Lord Platypi II, how may we serve?

Great Thread Daimyo Platypi![]()

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

We are at war with Matsunaga, are other neighbors are disdainfull towrds us
We do have 1 empty army
2 catapults
I will leave all the workers alone unitl their task is complete
Oda and another Civ are in our boundries..

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.
13 hit point Samurai Army of the Clan, let the world tremble.

Will play the first turn or two this Saturday
TO DO LIST:
Build Archer Army
Was able to play one turn this morning before bed
Turn 1
Will take up to turn 4 to fill army, two grandmasters all ready in the army
The screen shot earlier was OUR Stack.....sorry, now minus a few due to attacking the city. Moved two cats to help out
BUILDS
Grainery at Hiyoshi Stronghold
Walls at Wakayana
Heroic Epic at Bull Wheat (6 turns)
all other new builds offensive units, mainly archers
Action/Results
Captured 1 Matsunaga Worker
Pillaged mines around Osaka
Questions
Upgrade crossbows to siege crossbows
Use Matsunage workers to increase city size at Suzuka (x2)
Settler ... what to do with him ?

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

they were all ready in , not by me
is there a way to remove them and not disband ?

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.Originally posted by Platypus Rex

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
but ast the city level with only two grandmasters
Hence why I made the call to Heroic Epic
will be playing Turn 2 shortly

You do good work Daimyo Paltypi

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.
1st C3DG Term 7 Science Advisor 1st C3DG Term 8 Domestic Minister
Templar Science Minister
AI: I sure wish Jon would hurry up and complete his turn, he's been at it for over 1,200,000 milliseconds now. :mad:

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
