The Sword of the Shogun Gunner

[Andydog]

My Diamyo wouldn't have been out wandering your borderlands if I'd known his importance.

Tell you what.

I'll go back several turns in the easygoing game if you replay the turn in this game.

[Paddy]

ok, a suggestion that you may find acceptable

at this time we all have approx 3 - 5 towns / settlers
along with that several swordsmen and a worker or two

my suggestion is that we restart, yet we all get the following worker pack:

5 settlers
4 workers
4 swordsmen
embassies
500 gold
two cans of coke
a large bootle of rum
6 dancing girls...

this way we are well on our way to getting back on track etc

yes indeed

and thus we would not know what each other is upto at this time etc...

thus the restart

and thus the starter pack to get the game hooting along quickly

[Andydog]

What's wrong with just replaying the turn?

[Shogun Gunner]

I agree with Paddy. Either a restart or continue from where we are. Your Diamyo has been scouting, busting huts, etc. where ours were not.

You are very likely to have much more land explored, first to huts, an advantage of terrain which leads to knowledge directing your settlement patterns, unit experience (battles with barbs), gold, and maybe even science.

[Paddy]

well you get the advantage of having all that scouting done, and when your scout / diamyo dies you get the turn replayed

so with a restart with a starter pack, each team is quickly up to speed and you (hehe) do not have all that intel that others who protected their Diamyo do not have

[Andydog]

I see where you're coming from.

hmmm. not sure. let me think about it.

[Paddy]

hehe

looks like Gunner and I colluded with our posts... did not happen, but it is all good

hope you get an answer soon, and we can get a new start happening

Agreed.

is there somebody to set the scenario, start locations up?

[Paddy]

ok, restarted

with a starter pack

redistributed all resources, goodie huts, start locations and bonus grasslands


I have no idea where things are this way either

we have the same play order... just starting over

so Shogun Gunner II, to Andy, Jan 1450 AD.SAV

[Mickeyj]

So start location are random with the starter pack?

[Paddy]

yes they are indeed

hehe, adds to the flavour

not that hsitorical locations really had any bearing with so so many clans etc

[Paddy]

ohhh have I screwed up

on reading through the thread I thought that:

Shogun was for a restart, not going back a turn
MickeyJ had agreed with a restart
Andy would go with the majority
and I wanted a restart, not going back a turn

please advise?

[Shogun Gunner]

Restart is fine with me...but we are starting with a "worker pact"?

Why not start as the scenario is laid out? To get the game going faster?

[Paddy]

worker pact? sorry I do not understand


and would you prefer the civs are in the traditional placements?
