Todo:
- set all workers idle on forests to chop
- continue moving northern scout along the coast
- move southern scout unto the hill towards south (be careful while moving, don't move 2 moves in one go).
- move chucks, except the most forward one diagonally towards Vox
- move chuck near Xian to northeast - fogbusting
- 0% science

Things needing attention:
- What do we do with the forward chuck? Fortify, retreat or move ahead?

[Impaler[WrG]]

Fortify forward Chuck on hill, a retaliatory attack from Vox seems likley and they will have no compunction against suiciding a stack at us for spites sake.

With Calander in our grasp we should begin planning to develop the Tassagrad Silk once its forest has been cleared.

I think we need to contact GS and atleast inform them of our movements towards Vox, If we don't intend to assist Vox now and alliance with GS for atleast the near turn is the plan we dont want to piss them off. We might even do a cordinated strike on this city or if we capture it gift or trade it to them.

At the same time establishing a formal border with GS would be a wise, the fact our troops are in control of the area we wish to claim adds considerable legitimacy.

I'll post a message proposal in GS diplo

=> northern chuck : in the last turn, it seemed as if the northern coast line was completely scouted already ?
[edit](see below) Yes BT, I meant scout here [/edit]

=> forward chuck : fortify where we are until all chucks can be stacked (3 turns waiting)

[binTravkin]

You mean northern scout, PJay?
The coastline is not scouted starting from the silver spot just NE from Dongjing.

[binTravkin]

Turn's in and I've done most of the stuff - only chucks left to move.

Here's a snapshot of the situation down south - no GS or Vox units visible yet.


Midturn attached.

[PJayTycy]

Our scout downsouth looks safe where he is. I would walk towards GS, but it's all open terrain there.

moved chucks exept the forward one

I also moved the archer in Mhasa next to the barbarian warrior in a roaded forrest.

endturn:

overview of our 6 workers :
Xian : chopping a forest (2 turns)
Xian : just finished chopping
Tassagrad : chopping a forest (2 turns)
Tassagrad : chopping a forest (3 turns)
Dongjing : chopping a forest (2 turns)
Dongjing : chopping a forest (3 turns)


overview of our cities :



Xian and Tassagrad will have a settler ready soon (just before/after their chop finishes)
Dongjing's Granary will be ready fast due to chopping too
HongKong's Library will be whipped after angriness is down (4 turns)
Mhasa will just need to work 6 turns on the courthouse, nothing to speed things up there.
Being has 7 turns of angriness left. The monastery will be 45/60 done then (atleast), so it's not good to whip at that time (we don't want whips with 1 pop). I'd propose working a mine in Being to speed this monastery up a little bit, so we can whip something else in 7 turns.

Ok, I agree, Beijing needs some build plan.
Other cities wouldn't hurt too.
Anyone wanting to aid me in this?
Basically we could select the cities which each person must plan out and do that.
It's not that much effort (30 min to 2h of your time) to do a build plan and you need to only do it once each 20 turns, which is each 2-3 RL months.

Any takers?
I'm ready to explain any things unclear about how build plans are made.

[PJayTycy]

I could do a city or 2. For example making sure the double chops in tassagrad / donging won't be wasted.

One thing that's a little unclear to me: I took those numbers all from after endturn (ie: from the latest save you posted). If a chop is listed as "2 turns left" and some production is listed as "2 turns left", which one will be first ?

[binTravkin]

Chop will be first.
If after endturn chop lists it will be finished in 1 turn, it means it will finish before next endturn (when all the actions are finished), while a building will be finished only after clicking on the end turn button.

[binTravkin]

So you take Tassagrad + DongJing?
Should be pretty simple and if you notice some pattern take Xian too - they are all the same.
I will then do Bejing, Hong Kong and Mhasa if no one else volunteers.

[Mart]

you have excel spreadsheet for it?

[binTravkin]

No, but actually it's a good idea to make one.
I tried to do so some time ago, but got stuck in some calculations which were hard to implement.

[Mart]

well, if that's going to be another app that will need quite some effort + debugging, we can settle on something simple. I can prepare some for comparison the text editor way.

Do you remember in which threads there are examples - year BC?
