M2 Test Imperial Orders Thread

[econ21]

...I could see the benefit of adding another column that just says "Last Turns Expenditures" with a total of that player's spent florins from the last turn.

Good idea and to make it easy, I suggest that in our orders phase, we each detail our proposed expenditures and provide the total to save you some work (and allow double checking for errors).

Also, Lucjan, it might be good if you posted in bold caps:

TURN 2 ORDERS PHASE STARTS

and then 48 hours make another post later:

TURN 2 ORDERS PHASE ENDS

Each Duke should only make one post between your bookend posts, but we could edit them to revise them. Once you have closed the orders phase, then we are not allowed to edit our post (orders) anymore. Doing it this way might keep things tidy and easy to manage.

Tamur: on the knights you wanted, I suggested that we formalise contracts in the orders phase. So you could type something like:

"Contract Vienna 1: Duke Leopold offers Duke Otto X florins for one unit of mailed knights, to be trained immediately."

And I would reply

"Contract Vienna 1: accepted."

And at the same time, I would give orders for the unit to be training.

That way, it's all in black and white for everyone to see.

As for what X is, I suggest purchase price 680 + 25% = 850

Sorry I did not do this last turn - I did ask you to formalise it and then you said something about mounted knights being no good defending in a siege. If it is the dismounted knights you want - which I agree are a more useful unit - they will require a castle be built in Innsbruck first.

We really should start putting posts like this one of mine in the OOC thread and devoting this thread only to orders.
