duty is complete it will need to quickly build a temple (or Cathedral), marketplace, and library ... possibly with additional settlers and workers due to it's incredible growth rate.
Santiago -- An ideal commercial site, once the worker is complete, it needs to modify WF and build a marketplace or courthouse (as corruption will increase as we build more cities), then library. Santiago might contribute a few more workers, but it will not otherwise contribute to the military or settlement of our nation.
Vigo -- With work, this may become a commercial and production site, however a courthouse will be needed. What other plans do we have for this city?
Leon -- A City with great growth potential that will initially give us needed workers and will also give us groups of Settlers. This city may lesson the burden on Pamplona and allow it to build less settlers, or it may add to the strength of Pamplona to allow us to very rapidly settle the rest of our great nation.
Barcelona -- Our only Port City for now. It must give us a fleet, and will need a marketplace and temple, and perhaps workers and settlers if the new harbor causes it to grow too quickly.
Toledo -- This new city must build a temple when the worker is done to further expand our borders. After that, with proper development, it can serve as either a worker/settler factory and/or a minor production facility. Eventually a Marketplace will be required.
Valencia -- Our next city is too new to plan for now, but it will take advantage of it's coastal position as well as it's spice resources to become a commerce city.
Sevilla -- The next city we will found after Valencia, this city will partially control the ivory trade, be coastal, and located on a river. It will also become a commercial city and will surely need to courthouse, temple, marketplace, and harbor improvements.
I now invite all of the Lords and Dukes of Spain to comment and add to this discussion.
