Rivertown City Planning

cavebear · April 4, 2002, 09:47

Rivertown is about to build a Settler. That will cause a city food shortage of -1 per turn, reduce the city surplus shield production to 1. The city has an entertainer, but no Temple. The city is currently supporting a Settler, a Phalanx, and 2 Warriors.

How big is the city? How long will each of these take to build?

Perhaps even including a shot of the city screen would be a good idea here.

I think the already supported settler is the one one its way to settle near the silk. If you settle that fellow, there will be no food shortage. In either case, I say make a caravan for wonder construction instead.

I tried the screenshot, but I can't seem to get it small enough for the Board to accept (says I have to reduce it to 600 x 0). Any advice would be appreciated, as I didn't expect a problem posting screenshots.

Rivertown is a size 3 city.

Turns to complete: Settler or Legion 2, Diplomat 1, Caravan 7, Temple 11

If we use the settler to build one of the cities that our expansion minister is planning I would suggest to go for the settler(since there seem to be 10 new city-locations waiting for a settler.)

[edit]sorry,switched the cityplanner with the expansion minister...mea culpa,mea maxima culpa[/edit]

The Minister of City Planning is recommending that no new cities be established until we have our existing happiness problems corrected. Our Civ is nearly at stagnation at the moment due to very low shield production and adjustments being made to fend off revolt from unhappiness.

I believe you are thinking of the Minister of Expansion...

let´s make a caravan for the wonder,

Make diplomats so we can build embassies , we need to know what other civs are up to.

If the settler is about to be built, to change for a diplo means a loss of shield (as an improvement of course).
The economic choice is beetween :
- a settler, for founding the decided city (site #8 ?) then wait for Mike'sChapel
- and a caravan to be stacked for building Mike's.

Diplomats do not cost shields to support.

If we've got happiness problems it would seem that a temple is in order.

I think our happiness problems go a little further then can be solved by building a temple(and if not needed now diplo's or caravans are better=> no loss of shields.

shade - You're absolutely right.

I've not been following the game for a while and posted my comment before reading the rest of the threads and discovering the dire problems we're having.

If I had my vote again, it would be for a camel, ready to rush build Mike's Chapel.

I should have checked out the game more carefully before wasting my vote.

No harm done, Hywel Dda. The poll is closed and the caravan has prevailed.
I'm sure our glorious President shade

and City Planner cavebear will do the right thing.

The ppl have spoken!

shade · April 5, 2002, 10:47

absolutly no harm done Hywel Dda...
Rest assured I'll do everything (bribe,steal,kill,conquer,burn,pillage,...) to get us that Michelangelo's Chapel as soon as possible.
