The Sword of the Shogun Gunner

[Shogun Gunner]

Originally posted by Paddy the Scot

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

I said starter pact, but meant worker pack identified in this post. Are we restarting this way?

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

no, random is good.

yeah

actually:
7 settlers
6 workers
5 swordsmen

that will allow plenty of configurations etc to get the civs upto speed very quickly

and the save was sent to Andy 1.5 hours ago

now why does that make me paranoid

Off to shogun.

Are there a few problems with this game?

First of all, I can see the starting positions of the other clans.

Second, are these start positions random? Mine two starting positions are.... well, how should I say.... very interesting. Not bad, just very interesting.

Third, the diplo screen shows that we have all already met each other.

There may be other undiscovered surprises.

Is that what those things were. I had 2 dots on my minimap - it didn't occur to me that they were other start positions. Shogun could you see everyone's start position?

my start positions are.. odd

[Shogun Gunner]

That's what I saw, four dots -- a somewhat greyed out city center - not a colorful city radius. I assumed those to be start positions, but perhaps I should send all my swordsmen guys and kamaikaze daimyo over to check out the closest one

[Paddy]

the start positions are random

embassies are turned on

surely the Emperor has introduced you

July 1450ad to Andy

otherwise a it is simple to restart with standard start locations etc

[Andydog]

i'm happy to ignore the dots and continue.

remember everyone not to look at the dots!

[Paddy]

well then, what will you do when the dots pop up and say hello

[Andydog]

tell them to "shut up!! shut up all of you!!!"

[Shogun Gunner]

If you guys don't care, I don't care.

I must have missed the Emperor's phone call....

Paddy, can you resend, wasn't in my inbox this morning.
