C3C PBEM : "Shogun" - Sengoku scenario-based PBEM

[LouLong]

*** GAME STARTED ***

Shogun will be the name of this new "Sengoku" scenario mostly aimed at active players of the defunct "Sengoku".

It is for Conquests, using the MP version of the Sengoku scenario and the patch 1.22.
So you need to have both Conquests and the patch 1.22 installed on your computer.

*** special ***

to make the game run faster, 6 players will be human, 2 AI and all civs will start with 4 settlers, and more workers and ashigarus.
Number of turns decreased to 450.
I will post the modified biq for everyone to check the balance.


Civs will be attributed randomly normally but you can state your prefered civ and if they don't contredict you will probably get it.

Civs : 8

- Mori :
- Miyoshi :
- Imagawa :
- Takeda :
- Uesugi :
- Date :
- Hojo : AI
- Oda : AI



Players : 6

1. Loulong
2. Akots
3. Rcoutme
4. Kuningas
5. Portuga
6. Ironduck

You want to be in ? You have further questions ? Post in this thread or send me a PM. If ready to join, send me a PM with your e-mail.

When the rooster is full, I will send to all of you a planning e-mail with play order, e-mails, etc...

Organization : the game will be called Shogun to be recognizable and when you get the game, send a mail to inform the sender you got it (GPS = Got it, Played it, Sent it).

 

[ironduck]

I'd like to join

 

[akots]

I still would like to try it but we need to balance the timezones so that it moves flawlessly. Can you post the biq please? May be instead we can start with 4 settlers each? Just to be able to put the cities where we want. AI, on the other hand, can start with 4 cities. Monarch or Emperor would be a fair difficulty.

 

[LouLong]

Here it is (city locations and units) :
About the 4 settlers instead, no pb for me. Depends on what the majority prefers.

 

[ironduck]

This is not the shogun scenario that comes with the game? I haven't tried that yet, just assumed this pbem was that scenario..

 

[akots]

Just took a brief look. IMO, human ppls have to start with settlers, city placement is somewhat suboptimal. As well as road placement. Some civs already have one luxury connected while others do not. Also, a big question is where to put the AI? In the center? Or to the edges?

Did you tweak Yamabushi? Probably, either reduce movement to 1 (all terrain as road) or remove free pillaging? Just unflag pillaging ability?

 

[Yamamoto]

hmm... i think i would like to play this scenario too... my clan would be yamamoto

 

[Kuningas]

I'm in! Settlers, no cities.
This might be interesting Akots is playing.

 

[LouLong]

OK, settlers are a better idea anyway (more freedom and more balance). I will increase workers as well (3 or 4).

About the AI civs I think they would be best around the middle (one "south", one "north") so that nobody can have a free shot at them for instance.
So from North to South or vice versa : 2 humans, 1 AI, 2 humans, 1 AI, 2 humans.

Akots : Yamabushi : yes, I wrote it only in the Game directory thread but I changed the Yamabushi from 2 to 1 movement (but kept pillaging and ATAR).

@Ironduck, Kuningas and Yamamoto : players from Sengoku have priority but if they decline, you will be in along your "application" date.

Kuningas : are you at CDZ ?

And yes please give your playing times (civs are nearly identical anyway).

 

[rcoutme]

I would still like to try the Mori, I have not looked at the script, but did you think to give your settlers at least one defender?

 

[LouLong]

4 settlers, 5 ashigarus, 3 workers

 

[LouLong]

This is not the shogun scenario that comes with the game? I haven't tried that yet, just assumed this pbem was that scenario..

It is, but with starting bonus and MP version. The SP version has a much larger map with more civs.

 

[akots]

Please also we need a decent starting treasury about 50g at least to support all these units we get on start.

@Kuningas: It would be really a great challenge to play against you. Looking forward for an intriguing game!

 

[LouLong]

Please also we need a decent starting treasury about 50g at least to support all these units we get on start.

I know. I already used that set up for Pangea. So I know about the gpt deficit after the first city is built while all the other units are wandering around.

 

[Gnarfflinger]

I guess I'm a bit far down the waiting list, but would like to try this one sometime.

 

[Kuningas]

@LouLong. This is my third PBEM game. I haven't joined at CDZ. Lurking there sometimes.
Playtimes 3:00 pm - 11:00pm (GMT +2).

 

[LouLong]

OK, game full.

I did not get other players from Sengoku so Ironduck is in (he applied first) and so is Kuningas (invitation by Akots).

4 settlers each, 5 ashigaru, 3 workers, 50 "gold".

The two AI tribes will be have the same + usual AI bonus. Level : emperor.

For thos who haven't, please write down your GMT +/- playing time.
Civs will be attributed purely on playting times order. So Rcoutme, you may or may not have the Mori.

 

[rcoutme]

Well...due to CFIDS...my playing time is anytime I happen to be awake. That could be any time, since I do not have a circadian rhythm.

 

[ironduck]

I can play on and off in the GMT 3-12 pm timeframe..

 

[portuga]

I can play from 10am to 11pm GMT
