We bribed a couple of American and one Greek city's.
The highway will take a long time yet but the good news is Americans are currently researching Railroads.
We are about halfway to Explosives

1620: Change production in a lot of city’s as per the CP/MoW’s recommendations.

We find the Russian city of Moscow, we make peace and collect 200 gold in tribute
Some American invaders killed near Sheol, our Musk becomes a vet. I rush the Baracks being build there with the money we got from Russians.
Kill a diplomat near Styx.

City of Sebennytus founded near Imperalis.

1670: Zulu get poly. We get 100 gold from a hut. The Greek city of Argos is discovered south of Outpost, we can bribe it but I reckon we can bribe Chicago in 1-2 turns so decide not to.

Good job.

We are on the move now!

[CannonFodder]

Why is science at 80%? Fundy doesn't gain anything from having science above 50%.

[cavebear]

By moving the tax rate around, we don't *lose* anything above 50% either. It just doesn't change until below 50%.

[Ben Kenobi]

What happened with my earlier proposal of going for a celebrating Fundamentalist government, by cranking up taxes and luxuries?

I'm going to play around with the save as soon as I get Civ installed again.

Surely we can do better than 257 gold given the size of our empire.

Anyways, good turns, we should send a diplomatic expedition to 'scout' out Stuttgart. Surely, the Germans will want to show off Michaelangelo's Chapel.

I played around with taxes but even with 50% lux we only get a couple of city's celebrating.

Its not worth the effort

[Ben Kenobi]

Send me the save and let me have a crack at celebrations.

[atawa]

I send you the save at the adress you gave me

[Ben Kenobi]

I've been trying to set up my computer, and less than diligent about checking my emails. Therefore, it must have bounced because I don't see the latest save in my folder.

Please re-send now, as I have cleaned out my backlog.

[atawa]

I just send it again.

[Ben Kenobi]

atawa:

One trick to remember, pull up one worker, even if the city starts eating the granary so that the city celebrates.

Secondly, maximise trade, not production, in every city.

With 80 percent luxuries and the starvation trick, I can get every city to celebrate except for Famine and Dallas.

We can lower luxuries once we cross the threshold to celebrations, the hard part is to get to the celebrations first.

Since, I am only the humble science advisor, I recommend that the cityplanner adopt these suggestions to greatly improve the productivity of the glorious Apolytonian Imperium.

Great session, our army has grown quite a bit.

I think now it might be time to do something about our taxes and science...50 cities and only 12 markets and 12 libraries we need a lot more.
(I've posted a poll about all this)

[Sparrowhawk]

Has our president played our his turns yet?

/me who has no right to be impatient, but is anyway

[MrWhereItsAt]

The forum HAS been a little bit slower than usual recently I guess....

Will there be any further play before elections? Perhaps the Prez is letting the next Admin take over from now.

[cavebear]

I thought he was going to play the 27th, but maybe it was the 28th.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I got a pm from atawa indicating that an emergency had come up on his end, and that he couldn't play. He asked me to play in his stead.

The thing is, I am kind of short of time here and probably won't be able to play until early or mid-week.

So, if that's acceptable to the citizenry, please email me the reports. Otherwise, I suppose we can wait until the next administration.

[cavebear]

I say play. That's one reason we have a VP.

[Sparrowhawk]

The Foreign Ministers report has been forwarded to our Vice President. We look forward to hearing the results of your turns (in other words, in my humble opinion, you should play when you can, especially as atawa's position is as of yet uncontested for next month).

/me Foreign Minister

[shade]

the CP orders have been translated and send

Shade

[Ben Kenobi]

Science report sent. Not much new to report.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Thanks, Ministers

I will do my best to play and post a log in the next few days.

-STYOM, doing his Al Haig impression

[MrWhereItsAt]

Is OK, STYOM. Delays are fine, as long as we know that this game is being remembered...

Translated? Oh oh, I am not sure our VP would understand my First Language (Canadian, eh), so I left it in it's original form.
