Also, let's say on a theoretical turn one, I produce spears and shields. Which of the following timelines is accurate?

A_
1, shields/spears produced, soldiers produced, soldiers are usable and go exploring

B_
1, shields/spears produced
2, soldiers produced, soldiers are usable and go exploring

C_
1, shields/spears produced
2, soldiers produced
3, soldiers are usable and go exploring

I'm thinking B, myself?

[Strife26]

B would make sense to me as well.

And the zefies will offer aid to any attacked country, so be warned.

[Pandarsenic]

Seriously, if I can figure out stone weapons, I'm gonna screw the goblins over so hard if they fuck with me. XD

[Vanigo]

Hey, can I research weapon/armor upgrades or whatever at my Alchemists Lab? For instance, can I change my turn and be like, "Roawr, I research chemicals to coat the spears so they cause hideous burns to flesh on contact!" (read: ACID SPEARS!) or "Roawr, I research hallucinogens to coat my spears with so if someone gets injured by them, they start trippin' balls!" or something like that?

Or alchemical treatments to make my wooden weapons better/stronger/sharper? Or steroids for my warhorses?

Oh, please do. I'd love to see some more input about what kinds of crazy directions people want to take their technology. (With a de-emphasis on the crazy part - don't go completely nuts, okay?) That goes for everyone, by the way!

As for the unit production timeline, it's actually more like:
1: shields/spears produced, soldiers produced
2: soldiers are usable and go exploring

Only makes a difference if you're attacked on turn 1.

Oh, and speaking of attacks, looking at the battle about to take place has brought me to the conclusion that taking a whole turn to reach another player's city and attacking at the end of the next is just too slow; it gives the defender too big an advantage. I'm changing the rules so that, if there's PVP combat going on, a combat sub-turn occurs after the main turn, and combatants need to post their orders before the next turn starts.

Leather-and-wool spaceships are still go, though, right?

[Strife26]

Wool mining equipment?

[Pandarsenic]

Wool mining equipment?

Can... can I do this with Alchemy, Vanigo?

[Nirur Torir]

Pandarsenic does not have that many forces.

Nevermind. Military workshops cost 2 labor, not 4. His previous turn listed it as half done.

[mainiac]

How hard is it to start a colony?  Can I load some people up my ship, sail southeast as start a new city?

[Nirur Torir]

You need some sort of advanced administration technology first.

[Strife26]

How does colonization work? Now that I've been hit with premature overcrowding.
I get the population growth dock from the morale drop and an additional penalty? I need to start a new city quickly.

[Pandarsenic]

Before I choose my research (I'm thinking of researching Ancient Tyrgani military tactics to try to pick up the phalanx) I need to know:
1) Turn 7.5 results
2) What I have to do to reap my benefit from the obsidian?

[Strife26]

And how does building mines work?

[Nirur Torir]

Hmm. For future combat rounds, could we just PM the combat plans to Vanigo and post them after the round is resolved? For example, if player A decides to pillage improvements and player B decides to defend his town, B should still get to defend his improvements, but his forces would be at a disadvantage. If B decided to defend his town and A decided to retreat, B probably wouldn't be able to catch A.

It seems a bit strange for the late poster react to the first poster's action, and might delay future combat rounds if both players decide to wait and get the advantage. If the first player gets to react to the second player's action, then it just gets silly.

Agreed. Also, something just exploded in Turn 7, check the thread for details.
