Sengoku Jidai

[DarthVeda]

Since we seem to be showcasing the scenarios...

THE MANUAL CAN BE ACCESSED VIA THIS LINK:

http://darthveda.tripod.com/sengoku/

It contains information about all seven equally playable sides, maps, and unit information and tips.

Btw I am interested in a PBEM of my scenario, but I'd be a 100% newbie to the PBEM thing so you'd have to be patient with me

[DarthVeda]

Early in the campaign... the Shimazu Daimyo and two Archers move onto the plains of battle to take an Imagawa city.

[DarthVeda]

The Daimyo joins the attack on the imperial city of Yamashiro. The Shimazu are ready to lay claim to several important wonders in the city.

[DarthVeda]

The Imagawa Daimyo was finally hunted down and slain. His army fetches a large bounty from his enemies.

[DarthVeda]

The great Shimazu rise to power is completed with the taking of the island province of Sado.

I've uploaded your patched version to SLeague.

YES!! YES!!! PBEM!!!

*Calms self down*

Why, Darth Veda, what an intruiging proposal. I shall have to consider that particular propostion...

[DarthVeda]

I am currently considering another patch to the game to address the only thing I'm worried about: the overwhelming power of the Daimyo. If you lose him you're pretty much screwed in the early game, but I don't want to weaken him so much that you can't carve an empire in the beginning using him.

I was thinking about adding one or two units to the early game or after the death of the Daimyo. I'll come up with something by this weekend.

[DarthVeda]

ooh. I've come up with a way to get a deceased Daimyo back without allowing the player to get multiple Daimyo. But that will remain a secret until the next patch...

[El León]

Hey Veda - while we're at it, other than the Daimyo being very easy to bribe, I think the message about the Daimyo being slain only appears for the first one killed (must be one of those "anyone" triggers).

[DarthVeda]

I'll see what I can do. Sometimes in MGE I think if a unit dies in a stack, they don't get registered. I'll do some testing

[DarthVeda]

Oh also, there is a PBEM signup underway for everybody who doesn't already know:

I'm also going to have yet another patch available this evening to fix some issues and spruce up the game some.

[DarthVeda]

Hey León thanks... you helped me figure out a major bug. I fixed it so now I'm playtesting.

UPDATE: Ok, here's the deal. "Anybody" only works once no matter what field it's in. This is ok for the Daimyo.

However, for the individual units, it's going to come to 'first-come-first serve' in getting 'defeated' technologies (pre-requisites for the next level advance).

I wish I could completely fix this but it's come down to a question of events space (really wish I had that ToT 100k)

Anyway, the first civ to kill a type of unit will get the 'death' technology. Everybody else will get nothing when they attack a new type of unit. Simple solution? Attack anything shiny looking.

I'll come up with sometime inbetween...

[DarthVeda]

OK HERE IS THE STORY:

With 484 bytes remaining, I eeked in enough code so that every player would have access to the second-level of the tech tree through death prerequisites.

However, when it comes to third tier technologies, it's every player for him/herself.

To do this, I had to eliminate everything having to do with the death of a Daimyo.

Sorry, no more free cash from the death of a Daimyo.
