The Sengoku Jidai - a 1550 Japan IH

[Barry Goldwater]

Two new traits added, Hard Drinker (under Influence, pun intended ) and Teetotal (under Administration). If you guys have any suggestions for new Traits, just PM me

Also, Fred has joined as the Miyoshi clan. Will get his info up shortly.

[Barry Goldwater]

Miyoshi info up

[Darth Roxas]

And now we have Fred controlling the Shogun? This will be errmmm........interesting.....

[Watercress]

Welcome to Commie Japan, guys

[Dave Strider]

Indeed

[Barry Goldwater]

Changed teppo rule, now you can hire 4 Teppo Ashigaru/Teppo to make this stuff cost-effective, plus it'd be ridiculous to have to pay 20% for what amounts to a 4% unit.

However, I have bumped up the Teppo Ashigaru price from 4 to 5%.

[Xion]

So I can hire 3 more teppo ashigaru with my starting 1 teppo? I'm doing that if that's what it means...also makes it more interesting as I could simply arm myself with mass teppo and Nagae-Yari Pikemen( which should be a unit, slightly better than Yari Ashigaru but cost 6% and take 4 days to train) and fight in the pike and shot style of Europe..I'll justify it by having a Dutch tactical advisor.

[Dave Strider]

Just don't come crying to me when your men all die from my samurai

[Darth Roxas]

It will be a shame if my ninja set alight your gunpowder..........

[Dave Strider]

What gunpowder?

[Darth Roxas]

Wrong Era.....

[Xion]

I presume the gunpowder stores for my teppo, or my factories for teppo creation. Hm..why is there no artillery section of military units? It'd be a shame for you guys to lose your generals to my cannons when you try to challenge my guys to a duel. Also..I may eventually want a Teppo Kaichi unit( Retinue Arquebusier)..sorry I've been playing Ran no Jidai lately and got the idea from there.

Hm..or I could use extra gunpowder as mines to blow up your castles..

Yep, you can now hire more Teppo Ashigaru if you want.

EDIT: Forgot the awesome that is cannon. Added Tetsuho unit, check under military rules.

Are all the white regions on the map up for grabs?

[Barry Goldwater]

The blank ones can be grabbed, yep. However, they are defended by NPC clans you should prolly negotiate first before murderizing.

Deadline for turn 1 set at Friday

[Barry Goldwater]

Natural Leader/Naturally Bad Leader (Command), Tax Farmer/Lenient Tax Official (Management) and Pious/Sacrilegious (Influence) traits added on the suggestion of Dan the Man.

[Dan the Man]

Pious/Sacrilegious were meant to go with Loyalty, but Influence works just as well if you want it that way.

[Barry Goldwater]

I thought they'd go better with Influence, since being religious/irreligious probably won't prevent you from liking your boss/hating your boss's guts

[Watercress]

Ah crap. Anyway barry, when will the battle of Yamato Province occur?
