	Piña Colada Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The year is 310 AD.
The location is the Apolytonian Palace in Apolytonia.
A great crowd has gathered by the gate, on the steps and in the throne room.
OPD stands powerfully at the top of the small stairway, sword in hand, crown on head and Minister of City Planning, Godking, standing just back and to the right of him.

"Donegeal!" Godking bellows. "Step forth and kneel before our powerful and just leader!"

Donegeal emerges from the crowd of dignitaries assembled in the hall and steps before OPD and kneels with his head lowered in a show of humbleness.

"Rise thy head, honorable Donegeal!" OPD said. "You have done much to deserve this position of power I am placing you in. Your well thought out arguments on the Persian War has lead Apolytonia on a Glorious quest to enlighten the Persian people to the ways of the Banana. Your actions on the front while under the leadership of his Greatness, General Ramses, lead to the victory that General Sun Tzu based his great novel, the Art of War, on. No one will forget how when you lost your spear in the belly of the Goliath Persian Archer, you reached down from your steed and scooped up the sword of a fallen comrade and charged the remaining platoon of archers on your own. Those efforts lead SMC Aggie to push for the technology known as Chivalry. You, Donegeal, were our First Knight. And with this distinction comes Honor and Responsibility."

OPD raises his sword and taps each of Donegeal's shoulders

"I dub thee Donegeal! Warlord of Pina Colada, First Knight of Apolytonia!"

"Rise Lord Donegeal, and greet the populace of our great empire as one of its leaders!"

Donegeal rises and turns to address the cheering crowed as servants place the Royal Cape of Apolytonia about his shoulders and back.

"Thank you for this honor, Sire! I pledge to do all that I can first for the Empire, then for the people of Pina Colada." Donegeal announces. "Having been an Advisor for the Ameri-poly people under the strong arm of the rebel despot General Washington until I was enlightened to the ways of the Banana by the liberation of Del Monte, I will greatly enjoy having him as my piss bucket boy!"

The crowd roars in cheer and laughter.

"Seriously, though, I will give recommendation to the MCP on a constant basis. I also deem that the entire Region will gladly submit and strongly urge the MCP on any request by another minister, be it the Minister of Imperial Expansion, the Supreme Military Commander, right down to the Minister of Public Works."

"Thank you again OPD, Godking and the people of Apolytonia! Let the celebration begin!"

I will set up orders/sugestions for the Cities under my care when I get the save back to my home computer.

If anyone has any suggestions for any of the cities please post.

Ninot- I'm thinking of asking for individual Mayors of cities and I keep seeing you beating your Del Monte drum. Might you be interested?

As a propopent and speaker of the M.P.P., I am charged with communicating to you, Sir Donegeal, that the time of Piña Colada's ascendancy will be brief. The power and the glory will return to our mighty home province, Piña Colada. You would be wise to subjugate yourself before us and the M.P.P. now, while it is still an option for you, and lest your political career come to a quick end!

If it weren't for the war efforts in Persia and soon America, I would suggest we Rush the courthouse in Chiquita (7 of 9 shields corrupt!). Go ahead and put that down as a request from Pina Colada to MoE.

I would also like to request workers sent to the region to build roads for the impending war with America and subsequent need to connect the Incense and Iron after the annexation.

Timeline is well ahead in terms of improvements built and is thusly correctly building a Knight, however, it is still lacking the all important courthouse needed to make this city a monster. I request it build a courthouse after either this Knight or one more after that.

Exactly. The little squiggly thing. the ~ only above the n. I cannot get mine computer to do that. I can cut and paste, but that is a pain.

	Suggestions for 490 Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Looking at the 490 ad save I have discovered something a bit disturbing. I am concerned about Chiquita culture flipping to Greece. The city is surounded (almost completely) by Greek cities putting lots of culture pressure against it.

Chiquita is sharing 9 TILES with Greek cities.

Greece is impressed with our culture, by does this make the city immune to flipping?

If it doesn't, I propose to switch to Cathedral (or library as they both produce 3 culture) and rush immediately.

If we are in no danger of flipping to the geeks, I say leave the cities be.

How many tiles in Chiquita's radius are contolled by the Greeks? That is how many tiles in their radius are currently in the green culture area.

Shared city tiles of Chiquita and there break down:

Vs Agos (size 5 Greek)- 6 shared (us 4, geeks 2)
Vs Delphi (size 5 geek)- 2 shared (both geek)
Vs Mycenae (size 6 geek)- 1 shared (us)

Mycenae also shares three tiles with Del Monte, all controlled by us

Au contraire, mon frere. American keyboards can very well make the ñ symbol! On a PC you have to hit ALT and then a four-digit code (PCs are retarded). On a Macintosh, simply hit option + n, and then n again:
ñ

I have all the accents and stuff, including £, ¥, ç, î, é, à, whatever, you name it I got it. I don't know all the PC codes though.

	CP suggestions for 530 ad turnthread/chat Support Apolyton

I have two suggestions:

1) rush temple in NY if funds available (116 L). Not a priority as the Aztecs won't have a temple in Boston to prevent the city from flipping for some time. Will be a MUCH higher priority next turnthread/chat.

2) request MoPW to build road to Boston. It is currently 95% corrupt. It is also on a river tile and will grow quickly (no aquaduct needed) and needs the lux to keep the populace content (yes, I know its hard to believe, but saving them from the Aztecs wasn't enough).

Donegeal if you want you can keep the title warlord as long as you want, or you can take the title of overlord.
Personally I think I might take the title of big Kahuna.

	Pina Colada suggestions for 580 Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The Library/Catherdral debate should be solved shortly with the new government. If the MoE and MoS decide to raise the sci slider, we build Libraries as cultural improvements. If not, build Cathedrals instead. This will come into play in my suggestions.

Del Monte : 3,4,7,8,15,16 + 1 tax (make 20 [rivered forest] the tax)
Growth: stagnate
Build: Marketplace (unknown turns left/unknown rush)
'Q': Pike, Lib/Cath, Wkr, Lib/Cath

Chiquita: 4,5,6,12,13,14
Growth: stagnate (aquaduct)
Build: Cathedral (10/200) (cath as cult improvement, could switch to Lib)
'Q': Pike (over wkr), Aquaduct (instead of walls), wkr, Lib
PW: Road tiles 5 and 6 (would net +2 or 3 Lpt)
Continue to road to new city between Chi/Wash

New York: 1,4,5,8 (Road finished to city. Tax changed to tile 5)
Growth: 5/1 (expand)
Build: Wkr (6/24) (If rushed, ensure 1,8,20)
'Q': Lib/Cath (over court, quicker flip of Boston), Pike (over wkr), Court
PW: Road tile 9 (for future road to Boston)
Notes: When expand, ensure 1,5,8,20 (river forest to Flood plain). Grow (if wkr not rushed) ensure 1,4,5,8,20

SMC wants two defensive units in each city. This is why I changed wkrs to Pike.
Oh, and MoCP, whoever it turns out to be , ensure that one specialist remains a Sci (in any city) unless Sci slider is increased.

I mentioned this to donegeal in the last turnchat, but thought I'd post it here for everyone's knowledge:

To get the correct character in Piña Colada, hold down your ALT key, and press 1-6-4 on your numberpad. This is how you get an extended ASCII character on a standard PC keyboard. For the rest of the ASCII codes, go here: www.asciitable.com.
