Anything I should know?

[Godel]

Hi nye... thanks for asking.

1. Our turn is after Merc. UnO is the turn player for them.

2. My intention was to grow Taz to 6 pop, whip out a settler and then immediately revolt to caste system and pacificism, hiring as many scientists in Wines as possible. (Hire an artist to get a border expansion in Carnero as well.) Hence I have been encouraging growth at Wines as much as possible (note, however, that it has now reached its health limit). If you think another approach is better, then by all means implement it.

3. Our two axes with 7 and 8 exp pts have been arrived at EotS. My intention was to fortify them in forests/hills on the eastern frontier in hope that one of them reaches 10 exp pts against the barbs.

4. Once we discover Feudalism, we gift it to AC. (We also owe them paper.) However, I'm not sure exactly when AC *need* Feudalism. I have been running 50% Science to bank gold until EotS gets its library (and academy). Ideally I would run 0% Science until that time but I have no idea exactly what the arrangement with AC is. (I asked the team a few turns ago but got no response.)

5. A couple of micromanagement things with workers. I have been buiding imporvements while moving workers around to maximise their output each turn. There are two workers that have just completed farming Wines88. Half a road has been built on the adjacent tile to the NE. One of those workers can finish it off while moving toward Carnero to assist improvements there.

6. I'm not sure what the plan with The Voice is. It looks like it has the best production potential of any city we will get before the renaissance era. I was thinking of mining the iron first (since this can be done to coincide with city growth) and then farming the flood plains, followed by farming river tiles. Do what ever you think is best, but make note of it somewhere so that when I come back I can continue what you have started.

7. There is a Taoist missionary in Taz. I was thinking of giving Taz Taoism so that it can run priests for a shrine later on. No one gave feedback on this idea so I have not used the missionary yet.

8. Concensus seems to be that the next settler goes north to the banana site. But it is best to check with Blake RE border arrangements with AC before this is finalised.

Good luck!

[notyoueither]

Darn. I was hoping I would get to fire off an ICBM.

Oh well. I am sure I can muddle through, and follow your directions.

Have fun!

I set the tax slider to 100% (+79 gpt). We get a lib in EotS in 5 (or less). Surplus(es) spent through libs are a better use of commerce. Let me know if you disagree.

Let me know what shots you want and I'll scare them up.
