    No game plan just yet

    I want to take a closeer look at our neighbor to our south as our ongoing victim until removed from play. I need to to look at the other borders and forces to see/ guess if this is a good move.

    If not maybee something as simple as 5 turns of building
    offensive units and infrastructure

    now about those workers...need to look at them as well

    Will report back shortly

    I say fill the Army with Samurai Archers, and have Some FUN.

    When there are no units left in the last Matsunaga city, sign peace for every tech and all Gold they have, then finish them by capturing that city. Yes, I know it would be a reputation hit. But, seriously, does it matter now? We are going to be bonking heads for the rest of the game anyway...
    Seriously. Kung freaking fu.

    A Samurai Archer Army is a good idea. Some butt kicking power.

    I hope you are not suggesting putting Grandmasters in the Army, except for those who provided us with Leaders...

    No, there isn't. It was only possible in Civ3 Vanilla, and was considered a bug. Too bad, one should not be wasting Elites this way, not those that could still provide Leaders.

    Something is very suspicious here. I believe I was the last player and the only army we had was a 13 hp bushi Army healing in Wakayama expected to be full strength next turn.

    I doublechecked by re-opening my final save and the army status was as listed above.

    So where did this empty Army come from?
    I used to be a builder. That was before I played Civ III

    Viewing the Unit screen, it showed it as empty

    Hence why I made the call to Heroic Epic

    Minor correction, where there is 1 unit left in their capital you can try to get techs. When there are 0 left, you immedately capture (or raize) the city.

    On the reduced chance of leaders due to Grandmasters in armies, part of us is they weren't grandmasters when they were placed in them to begin with but got a promotion.

    The other important note is that we might not have enough cities yet for a 3rd army anyway.

    Have we built the shrine small wonder yet? If not, Norkio's seaview would be a great location.

    Turn 5

    General

    I had picked Iajutsu for the next advance
    Heroic Epic in 3
    Rushed walls in Gobo (39 gold)
    Matsunaga has a small galley force (6 see screenie)
    (trying to drop off haarassing forces[green dots)

    Actions

    built Tsu as pointed out on last screenie
    Catapults are missing something feirce
    Moving in more archers to help attack

    Recommend

    Start a rotating build on Spearman (7 defense )
    New leader start a poll on the next small wonder
    Next leader look into the diplo screen, to hard to try all the screenies
    Unhappiness is slowing starting to show, rotating happiness builds
    so......

    1/3 Offense 1/3 defense 1/3 happiness

    Its been fun on the front line, save to follow
