I will wait this morning to afternoon to hear from the governors for their input so you can weigh that in your decision. We have 4 units in Stirling right now regarding an escort plus some in each city which should be visible on the city screens of page 1.

I'm of course, very much in support of a settler. I've got another unit being produced in Glasgow, so we can send him or send one of our Edinburgh units. Not a big deal.

A settler sounds like a good idea to me too.

That's good enough for me. Edinburgh will produce a settler and we'll send one of our existing military units with him as an escort. Who is next up for governorship and do we have any idea where we're sending these brave adventurers?

I will make an administrative decision to put ntndeacon next for a governorship of a city. HE has earned it.

A great naval General has stood apart in a far away land:
Isoroku Yamamoto (Japanese: 山本五十六, Yamamoto Isoroku?) (400 BC- ) is a Fleet Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the first four years of the war, graduate of Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. Yamamoto is considered to be one of the Imperial Japanese Navy's most talented and most influential naval strategists and tacticians and is highly respected in Japan, and to a lesser extent, the Scottish Empire for both tactical prowess and for preventing his men from committing war crimes. He holds several important posts in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes, CB (pronounced "canes", IPA /keɪnz/) (390BC-) is a British economist whose ideas, called Keynesian economics, have had a major impact on modern economic and political theory as well as on many governments' fiscal policies. He is particularly involved in advocating interventionist government policy, by which the government would use fiscal and monetary measures to mitigate the adverse effects of economic recessions, depressions and booms. Economists consider him one of the main founders of modern theoretical macroeconomics. His popular expression "In the long run, we are all dead" is still quoted.

If another governor supports me, I'd like to build another settler for city #5. If there's no support for that action, then granary.

Should we wait until city #4 has been established before we start building settler #5? Do we even have proposed locations for these new cities yet?

Also, if this isn't already being done the worker(s) near Edinburgh should immediately focus efforts to bringing the iron into our empire. The Scottish military will be a force to be feared! We're going to need the strength as our foreign embassaries' Scottish accents are misconstrued as insults or declarations of war.

I did not know this, although it makes sense, since the hypaspist spent all his time training for city attack, the city garrison upgrade is not availlable to him. Please choose a different upgrade ASAP.

A great prophet has begun to garner attention in a far away land:
Anacharsis "He marvelled that among the Greeks, those who were skillful in a thing vie in competition; those who have no skill, judge" —Diogenes Laertius, of Anacharsis. Anacharsis is a Scythian philosopher who travelled from his homeland on the northern shores of the Black Sea to Athens in early 3rd century BCE and made a great impression as a forthright, outspoken "barbarian," apparently a forerunner of the Skeptics and Cynics. Anacharsis is half Greek and the son of a Scythian chief, from a mixed Hellenistic culture, apparently in the region of the Cimmerian Bosporus. He cultivated the outsider's knack of seeing the illogic in familiar things. His conversations are droll and frank, and Solon and the Athenians sees him as a natural philosopher. His rough and free discourse is proverbial among Athenians as 'Scythian discourse'. Arriving in Athens about 380 BCE, he came to the house of Solon the philosopher and lawgiver, and told Solon's slave that Anacharsis was come to visit, desired to see Solon, and wanted to enter into hospitable relations. The servant returned with Solon's quintessentially Greek answer, "Men generally limit such hospitality to their own countrymen." Thereupon the Scythian stepped significantly across the threshold, and said that, now that he was in Solon's country, it would be quite suitable. Anacharsis is the first stranger to receive the privileges of Athenian citizenship. He is reckoned one of the Seven Sages of Athens, and it is said that he was initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries of the Great Goddess, a privilege denied to those who did not speak fluent Greek. His book paralleling the laws of the Scythians with the laws of the Greeks is very popular. It was he who compared laws to spiders' webs, which catch small flies and allow wasps and hornets to escape. He exhorts moderation in everything, saying that the vine bears three clusters of grapes: the first wine, pleasure; the second, drunkenness, the third, disgust. So he has become a kind of emblem to the Athenians, who inscribe on his monuments: 'Restrain your tongues, your appetites, your passions.'

Edinburgh has graduated NTNdeacon's settler. CW, will need to give ntndeacon an escort or two:
CW military units and locations are as follows: Edinburgh: 1 Archer, 2 Warriors Glasgow: 1 Hypaspist, 1 Warrior Stirling: 3 Archers, 1 warrior Here are your views to determine a suitable location (this decision resides with NTNdeacon), I can use general directions to determine the starting direction to head but as we get closer we will need to zoom in and get very very very specific as to the tile to begin on: Northerly view Easterly view: South-Easterly view:

1) Send a warrior from Edinburgh to escort.
2) I say we push that settler due south of Edinburgh on the coast, just south of that mineral depost. It seals off our border that way, and we need some coastal cities. Which leads me to the NEXT settler, which I say we place in the north coast on the river, due NW from those sheep. |

Let's do a hypaspist. After that if we have less than 4 workers create 1 more. If not then another settler.

you have 2 workers, Glasgow has one, and Stirling has one. Hypaspist it is. I will push us forward this evening. I harken back to how lucky we are to even exist. When those barbarians were beating our doors in, and burning our mines and fields, I thought the Scottish empire was doomed, but CW has led us to some great victories and I am glad we can continue on in the Scottish tradition.

Youve completed the walls in Stirling, congratulations. What would you like to begin working on now? Temple of Artemis 77 Rance 23 (+1 health, +5% food prod. w/ Cow, deer, pig, sheep) Statue of Zeus 77 Mausoleum of Halicarnassus 77 Ntndeacon, as we get closer to the southern edges of the Scottish empire some of the people in your settlement group have brought to you suggestions as to where they think that you should plant root. Where do you want your city to be?

A great merchant has been spotted in Edinburgh. Do you have any special uses for him? Also: The group you have going south to start a new city cannot settle where you first determined as it is simply too close to a Ukrainian city (the game wont allow it there). Where to now sir?

I rather go long term with the merchant and put him in a city that has the largest amount of money made per turn. Or use him for tech.

Send him to the farthest city he can find for a one time gold boost, save him for the possibility of spawning a great era for 10 turns or so, create a specialized merchant in one of the cities thereby accentuating some production, use him to help the scientists advance their studies of a science (i can get you better detail about which one when I get back this afternoon) Will move your settler accordingly.

to be more specific, by adding Mr. Firestone to Edinburgh, where he would set up Firestone Corp you would increase the city's food prod +1 and gold prod +6. I wanted to clarify that this is what you want based on the more specific info. please advise.
