Do we want to stick with Tokugawa when creating the game, or name our in-game ruler something else?

Tokugawa is honorable enough for me.

Definetly Tokugawa :)

well i guess its alright, i would of preferred BCLG100 or BCLG or even Tokugawa AKA bclg/bclg100 maybe we can poll it ;)

GODZILLA

seriously.... Tokugawa

What's the word for ruler or emperor in Japanese?

I think Shogun is, and Tokugawa is like a higher rank of shgunate. How about Tokugawa Godzilla? ;)

Shogun is more like a Warlord

for quite some time there was both a Shogun and an Emporer of Japan

The Shogun having more political and Military Power, while the Emperor (at the time) had mainly Religious Power, as he was seen as a God on Earth.

No, Shogun is the official title for military ruler of Japan. Tokugawa is reffering to the general Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) who unified Japan after 150 years of civil war known as the Sengoku Era. His victory at Sekigahara in 1600 led to him becoming Shogun of Japan in 1603 and his heirs would rule as shogun until 1867.

I think Hirohito sounds better. :p



:joke:

Tokugawa is fine.

"Octavian" has a nice ring to it...

or Tokugawa.

Tokugawa is fine for me as the name.

But some of the posts above have raised another question - what of the title?

We forgot about this in DG4 and chose Civver as a spur of the moment decision in the Creation Chat - hence we had "We Love the Civver Day".

I think "The Great Shogun of the Great Nation of Aphatatica" sounds good. :p

I would go for Tokugawa, after getting a hint. ;) yet the previous comment was an ironic joke.

I would go for Meiji, in honor of the Emperor who modernized Japan and made it a global power. Tokugawa is just a warlord like Rashid Dostum and Khun Sa.
Do you want to take that remark back? I have mountains of info to prove the contrary. (though im not exactly willing to waste my time doing so)

I propose Oda Nobunaga, greater, I think, than Tokugawa. Tokugawa could probably not have succeded in his unification if not preceded by Nobunaga.

Nobunaga biography (http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/TOKJAPAN/ODA.HTM)

Tokugawa biography (http://www.samurai-archives.com/ieyasu.html)

Another great choice would be:

Himura Kenshin, Hitokiri Battousai

I would like Dave-Toryo, which is a variation of Daytoryo, Prime Minister.
We should honor the leader, by giving the leader his own name.

Still the main city should have a Japanese name, pending on land around.

Emperor would be a far grander name!

Some names come to mind: Emperor Jimmu, the mythical first emperor and founder of Japan; Emperor Meiji, who reunified under the Emperor and brought it into the industrial world; or Emperor Akihito, the current emperor.

"Octavian" has a nice ring to it...

or Tokugawa.

@Oct - just curious......has there ever been a Leader Name discussion where you didn't use that joke? :lol:

BTW, I say we just stick with Tokugawa. The other options are too varied and probably won't garner enough support.

What about Bob?

Bob's a great name. Perhaps Larry or Steve? Eric?

How about Tokuzarna? It's Japanese.... kind of

Seriously, I don't like Tokugawa. He is in civ too much already, as an opponent.

'Tis tradition, DZ. I'm going to keep suggestion it until someone actually listens to me. :p

Maybe we can use Gandalf.

In that case............ :mischief:

Hey, you know what? I proclaim that the Japanaticese adopt the leadername that will instill fear in all mere mortals that dare to speak it:

Shogun Octavian!!

There, I listened. Glad that's settled. :lol:
