	Report 2550 BC - Proposal 2510 BC Increase the size of your Attachments

Actions taken in 2550 BC

worker Rhot: started roading iron hill.
worker McM: moved 1 into forest.
worker Snoop: started mining RSBG.
warrior Rex 3/3: moved 9 along DR southern border.
warrior Dog 4/4: fortified in BC-52's.
archer Kurt Cobain 3/3: moved 4 from DR iron hill.
archer Dave Grohl 4/4: moved 866 onto mountain near furs at sea.
archer krist Novoselic 4/4: fortified in Metallica.
archer Billy Idol 4/4: fortified in U2.
archer yet unnamed 4/4: fortified in Nirvana.

AbbA: spearman in 1
U2: settler in 2 (to be founding on hill next to fur at sea)
Nirvana: worker in 10 will be changed to spear or archer
Metallica: barracks in 6
BC-52's: library will be changed to barracks or archer

CoL @ 60% science finishes in 12 turns
Treasury @ 5 g, +1 gpt
10% luxeries

Diplomacy:
- Huge discussion going on between CM, Paddy (BOH) & McM, Snoopy (EU) on arranging an alliance between LB, Babs, BOH & EU against DR.
- offered IW to LB again.
- We were offered maths by DR, Snoopy had a chat with Moon about it



Remarks
- DR now has a spearman in his iron city.
- moving towards DR will most probably take longer than they'll be able to have the iron connected. It is to be expected that they have enough money to upgrade a few warriors.
- What tactics are we going to apply on taking on DR? I'm not too keen on leaving the motherland all undefended with all those wandering warriors unless that alliance is firmly sealed. Moreover I expect we can make more impact on a well coordinated attack by all 4. For that matter I suggest the FA ministers of the 4 sit down in a powow, share relevant maps and come up with a masterplan.


Proposal for actions in 2510 BC

worker Rhot: continue roading iron hill.
worker McM: start chopping forest.
worker Snoop: continue mining RSBG.
warrior Rex 3/3: move 8 along DR southern border.
warrior Dog 4/4: fortified in BC-52's.
archer Kurt Cobain 3/3: fortify 4 from DR iron hill.
archer Dave Grohl 4/4: fortify on mountain top.
archer krist Novoselic 4/4: fortified in Metallica.
archer Billy Idol 4/4: fortified in U2.
archer yet unnamed 4/4: fortified in Nirvana.
spearman Phill Collins: fortify in AbbA

Diplomacy:
- Get the 4-fold alliance going.

	Got spare money?

I'd like to strike hard and fast. We should have enough defense ready in a few turns, just leave one warrior behind...

Oh, and settler and worker builds = I do not like these builds. We should be on a wartime footing imo, and building archers or spearmen or barracks in *every* city.

Builds i would want:

U2- whatever doesn't waste too many shields, but at this point I guess an archer. It was at one point to build an archer next turn anyway...
Nirvana- archer
Abba- spearman
B52s - spearman or warrior (warrior can defend the homeland just as well againts wandering barb warriors or babylonian, and is faster)
Metallica - barracks complete, then archer or swordsmen if road is done soon

We must sacrifice settler/worker builds, for a little bit, in order to get to the war ready and equipped. I feel there's general support for the war in the war thread, so we should immediately change towards that, not change away from it (U2 was changed to settler from archer, etc.)

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

From the other thread...

Agreed. If we're going to war (and I think everyone supports it) then we should do everything possible to make that war successful. Once we have a few more units popped out then we can go back to settlement and improvement.

	Suffering from ads?

I disagree on abandoning the settler build. Two reason to build the settler is to supress unhappiness (growth of U2) and have a larger basis for unit support. The other builds are ok if we indeed gear up for war.

As the decission on wether or not going to war had not yet been made I have been focussing on growth and building an adequate army sofar. Building an archer in U2 was not efficient shield wise and tax wise for that matter. The settler will be finished in 2 turns (reads as the 1 after next, which implies you'd like to substitute a settler for an archer, as the archer won't be finished earlier either).

With chopping forest next to BC-52's I'd like to suggest building barracks there first. I'll have a look at what's most efficient, next turn.

	Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Heh, I suppose I should actually look and see for myself before blindly agreeing with anyone. I didn't realize the settler was so close to completion. Since it is, it's a waste to switch to a cheaper archer.

McM's point about another city making us more able to support the army is well-founded as well.
