Reign of Masuro

Both this site and the grassland one were three tiles away and therefore 1 MP with roads connection.
The hill is fractionaly closer for ranking city purposes, that's it.

I would go with the Hill 411 from the capital (numpad directions). We will need the Grassland later on for growth. Plus, placing cities too wide is no good anyway.

I see it's one turn away from the next settler too. I'd sugest the red site. That will allow the city to evenually share the whales which the alternative [probably the incense hills] would never use.

In addition, at the red site, this city does not bump the just founded city down in the city rank. It's exactly the same distance and therefore won by the other city (square root 10). the incense hills site would because it is exactly distance 3.

Yes, but if you consider similar spacing for all cities, the fractions here and there add up, giving quite a boost in general. The point about food was just as important.

I will add something on city spacing when I get some rest, and time to start GIMP. Tired. Must sleep now.

Just noticed the worker on the furs. If it hasn't done anything, I'd sugest roading instead of the normal chop - road - mine series because in this conquest choping forests is the pre-conquests slow rate.

I'm just refering to this city is going to have a lower rank order than it would have under the orginal. Which is always a mixed bag. Potientally less corruption here than other 3 tile city sites, yes! But potinetally more in the other 3 tile city sites.

That said, I can't think of a city I'd rather give the lower corruption too than one with plains wheat + fish.

On city placement, I see one proposed city that needs shifted in light of this shiftment, but it's a second rank city and therefore not in the immedate future with all the first rank cities we can build.

I haven't played all ten turns yet. I got in late last night and just played a couple. Also, I wanted to give people time to comment on what I'd done. I will play more turns today.

10 turns....

honestle though each was only to play 5 turns....

and that Jon did 10 as opening player for some independent reason.

[marcuspeddle]

From the House of the Samurai:

"The Daimyo then goes on and plays a series of 10 turns each during the pre-daimyo era [1st], and then 5 turns during the early [2nd], late [3rd], and post [4th which is empty] "

[roadcage]

The agreement was 10 turns during the 1st era and 5 turns thereafter.

/edit/ sorry about the crosspost

Too much sake for Paddiock

[ormuzd]

I think just the opposite - no ske and only rice wine, this makes him think wrong and forget things.

You know, paddy is a different kind of samurai

[Paddy]

my error indeed -

Ormuzd is so correct, now wheres me bottle

sacred save

Here it is.

It seems I have left a city in disorder...
/me falls down to his knees in shame..
I shall walk the country barefeet and bring excuses to every single citizen myself...

I only played 5 turns. Somewhere I had that in mind. No worries, the game is at a good pace.
