Sengoku - Sword of the Shogun (SP)

[Ginger_Ale]

Alright, while waiting for my PBEM, I started a SP game in the Sengoku Conquest as the Takeda on Emperor...I'll post some screenies and updates here when I get a chance. [goodjob] As I pacifist, I'll be heading for a diplo victory.

Continuing my peaceful expansion, I chose the peaceful set of techs, and have traded to stay even / in the lead of techs, and I grabbed 2 slaves from the AI via trades. :D Attached is my picture of my empire. Now is the time where you can go "Good job GA!" [:p]

Good job GA! [:p]

On a more serious note, your land looks tough with all those mountains and hills. Do you have any horses nearby?

[Pastorius]

I agree to that. In my regent games on this, Takeda sees himself being marginalized quite fast. In my monarch attempt, Tokugawa grew huge and absorbed everyone, and screwed me on the war council.

For a start in that area, I think Hojo has better expansion room....

@anarres: thanks. I'm doing actually quite well - I got five, nicely spaced cities, 4 or 5 luxuries (without trading), and yes, there are horses connected. :) I'll get you an updated screenie when I come home from school. I'm 3 techs away from the "War Council", so I started a prebuild, should be fairly easy.

@Paal: Hojo are the 2nd best (to me of course :D) - they have very good terrain, almost all bonus grassland, forests, and rivers. I'm probably, since I'm in the pretty good lead for techs, going to sell techs to all the AIs to boost my rep...I haven't declared war, so I'm happy.

I also downloaded "CivAssist" from ainwood at CFC - it's a marvelous tool! Now, instead of doing diplomacy each turn, I look in that thing, and it'll tell me if any cities are about to riot, what trades are available, how many beakers I'm wasting doing tech research - I'll get a screenshot of it as well when I load the game up later today.

Here's some screenies: the best thing about this is you can look and analyze your game without having civ open! :)

And the trading screen (the most useful in my opinion)

Just come home from work and I see you have finished the game already. What year did u pull this off?

Holy ...

And this is the guy I am playing pbem against...

dude

too bad civ assist does not work with mp games - I asked Ainwood that the other day

[Ginger_Ale]

Thanks Paal. :) Don't worry, I'm not too good of a player on random maps...this one was easy after my expansion. Hehe. :) I pulled it off in April, 1514 AD...I'm not sure what turn it is, but if I remember correctly (from CivAssist), it says it was turn 130 or something.
