My fellow Ministers have started a number of polls to clarify the opinion of the people on what our Imperium needs to crush the remaining resistance to our forces. 
Unfortunately, their polls conflict somewhat, and I post this poll to clarify the results of theirs (whatever that result may be).
Our Minister of War asks whether we need more Calvary and suggests that we switch to Cannon. Regardless of the results of that poll, I ask whether we need largescale production of any additional units. We are currently producing Calvary in 14 cities, and have barracks in 42 cities. How many cities should be producing offensive units (and I include Alpine Troops in these "offensive units" in that they are used in the attack on the enemy)? I recommend switching production in as many of these 42 cities as is feasible. Further, I recommend that we build barracks in those cities that do not require further infrastructure, and add units to the build ques in those cities as well.
Our Foreign Minister asks for more diplomats and asks that we produce less engineers (though engineers are the lifeblood of the City Planner office and we are sensitive to any office suggesting that their work is unneccessary or that these clearly overworked individuals are not deserving of additional assistance  ). Our food surplus is minimal in many cities, and actually in a negative in many cities with Engineers so we cannot likely produce many more engineers regardless of the results of that poll. The diplomats are currently being trained in 19 cities, and many of those cities without the production capacity to produce (and support) much other then diplomats. Should we change the number of cities producing diplomats? It seems many will be required if we intend to take down city walls prior to taking cities and therefore my recommendation is that we increase the number of cities producing diplomats.
Our Science Minister asks whether we should again put our scientists to work  , and I ask...if the result is to put them to work...do we provide them places to work? We currently have 23 Libraries and 1 University sitting empty in our cities, and in truth, our office does not beleive there is any value in maintaining more places of higher learning, regardless of the results of the Science Ministers poll.
Our President/High Priest has successfully been able to get most of our cities to celebrate, and while some cities require additional infrastructure, for the most part little is required. Currently construction of Temples/Colleseums/Courthouses has essentially come to a stop. Construction of Marketplaces/Banks/Stock Exchanges have continued and our net income has risen to close to 2000 gold per turn. Our city growth is negligible, and as a result we are building few Aquaducts or Sewer Systems. To summarize, while we still require some cities to construct infrastructure, not much is required. Therefore, the question is: do we change the majority of our cities to unit production? Again it is our position that unit production is all that is required to assimilate the remainer of our enemies into the Imperium.
The office of the city planner is recommending the following:
Produce units for the Minister of War in the majority of the cities that have barracks (up to 42 currently). (these would include either Calvary or Cannon as well as Alpine Troops).
Produce diplomats (rushed if necessary) for the Foreign Ministry in those cities without barracks or those cities with low production.
Produce engineers only in those cities that can support them without facing food deficits (not many).
Not to produce any large scale infrastructure, building only those which would provide immediate help (such as temples in newly "acquired" cities and barracks in unit producing cities).
