Reign of Modo

[planet]

Very nice.

[Modo44]

Since there were objections to settling far away, I put a city closer to the capital (at Noriko's Seaview 88). This one will allow us to connect all cities to the network without building Roads on Hills.

Met the Saito people, and got a Slave for techs. Talked to the Urukami again, gaining lots of gold for a tech (to allow research at a net loss).

Used the upgraded Daimyo Guard to make two Slaves, killing one Matsunaga Asigaru. War.


Next turn, killed another Matsunaga Ashigaru, ang got two more Slaves. Too bad the Daimyo unit was not promoted.

Two Granaries were finished, and those cities told to do Crossbow units, in case the Matsunaga have an army to send to us...

Bought another Slave from the Urukami.

100 Gold, -2gpt, The Wheel in 2.


I think we still have a shot at one city to the far north, with the Settler currently being prepared in the capital. The capital needs to be MM-ed to keep growing every second turn, by the way (and will need MM to keep growing each turn once the Irrigation is put on both food bonuses). The northernmost Ashigaru unit is supposed to keep walking north, in search of contacts. It is advisable to send another one to the west.


The save is attached below.

Thank you for your valued service for our great and mighty clan

Word has been dispatched to Platypus Rex for the continuation of the line.

Perhaps it is on Regent. The thing is, we are playing this on Demigod. The AI outproduces us by far, and gets free units with every city it builds. So my humble opinion is, we should take away as much land as possible by peaceful means, then gear up for war, and then start killing the neighbours one by one.

Your attempt at insulting me by refering to regent is completly uninformed, as is your perception of free unit support. Nowhere does it say that the AI receives X number of free unit support per city. It is simply that they recieve x number of units with free support no matter how many cities they posses.

Build up a core (capital + 1 ring of cities) then march... as i see you are doing anyway.

Crap, I knew I should have added the sarcasm flag for you.

Oh, but they still have the production advantage, do they not? You know, the one allowing them to make many more units than we can?

I wanted to do more peaceful building. And I would have, if it was not a demogame.

Regicide is off, there's no city elimination mode either, so the AI shouldn't get an extra defender in a new city.

However the AI does have the normal DG extra support, both a constant and a per city.

Nice work.
