Current Market Assessment:

Turn Number: 11
In Game year: 490 AD
"Market One": Apolyton, Termina, Tassagrad, BHQ, Mystery City(Ghengistown), Chartres, Timeline, Gaia

Total population: 7+7+6+6+6+4+2+1=39

Labor Market
Apolyton Available Labor: 4
Termina Available Labor: 6
Tassagrad Available Labor: 6
BHQ Available Labor: 6
Mystery City Available Labor: 2
Chartres Available Labor: 2
Timeline Available Labor: 7
Gaia Available Labor: 7

(The Labor market is now done on a per city basis. Simply state in the following format, "Hire 1 Labor in Apolyton @ $26 (D:S 1/4 = $25)". To use Vassal labor simply state "Use 1 of my Vassals on my estate.")

Vassals for Auction:
3 Persian
1 French
Total of 4 vassals available for auction.


Commodity Markets
FOOD MARKET
Food demand: 39x2=78 Food supplied: (2x8(city tile)) 16 + 29(fallow)=45
D:S = 78/45= $173

SHIELD MARKET
Shield Demand: 40
Shield Supply: 50
D:S = 40/50 = $80

COMMERCE MARKET
NOTE BASE RATE FOR COMMERCE IS $50
So multiply D:S by 50% for current market price.
Commerce Demand: 39x6=234
Commerce Supplied: (city tiles)17 + 23(fallow)=12
D:S = 234/40 x.50= $138

LITERATURE MARKET
7% x 39 = 3
Libraries= 2
TOTAL DEMAND = 5

ALCOHOL MARKET
{Ale, Beer, Rum, and Wine} Base price $100
Apolyton Market: 4
Termina Market: 12
Tassagrad Market: 12
BHQ Market: 12
Mystery City Market: 1
Chartres Market: 2
Timeline Market: 14
Gaia Market: 14

ALCOHOL MARKET
Wine, Rum, Beer, and Ale.

Set at Pop x 1 for cities 5 and under, Pop x 2 for cities 19 and under, and Pop x 3 for cities 20 and over. The larger/more densely packed the city, the greater the demand fof alcohol.

So a size 5 city would have a demand of 5. A size 6 city would have a demand of 12, and a size 20 city would have a demand of 30.

THIS SESSION USES THE FOLLOWING RULES:
Vassals consume 1 food for every 2 vassals. (Examples: 1 vassal consumes 1 food, 2 vassals consume 1 food, 3 vassals consume 2 food, etc.)


CURRENT BUILDINGS AVAILABLE:
RETAIL BUSINESSES
{city only} (Costs 3 shields/labor)

Any "Retail Business" can be expanded into a "Chain Retail Business" for an additional cost of 2 shield/labor which removes the 6 product max (so if the city was size 14 a "retail business" only allows you to sell 6 product at a bonus, but a "chain retail business" would allow you to sell 14)

If you have currently own a retail business you may declare the type it is this turn and it will be fully operational this trading session. (Ie, GhengisFarb has 3 Taverns, 2 Shoppes. Kloreep has 1 Shoppe. notyoueither has 1 Tavern and 1 Shoppe. UnOrthOdOx has 1 Shoppe.) NOTE that the old "Tavern" is now an "Eatery"

When built, you must choose the type of "retail business" it is:

1) "Shoppe" -bonus applies to commerce (same as current Shoppe)
2) "Eatery" -bonus applies to food (same as current Tavern)
3) "Tavern" -bonus applies to food AND alcohol, but must sell at least 1 of each to receive bonus
4) "Bar" -bonus applies to alcohol
5) "Steak House" bonus only applies to Beef (food from tiles with the Cattle resource) but bonus is 75%, not 50%
6) "Hardware Store" 50% bonus applies to shields and halfShields.
7) "Specialty Shoppe" bonus applies to a specific type of commerce (ie, Horses, Dye, Spice, etc) and only that commerce receives the bonus, but the bonus is 75%, not 50%

Any Shoppe, Hardware Store, or Specialty Shoppe in a city with a Marketplace receives an additional 25% bonus, or 75/100% total bonus.

You can cease operations for 1 trading session and convert from one type of "retail business" to another type for a cost of 1 shield/labor.


OTHER BUILDINGS
INN {city only} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Requires Eatery, Tavern, Bar, and/or Steakhouse in city chosen.
Increases bonus on product sold in Eateries, Taverns, Bars and Steakhouses owned by player in city to 100%.
An Inn requires 1 local labor to operate.

Any Inn can be expanded into an Inn Chain in a specific city for an additional cost of 3 shield/labor which removes the 6 product max (so if the city was size 14 an "inn" only allows you to sell 6 product at a bonus, but an "inn chain" would allow you to sell 14)
An Inn Chain requires 1 local labor to operate.


STOREHOUSE {city or estate} (Costs 2 shields/labor) stores up to 20 commodities (including food). NOTE: you may store up to 10 nonfood items(shields/commerce) in addition to/instead of this 20 storage.


BREWERY {city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Allows up to 4 labor to convert up 2 food into 2 Ale {Changed name from mead to ale} per labor (1 to 1 conversion).
And/or convert up 2 Grain(only source is Wheat) into 2 Beer (1 to 1 conversion). Beer sells at 30% bonus.
1) Breweries may only sell their product in a city which contains the source Brewery in its radius, or is connected to the source Brewery by railroad.
2) Until the discovery of Electricity, Ale and Beer MUST be sold the turn after it is produced, it cannot be stored.

Source for labor on estates can be vassals or city labor from any city with the brewery in its radius. For breweries in cities the labor must come from the city labor pool and/or vassals of landowners who own land within the city's radius.

Breweries may only sell their product to cities they are in the radius of until the construction of railroad. (So Duff Brewery can only sell alcohol to Tassagrad and Termina)

Source for labor on estates can be vassals or city labor from any city with the brewery in its radius. For breweries in cities the labor must come from the city labor pool and/or vassals of landowners who own land within the city's radius.

All alcohol can be sold on either the food OR commerce markets, and is calculated with the alcohol subDemand bonus.

Note that the only forseeable sources of wheat are American territory to the north and Uber Isle to the south.


DISTILLERY{city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Allows up to 4 labor to convert 2 Sugar into 2 Rum
Rum sells at 50% bonus.
The sugar must be in the Distillery's possesion at the beginning of the trading session.
Like Wine, Rum can be sold anywhere in the Market and can be stored.

Source for labor on estates can be vassals or city labor from any city with the brewery in its radius. For breweries in cities the labor must come from the city labor pool and/or vassals of landowners who own land within the city's radius.

NOTE: Sugar can only be grown in select markets, on grassland and in replacement of food. You must state during the trading session that you are growing sugar instead of food and the sugar can be sold at the end of the session on the commerce market or stored.

So basically Rum is the most profitable but requires the most coordination to produce.[/color]


WIND MILL {city or estate} ( Costs 5 shields/labor)
Allows up to 4 labor to convert 2 grain into 2 flour per labor. Flour sells on the food market at a 50% bonus.


BAKERY {city only} (Costs 4 shields/labor)
Allows up to 4 labor to convert up 2 food into 4 Snacks per labor (1 to 2 conversion).
And/or convert up 2 flour into 6 Pasteries per labor (1 to 3 conversion).

Snacks sell on the commerce market with no bonus. Pasteries sell on the commerce market with a 50% bonus.
Both Snacks and Pasteries may be sold through Shoppes and recieve the Shoppe bonus.


LUMBER MILL {city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Requires tile to have river access.

Allows up to 4 labor to convert 1 shield into 2 half-shields per labor. Half-shields function exactly like shields but sell at half the price, representing crafted construction supplies. (Your turning logs (used to build log cabins) into lumber (thinner strips of wood))


RACE TRACK {city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Requires 1 labor to operate per every 4 horses and must run at least 2 horses.
Generates 1 commerce per pop of cities with the racetrack in their radius for each labor required and that commerce is considered sold at D:S. The commerce IS considered part of the supply in the D:S calculation (it was from the Pop's disposable income).

(Example if you are running 4 horses, 1 labor, 1 commerce for each pop. Running 5 horses, requires 2 labor, generates 2 commerce for each pop.)

Each horse must come from a different player, no player can enter more than one horse per racetrack. Its up to the racetrack owner on how they want to compensate or hire players to enter horses or amount of purse if offered.

Race results will be determined by a Commisioner who CANNOT enter any horses.

Horses (commerce generated from tiles with the Horse resource) sell on the commerce market with a 30% bonus to final sale price.
Note that currently the only source of horses is notyoueither.
Horses can be kept on any tile that produces a food and as long as only one horse is kept on each tile it has no effect on the tiles food production. For each pair of horses on the same tile, 1 food is consumed.


PAPER MILL {city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
Requires tile to have river access.

Allows up to 4 labor to convert 1 shield into 2 paper per labor. Paper sells on the commerce market.


BINDERY {city or estate} (Costs 3 shields/labor)
Representing scribes before the printing press

Allows up to 4 labor to convert 1 paper into 1 book (or 2 pamphlets) per labor. Books and Pamphlets sell in the commerce market with the Literature subDemand. Books sell at 150% D/S and Pamphlets sell at 75% of D/S.


PRINTER {city or estate} (Costs 5 shields/labor)
A Binder can be upgraded after the discovery of the Printing Press for 2 shields/labor.

A Printer basically doubles what a labor can do versus a Bindery.

Allows up to 4 labor to convert 2 paper into 2 books (or 4 pamphlets) per labor. Books and Pamphlets sell in the commerce with the Literature subDemand.


Literature subDemand is equal to the market's pop x the literacy rate with an additional +1 added for each library and university in the market. As long as the subDemand is not met, all "literature" products sell at a 50% bonus.[/quote]
I'd be all about a Banana Press making Banana parchement but Jungle tiles jsut don't produce much.



To build a building in a city you must hire at least one labor from that city. Additional labor may be brought in from any noble's estate, but the first labor must be from the city or local authorities will not allow any construction on your building to take place.

The only building that will be "useable" the turn its built is Storehouse. All others technically use the turn to alter/sell products and should be in existence at the beginning of the turn to generate benefits.




ADDITIONAL RULES
Trade proposals
Solution 1:
The solution is generalized and is:

The nobles specify the amount of the commodity they want to sell/buy and their minimum/maximum price. The price they receive will be equal to the calculated D:S unless D:S is lower/higher than the minimum price in which case the commodity is not sold/bought.

example:
Market Assesment 4:4=$100
OneGuy offers one commerce and sets a minimum price of $70
SecondGuy offers two commerce and sets a minimum price of $0
ThirdGuy offers one commerce and sets a minimum price of $40

The turn is closed. Final D:S=4:8=$50


We are leaving the Grace Period at 15 turns but operate under the original
rules that you can buy unowned tiles after you have paid off your debt. And you can borrow
money to buy up to 3 new tiles if their total value is less than $1000 or as much as you need
on one tile. (nye- if you make $301 this
turn you can pay off your debt and be eligible to bid on tiles with a government loan)

NO CHANGE TO THE BASE RATE, BUT WE INCLUDE THE PRODUCTION OF UNOWNED TILES IN THE CITY SUPPLY.

We eliminate local vassals, leaving the only source of labor pop from cities and vassals
bought from auctions.

I'm sorry but your grassland's shield resource disappeared. It appeared on another grassland somewhere else.

Actually, I got you and Apocalypse mixed up when I added his entry so it should be back to normal.

Ok . Still 2.1.1, then .

Just to check -- you said 'new players can borrow money from the gov't for bidding on land' in the rules. I'm assuming this applies to old players as well (as it did in the past)? Normal limit of $1000?

Yes it should be up there with the auction area. $1000 for multiple tiles up to 3, no limit if its used on only 1 tile.

Right now they are most useful for labor markets that are small or very competitive. If you simply want to build a building don't buy vassals. If you are going to do resource conversion you might but 2.

-how much should i pay?

Depends on what you are using them for. Labor can run as high as $100 a turn. But vassals cost 1/2 the selling price of food per turn.

-what buildings do you suggest?

BREWERY. Right now if you are the ONLY Brewery in a market you will get 100% of the money no matter how much you sell. In BHQ with a demand of 12 if I sell 6 ale I will get 12/6 or $200 x 6 = $1200. If I sell 2 I will get 12/2 or $600 x 2 = $1200. As long as you are the ONLY Brewery in that city's radius you are in the money. Now when we have wine that can be sold in any market it may not be so easy.

However, on that one tile of yours that has three radii touching it I would build a Brewery or a Racetrack. We have three people who own horses now.

-where should i out them

Timeline and Gaia do not have Breweries yet and their market is 14 (or $1400 a turn).

-could you list my land properties?

I will later, I have to go run an errand right now.

Seriously people, why you haven't been building Breweries I don't know.

Ghengis, there seems to be a small problem with the math from turn 10. My reckoning from your posted results.

$775 end of turn 9

390 5 food @ 78
195 5 food bonus
132 2 shield @ 66
218 2 Horse @ 109 to players
84 1 commerce
42 1 commerce bonus
-----
$1061 Total income turn 10

$1836 Balance forward

Your post shows me as income of $606 and balance forward of $1381. Should it be $1836 or $1381? Where is the difference?

[Apocalypse]

Any suggestions on what I should do?

[notyoueither]

Apoc. Sell your 2 food and 2 commerce. Min $1 each.

That will get you some cash. Once you have some cash you can plan on buying shields and hiring labour to build improvements.

[notyoueither]

I will buy 1 of your food and 1 of your commerce for D:S + $10 if you wish to earn a small premium.

I can sell them through my buildings for a slightly larger premium.

/Edit. I can take both commerce.

[notyoueither]

Ghengis. I was looking at I, G, and F. Can we reach an arrangement?
