Reign of Masuro II

[joncnunn]

I'm not sure how many turns is left in Masuro reign, but yes, we're just waiting for the peace deal with Matsunaga to expire.

The only defensive unit that's worth building after the first era is Monks.

Sam Archers are currently the best offensive unit and it's very worthwhile to upgrade Stone Crossbow to them. Don't forget the range 1 bombard for a damaged one in a stack.

Sam Warrior 7/7/1 will be the next avaiable best offensive unit. Bushi built for garrision duty can be upgraded to them.

Shortly there after the Sam Mounted Warrior and Sam Horse Archer become adviable.

There's also a throw away dirt cheap unit adviable right before Ninjas that requires jade that upgrade to Ninjas.

Very well. I will delay starting a fight with the Matsunaga until the peace deal is up.

Noriko's Seaview is now working on barracks. That city's borders seem to have expanded and now we own the sake.

Tottori finished a temple and is now working on a marketplace.

The Tokugawa have also started to cross our lands though I'm not sure why. They don't seem to be in a war with anyone. Wanderlust?

There are a few turns left to our peace treaty with the Matsunaga.

Here's the save.

Here's my comments:

1. The science tweaker can be tweaked down form 70% to 40% while still finishing researching the current tech next turn. (Before city micromanagement)

2. Our ratio of unit builds to non-unit builds is way too low for the DG level.
More over archives and temples are close to worthless in this conquest on this level.

A. The Gehiska House acts as a factory and makes two citizens content.

B. Our territory is way too small on this level to ever be a major science power.

C. We need to upgrade our units and also build many more of them to raize opposing cities to the ground and replace with our own.

3. The Tokugawa are not currently within our cultural boundary, they are just outside it. The formution I see does not appear to be a war making formation, but appears to be typical of the ones observed when an AI has city on both sides of your lands on a given landmass.

Still, do not leave a city within 6 tiles of a monk totally empty.
