National Security Report

Hi, I'm skywalker, and this is the second edition of NATIONAL SECURITY REPORT. Here are the latest spysat photos (you'll have to download them, as they're bigger than 600x600), and then go down to the next post.

I'm just going to give a breakdown of everything I know so far:

Apolytonia:

Gold - 13, 0 per turn
Science - Bronze Working in 8 turns
Tax - 0%, Sci - 100%, Lux - 0%
Techs - Ceremonial Burial, Masonry

Cities:

Apolyton:
Pop - 2 content
Trade - 4
Gold - 0
Science - 4
Luxury - 0
Corruption - 0
Shields - 3
Corruption - 0
Culture - 13, 1 per turn

Thebes (temporary name):
Pop - 1 content
Trade - 4
Gold - 0
Science - 3
Luxury - 0
Corruption - 0
Shields - 1
Corruption - 0
Culture - 0, 0 per turn

Units:

Worker 2N of Apolyton
Worker 2NW of Apolyton
Warrior in Apolyton
Warrior near French Warrior (see above post)

France: Incomplete

Gold - 45
Techs - Masonry, Bronze Working, Alphabet

Cities: Unkown

Units: Incomplete

Warrior near exploring Apolytonian Warrior (see above post)

I'll have no idea what we're building until we decide.

A few things to consider:

When we contacted the French, they would trade us Bronze Working and 8 gold for Ceremonial burial, but they wouldn't give us Alphabet at all. Also, our conquest of them will be seriously hampered by the jungle, as well as the fact that we have no, repeat NO military technology whatsoever (warriors don't count). We need to develop Warrior Code for Archers.

Nicely done.

Kuciwalker · June 21, 2002, 16:00

Replies, especially those suggesting possible improvements to the column, are welcome.

Kuciwalker · June 21, 2002, 16:26

Please reply. Someone out there. Please.

huh...
what's to say? it looks good. I like the imaging effect. It also is about the clearest, most concise picture of our world right now.
Thank you.

I agree with you about the warrior code. we need it. we can wipe out those frenchies with just archers if we have to, ive done it before.

we really need to explore more and get more cities up to support the endevor of conquest. POur SMC needs scads of units and we need cities to churn them out.

Not many really good city sites at the mooment though. I think we should colonize the grassland near the French to cut them off and to get a nice city.(shield grassland!Hooray!)

GodKing · June 21, 2002, 17:09

Picture looks good - although I did have trouble getting back to this thread after..... no big deal.

A lot of info. Later in the game think about what is realy important and not so much so as with 20 cities, 150 odd units, and 16 known civs out there with all the other info....

Kuciwalker · June 21, 2002, 17:11

I'm not going to do all of this info forever. It's just that right now it's pretty easy. Actually, I might put it all together in a different thread later in the game, but only if I have the time.

GodKing · June 21, 2002, 17:23

Sounds good. Organization is the key here.

Any plans on how (or if) to do the pictures once the world comes into view? I can't think of any good way to do so and still keep enough detail...

Kuciwalker · June 21, 2002, 17:31

I'll just do a few pictures, or quit. After a few times, it's not funny anymore.

Panag · June 21, 2002, 17:35

hi ,

we could start a library thread , where all the pic are put , only post's of pics , anyone else , .... we ask a MOD to check on this , ...

have a nice day

ManicStarSeed · June 21, 2002, 17:44

Right on....

an archive thread would be ideal. only the historian should be able to post to it...

Trip ....
how about adding that to the constituion in an amendment?

Add what as an amendment? It has to be pretty important and a controversial issue (problems arise over it) in order to warrant an amendment.

UnOrthOdOx · June 21, 2002, 17:46

I think the info here is desperately needed. Maybe not the pictures, perhaps just pictures focusing on unit placement? But all the city info is going to become MORE critical in the future IMO. And this is good organization.

GodKing · June 21, 2002, 18:00

Much of the info is important. But it all doesn't change each turn (except being one turn closer to completion that is). Perhaps every 10 turns or so....

Pics are great for strategy, unit placement, etc. - war

Text is good for urban planning, trading, etc

Depends on what your focus is for how important each type of info is.

Couple of threads could work ok. Just thinkin out loud...

hi ,

why would people not like it , its in the benefit of them , ...

then again , we dont need to put that in the constitution , ....

we could aska MOD to post a message , saying that who ever does post , other then the thread starter , or his replacement to be fryed over some banana's , ....

this seems a good solution , ..

have a nice day

ManicStarSeed · June 21, 2002, 18:56

Amendment to the constitution would only be required if we wanted to put it on the historian to create it and keep it updated.

in need of a signature....

I've PMed Trip to ask if he'll top my column (I might keep it in the same thread). He's agreed to put my column, or at least part, in his Current Game Report (with credit to me, of course). What do all of you think?

Kingof the Apes · June 22, 2002, 18:43

Great. A good insight into our empire.
