	reign of Daimyo Nunn the second Suffering from ads?

Please move sugestions for this term from the previous govt thread to this one.

My first plan is to fire the entertainers and implement (or increase) the luxary tax.

My second plan is to veto the catapults and settlers in favor of other units. (Either swords or cheapest ones as MPs)

I'll keep my eye on the diplomatic front and will try to take another city or two from the Matsunaga without risking our cities falling to other players. But even if the war goes extremely well, the Matsunaga would still be left with one city so they can give us their techs.

I think it is a good idea to close one front of war and fight with only one enemy

But we are only actually fighting one enemy.

Not sure of the colors right now.

Yes. We are technically at war with two neighboring civs. I have only seen one actually one on the battlefield.

I have no intention of making offensive actions against the other civ were at war during the remaining war against the Matsunaga.

Downloaded the turn.

Changed several builds. Noticed we had Bushi being used as MP and so most of the changes are to Stone Crowbows to free up the Bushi for offensive actions.

Blocked a tile I really don't want to risk there being a landing on next turn.

I noticed that taxmen would be sufficent for happiness in two cities and one of the entertainers wasn't needed at all and so am not implementing the luxary tax.

I still need to micromanage the work force and check diplomacy for map trades. We can easily make 10 gold a turn just reselling our territory map to all players we're at peace with every turn.

Hint for next shogun: slaves work better in pairs and sets of three than all by their lonesomes. 2 slaves = 1 normal worker. 3 slaves = 1 industrious worker.

Anticipate that the Urak will invade our terriory next turn. But I think I can take the Matsunaga city our forces are next door from first. They will currently give Horse Riding + WM + all their treasury for peace. Both cities are "doughtful" = can't be done.

	Word in from Daimyo Nunn Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Highlights:

A previous player has lost our Shogun.
A previous player has spread our slaves all over roading indivudally so it will
take forever to get them back and arranged efficently.

Captured the Mastaugna city by the sea but had to abandon it the next turn.
(All 5 resitors, none converted the following turn -> extreme high risk of
cultural flip)

A gem city founded.

Aquired 6 techs. (Horseback Riding & Fedualism with GPT deals, the four entry
techs to the second era as part of a cease fire from the Mastauga.

Now in anarchy. Two turns remain in my reign.

Technically, the spereading is more efficient than teaming them together. We should make teams that follow them and improve the Roaded tiles.

Found a work around; apprently netscape at the library will display the php files. (Virtually the entire apolyton site) It's just IE at the libary that wants to save them and doesn't give the option of viewing them directly. I don't experence this problem on my own notebook.

Nothing of major interest occured the last two turns.

Save and map to follow Sunday.

Modo44, most of the tiles being roaded are extreme low priority to be worked. (Hills with no bonus)

We can't build a replacement shogun.

I have several workers actively roading the gems on mountain.

I''m nowhere near completing the relocating of our forces west to fight the Urak. They will now sign a striaght peace deal, but won't yet relinigh any techs. They have one of the two closest sources of horses. The Oda have the other in their city that's cut off from the rest of their empire.

All the city builds need looked at in light that I didn't feel like changing them given that I drew seven turns anarchy from the revolution the same turn we aquired 5 techs. (Fedualism in a GPT deal, all four entry second level techs from the Matsunaga in exchange for a 20 turn ceasefire.) They also handed over their map, it was about 20 gold short of the best known map and so directly only neted 30 gold, but buying everyone who had better maps and reselling that afterwords neted another 60 gold that turn. Another 20 something gold was made on map sales the last two turns of my reign. In contrast, I only got about 20 gold reselling our territory map to everyone willing to pay for it each turn in the first 4 turns of my reign.

Long term:

Pure science structures : useless. We'll be buying techs and using the pointy stick to aquire them the rest of the game.

The only reason we aren't going to lose the race to Alpha Centari is that space ship victory is diabled.

There's nothing we can do if the AI actually decides to hold a vote for War Council. We can only hope the AIs get into wars with lots of civs.

Stone Crossbows are probably the only unit really worth building at the moment. Mostly because they can be upgraded when we aquire the "way of the bow" tech which we have the prereq for.

	Suffering from ads?

The next person should probably also change the Temple build in the capital to something more useful, maybe that building that acts like a factory? (Other choice that looks worthwhile is a settler)

And note that as long as our culture is virtually non existant, we have no choice but to raize any cities we capture and replace. Resistors can't be starved.

Detailed report of reign + save

Jan 1487:

Buy Horsebacking for our WM + 6 GPT from Imagawa with refund of 1 gold

There are no horses within our boundary.
Closest sources:
1. NE of Gifu (Oda)
2. 2 Tiles SE of Kurayoshi (Urakami)

Matsunaga will surrender Fedualism and their entire treasury for peace.

IT : Two Matsunaga units sucide attacking us.

Several tribes start construction of war council.

July 1487
Our army is redlined down to 1 HP killing two Yomburskis
Our Bushi kills a Stone Crossbow, but at least 1 Stone Crossbow remains
The landed troop killed

IT : Urakesi unit sucides attacking our Bushi

Another civ starts constructing war council

Jan 1488

Kill two Matsunaga Stone Crossbows and capture Kishiwada. All 5 citizens are resistors! Settler inside converted to 2 slaves

Since Matsunaga have at least one post Fedualism tech, decline to make peace and will instead try to capture their capital.

IT : The Tokeda complete the War Council.

July 1488 Attack Uraeki warrior-settler pair, gaining two slaves

Considering that none of the resitors have come out of resistance in Kishiwada and their capital is nearby and has 3 tile radius influence, consider it too much of a flip risk and abandon the city to avoid giving the AI free units.

IT : Fur connected

Jan 1489

Found Gems R Us (2-2-1 capital)

Kill Matsunaga Asagro near Gems R Us (Stone Crossbow remains)

Oda Samarri Archer spotted, we are way behind in techs.

Buy Fedualism from Mori for 8 GPT + 64 gold

Sign twenty turn cease fire with Matsunaga for all four entry second level techs + their WM + all their gold.
Too good a deal to pass up.

No one has established any embassies with us.
Their WM is virutally ALL of Japan.
Most civs already have the entire map, so we only get 30 gold reselling it.
Over half the civs have all four second level techs. Those missing some have nothing to offer. Of note though, even are even with the Matsunaga, so this was an ideal time.

Will start deploying for attacks on Urakami who we are still at war with next turn. They are one of the civs with all four techs we lack, and so if we hurt them bad enough, we can get a lot of techs from them.


Going into anarchy. We draw a 7 turn anarchy.
Micro Manage for anarchy with lots of GPT payments. (Lots of taxmen, basically every city that's pop 2+ gets at least one.)

Make a lot of money buying everyone's world maps and reselling them. (We now have 100 gold with a -3 deficit)

IT: Urakesi move two units to our borders, one threatens exposed slaves

July 1489

Attack and kill Samuri Archer with Bushi
Army + Bushi defend exposed slaves

Make 10 gold buying and selling WMs

Uraeki now willing to sign straight peace. Literature is doughtful. All other techs insult. Not good enough.

IT:
Uraeki crosses units into our lands
Matsunaga send settler pair into netural territory

Jan 1490

Army kills Uraeksi Samuri Archer
Bushi kills Uraeksi Araiko

"Way of the Bow" & Literature now doughtful.

The oldest GPT payment expired, and so fired taxmen in size 2 cities that wouldn't grow next turn to store up food

13 gold made buying and selling WMs
