City Specialists
===

The only circumstance that we shall employ the specialists that we currently have available (farmers) would be to grow a size 1 city to size 2. Since I don't forsee us having any size 1 cities, given current plans, I see no need to touch work assignments.

Should we get Drama, and hence entertainers, they will be used where necessary to keep happiness above riot level.

So far looks good MrBaggins.

Well that is a good question. I will add it to the question list. Fortunatly we have the poll about the alternative advance if we couldn't research Jurisprudence. So I can at least put it temporary into the research list, fortunatly as far as I know the science isn't lost if we switch.

Here is a concept to streamline things:

As MoDA, most expenditure will be based on things that I'm looking to rush build. As such, each and every desicion has to go through the president, which means, from experience... some amount of debate.

If we want to streamline the game a bit... then the President could set aside a discretionary MoDA fund, which could be used as the MoDA chose. Thus the small stuff doesn't get argued... most "discussion" involves people enquiring about how much the cost to rush is and how much we have in the treasury. I could include this info, in the ORDER.

Additional or ongoing contribution to the fund would be, of course, at the Presidents discretion.

First of all lats name all the armies:
Lonely Warriors - wounded warrior that is far away from our city at west.
There is no need to name the armies below those are just for the understanding of the plan.
LemurForce west - 5 units west of H Town.
LemurForce east - 2 units east of H Town near Pedrunn.
LemurForce north - 2 units north of H Town near Wels.
Pedrunnia Defenders - grouped units at Pedrunnia.
Mapfipolis Defenders - grouped units at Mapfipolis.
Locuta Defenders - grouped units at Colonia Locuta.
H Defensers - grouped units at H Town.
Pressburg Defenders - grouped units at Pressburg.

A8-9
Pretty much the plan of mrbagggins just some minor changes.
Turn 1-3: Once we have twelve in H Town units together group them an calling it 'LemuForce' leaving a Hoplite and a Archer as H Town Defenders. And move it west in case no enemy unit at north appears otherwise it will need to discussed some possible attack to it. At the east wait to join other two warriors together with the Lemuforce reaching a size 12 army.
If a unit is blocking the passage of the LemuForces East and has size 1 attack. Stand still and if the victory is clear send a attack of the Lemuforce to destroy it. Other wise keep it out of trouble coming back to Pedrunnia in case of a chase! Once the threat is eliminate join the Lemuforce East together with the Lemuforce. Sending it to the SW tile of H Town.
Turn 3+ - See A13

A10
Turn 1 - Get 1 archer and 2 hoplites from the mapfipolis Defenders and send to attack to the barbarian catapult at east.
Turn 2 - Send those units back to mapfipolis and fortify
Turn 3 - Keep it fortified.

A11
Turn 1 - Send the Lonely Warriors North.
Turn 2-3 - Keep the size 4 austrian army in its sight. But always having a distance of at least two tiles from other s enemy armies.
If a sight cant be managed stand still. In cas the army chase this unit send it close to H Town where we are going to create a major attak force.
Turn 4 - In case the size 4 austrian army has an unknown position and the lonely warriors cant look for it send it to the nearest city/army to be healed. Or more at north to be explore. It will depend of the outcome of the battles and our situation.

A12
- Not until we conquer Graz! After that we may consider one but only if the cities are very well protected, Graz attack was a sucess and the barbarian/other civs threats are not that threatening specially for the exploring unit and the cities. So really not possible to decide now. But i wont unconsider that.

A13
Once we have finish all orders of A8 and A-9. And Lemuforce is in the West (or SW) tile of H Town
Continue this plan.
Send a warrior from Pedrunnia Defenders in a suicidal attack to Graz. We need to know what is inside it!
Time to conquer Graz. Our army must move South and then SW along the part of the river most at west.
The next move of the Lemuforce must be to the forest at North of Graz and must happen right after the move of the suicidal warrior from Pedrunnia Defenders to Graz. Dont send the suicidal warrior through the river like mrbaggins plan but through the path given by the game engine (NW, NW, E, E, E, E).
If for any reason the Suicidal warrior dont arrives at the sam time the Lemuforce does to Graz (They have been coodinate to have the same timing) the Lemuforce can move SW, NW instead of going to the forest right away for exploring reasons. In case the suicidal warrior arrives first keep two tiles away from Graz and only send it in case the Lemufirce moves at the same turn to the forest.
Attack Graz if the number of units is not enough to defeat us (Probably >=8). If not go after the enemy armies at the field.
Once conquered keep the units fortified and healing in Graz.
Once conquered at least 7 units must keep fortified in Graz to protect from possible Austrians attack. If the people in the chat concurs other units can have other destinations.
This plan can only be aborted if our cities a being very threatened by the field enemies.

**MrBaggins** · February 20, 2003, 21:05

I disagree with a delay of an attack on Graz (barring an absolute emergency)

1) The Austrians are ahead in tech. They can build more advanced troops which will make conquering Graz much tougher
2) Delaying an attack gives them more time to reinforce Graz, and/or build troops or fortification there
3) I believe we can, with prudent rush buying garrison the western towns effectively. We can even, if necessary transfer 1 troop from Pressburg to H-Town: The stack will commit to either Pressburg OR H-Town, they can't do both simultaneously.

The attack from the forest isn't a terrible idea, but whilst we are in inferior tech position, and have superior numbers, speed and mobility are king.

Fortune favors the brave.

Having said this, the best of luck Pedrunn.
