Cavebear, thx for the info...about the trireme...I'll try to have a new look at the save before sending the report...the problem with that trireme is that it's to far away from any part of our civilization. Shade  |
Our situation with our Triremes is difficult. We've been using them for trade transport with the Chinese mostly, but those are rather awkward trips, and keep our ships in the southern areas. Our other ships have become dispersed in exploration of our nearby surroundings, and have gotten somewhat away from home. Without units to tip huts or Dips to establish embassies, they are not as useful as they could be.
Rather than digging ourselves further into a hole of finding our exploratory ships further and further away but not of much use (other than charting our world), I suggest that we consider improving the situation.
Let us locate our ships and organize their missions (wouldn't it be nice if we could name them for identification?). Ships that are nearest to our cities should carry a Dip and a military unit each (or 2 Dips?). These would be transported in the direction of unmanned ships that would head for a common meeting point.
The Dips and Military units could be dropped off on vacant land for a turn or two while the far-flung ships picked them up (saving time for the transport ships to return to trading routes).
In not *too* many turns, we would have exploring Triremes with units aboard seeking out the missing civs, and other Triremes back to trade and Barb "recruitment" duties.
I think this would be a good project for the Minister of Imperial Expansion to take on. Does all this sound about right to you? I wouldn't mind *anyone* taking on that project, quite frankly, even an interested Citizen. Come to think of it, it would be really fascinating if 2 or more people examined the problem and presented alternative solutions.

<-- enemy slamming into our wall of defence 
)...we aren't activly attacking anyone...and will not(except if the ppl of new apolytonia demand it)
I suggest we at least wait for gunpowder to come.
...most orders from the previous session are still "under construction" so to say. The only 2 questions I have are wich island this trireme should go explore?(cfr screens) and should we continue a steady buildup of diplo's(always be building 1 diplo somewhere untill all cities have one).

"
or is there a master plan I am not aware of?
you're right 
...then I think it's best to just send it the same path but continue to oblida take a unit aboard there and then return upward to one of the 2 options.
