	Should we road towards CDG? Increase Your PM Length

We have several workers in the build queue, and have several workers already 1/2 way there. Our army will be mostly slow movers. We will have to road that way soon. And we will have a hoplite we can cover the worker with if we feel the need to do so.

Let the people decide. Discussion welcome.

Yes, but after we do necessary improvements near our cities.

A road sounds like a good idea, but I think that if we do build a road down to CDG, before the war, we'll first need to come up with a viable diplomatic excuse. The last thing we need at the moment is them getting suspicous of our intentions.

To make it sound legitimate, we should contact CDG and run a proposal for a road linking Apo and CDG, with the stated intention of later initiating some lux trades. If we play it right, we could even get them to help build the road of their own destruction

No. The amount of workers is limited. We should improve our cities' lands first.

Where there are spare workers (can't see it happening, but maybe) then sure, why not?

But we can hook up a lux and offer it to CDG if they build the road, and we arrange all this just before we attack......

Build the road if all the tiles are cities are working, and if all the tiles we anticipate our cities to be working in the near future are already improved.

That way we balance the need for improved tiles vs the need for a military road.

Won't they say just build a harbor? I know I would. If you can get them to buy it go for it.

Simple excuse: all of our shields are currently tied up in REXing and infrastructure. We are currently building harbours, but we really need the lux NOW.

Well, let's not provide too much help, but we certatinely should invest one worker road connect the city we have that's closest to their border right up to a tile outside their cultural boundary connected to their internal road network to "speed up luxary trades"

I say devote 1 worker to the road until every major city has it's 3 best tiles improved. The road will slowly get completed.

How many turns are we from the SoD's first movement, anyway?

20 plus turns Uber. Closer to 20 than 30.

Actually if the turn number is correct we have 21 turns until we begin the :evil plan:

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

than one worker, assuming he can/is able to move onto the first tile this turn, could complete 5 roads before the :evil plan: is enacted.

That could theoretically save 4 turns of movement, so I'm stickign with my original vote, to send (at least) one worker out, while using the majorty of the worker force to improve major cities.

Our closest worker is 3 tiles from their border. He has no current work orders..... so I am thinking we send him over that way. We will go just slightly north of the horses that they cannot see yet, and end just outside their border.

Will our diplomats tell them that we are going to build a road so that we can trade them one of our extra wine for one of their extra fur......

If they want a harbor to do trade, tell them that we don't (honestly, we don't) have map making.
