Reign of Daimyo Nunn

Looks like we have our hands full already with financial problems. I am glad that you started.

Why are we paying 1 gpt? Just asking.

Simple: The AI valued the Iron Working as being worth 1 GPT + 1 gold more than Pottery. Considering that the reason is probably that they had started resarching Pottery, I made the trade then so we'd get Iron Working at a resonable price.

The full details

Start the game as a random civ:

Turn 0:
We are the Miyoshi.
Shift us one tile SE off the grassland shield and onto the plains.
Worker roads inplace.
Explore with Ashiguru and Daimyo

Turn 1:
Rename the Ahiguru to Padme
Rename the Daimyo to Jon Miyoshi Nunn
Found Bull Wheat, starts an Ashiguru, and starts working the cow
More exploring

Turn 2:
Exploring northwest reveals a barb hut, barbs, and a goody hut.
Exploring east reveals a barb hut, and barbs, Jon retreats safely given no barb bonus on DG level

IT: Padme on hill ambassed by barb. Padme wins flawlessly and gets promoted to Vet
Road completes
Barb moves in position to threaten workers.

Turn 3:

Worker renamed to "Paddy the Scott" moved south onto cow
Padme moves SE to protect against an unlucky RNG
Jon moves south, sees a barb and moves SW onto mountains

Turn 4:
Ahiguru completes, renamed Leia and fortifed. Start another Ahiguru
Paddy the Scott starts mining

Turn 5:
Bull Wheat grows to size 2 and starts working the roaded grassland shield. Science Slider tweaked down to 70%
exploration south shows another civs boundary, but no contact yet

Turn 6:
Ahiguru complets, renamed Shmi, and sent north. Start another Ahiguru
Discover a tribe south of us that calls themselves the Matsunaga. They have Medal Working.
Will recontact them next turn when we finish pottery.
Science tweaked down to 40%

IT:
Barbs coming too close in both east and west.

Turn 7:
Discover Pottery. Switch build to Granery. Shmi sent back south. Padme sent east.
Trade Pottery for Medal Working with Matsunaga. Costs us 1 GPT + 1 gold. Sounds fair to me given chance DG AI might already be reasearching Pottery.
Research set to Masonry. Currently at Min, losing 1 gold and we have 2 gold, but Bull Corn will grwo in two turns.

IT:
Barb moves onto mountain threatening Paddy the Scott and the City

Turn 8:
Leia attacks Barb. Dies, but reduces barb to 1/2. We are no longer running a deficit
Shmi attacks Barb. Wins flawlessly
20% luxary tax implemented with no units in cap for this turn, so deficit of -1.

Turn 9:
Bull Wheat grows to size 3 and starts working the other grassland shield [same as unimproved wheat-plains under despotism]
Shmi and Padme moved into the capital to function as MPs. Luxary tax droped. Zero cash flow at 20%. Moreover we have no cash.
Jon finishes the exploration near Matsunaga

IT:
Matsunaga culture expands
Mining of cow completes

Turn 10:
Paddy the Scott roads
Padme and Shmi fortify.
Jon starts moving back towards home.

a good and valued trade

and hopefully a good neighbour to develop
