	MOI Office - Next Build Discussion Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Soon (3 turns), we will have completed our Granary. This is a discussion thread to determing which way our people want to go.

Please note, this is a discussion, with a poll for the purpose of helping to determing the course of action the people want to go. As MOI, I will make a recomendation to the Consuls that may or may not follow this poll. It is they, our Consuls, that will have the final decision. I will, however, weigh the values of the people in my recomendations.

There are several choices that I am looking favorably at. There are several that I am discounting (barracks for one). So, please discuss the options.

Warrior. Cost 10 shields.
Worker. Cost 10 shields and one pop.
Settler. Cost 30 shields and two pop.

My gut (without running any tests) is to do a warrior and then the settler. This will allow us to go up to size 4 without needing to play with an entertainer or the lux slider, and provide a second defender for when our 'friends' get near without having to return one of our scouts.

Thanks.

A worker is an option to be able to get a jump on roading toward our next city site, but considering the proximity of our "friends" I happen to agree with warrior as the next build. Also, once the settler is built, we can use that warrior for escort duty.

Warrior Next

BTW, a hoplite is technically another option...it would just take 2 turns longer to build it which means playing with the slider as well as adding those two turns to the time it would take to build the settler.

I think we should build a settler next, or a warrior if we lose one to the hut. If we build a warrior, then recall another warrior, and build two settlers in a row.

Risky, but if it works, that is a good economic base, to hurt people with...

EDIT: the recalled warrior scouts out the new location for Barbs/CDG/other

BTW - if we are looking to do the settler next, I will skip starting on a road in 2 turns, and chop another forest instead, taking our build time down from 6 turns to 4.

Warrior, to be built as settler escort in the light of new barbs.

The Warrior appears to be winning hands down. As that is also what I believe, that is what I will recomend to the consuls to build next, provided, of course, that nothing significant happens first.

I'm thinking the following in order

Warrior
Settler
Baracks
Settler
Hoplite
Settler
Hoplite or Temple
Settler

Where's the option for ICBM?

Just because it is not yet available to build this turn doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered for the build que.

Have a nice day.

BTW, joncnunn...we need workers involved in that build queue too. Until and unless we get a worker pump city going then we'll need our cities to intersperse workers into the build queues or else we'll have some pretty pathetic tile improvement with only one worker.

Recall a warrior and build a settler, we need a second city NOW!!!!!

Unless it makes more sense to build the warrior first so we get a settler just as we jump a pop point.

arbs are wimps in Conquests and the last I remember seeeing the next city was going to be south.

I didn't forget workers, but figure that either our second and/or third city could handle those mixed in with military units until we get a worker pump.
