Report of RB8 1300-1500AD
Atlas (the guy holding the world up, not the book with maps) the Weedy has acended the throne of Germany; he was recently the head of the Japanese empire, but a rapscallion named Drasca rose up and overthrew him in a popular rebellion. Drasca and his adherents claimed that Atlas the Weedy had not been as careful as he should have been and that weed had occured in the placement of Kagoshima. In anyevent prosperity reigned during the twin rule of Atlas and Drasca. There were many great accomplishments during their reign. Versailles finished in the German empire and people rejoiced since they love reduced maintence costs. The people of German empire love their new religion Islam and it continues to spread. There was a period of "disorder" when it was made the official state religion, but all is well now in the Islamic German lands. The great people of Japan have built a new city named Nagasaki. They have also completed in Tokyo their great project called The Spiral Minaret. The alchemists of Germany and Japan after many years of work finally complete their understanding of the stars (astronomy) they claim this will allow larger ships to be built to aid in the crushing of the Allies (FDR and Vicky) for even the German-ese Scientists recognize the foulness of those to the north. Most of the people of Germany and Japan prepare for war, with the occasional obersvatory being built at the insistence of the alchemists. Further more the alchemists have insisted on learning to chart their stars, and thus need something to write on, they discovered Paper after 50 short years. The alchemist have also with the help of a Japanese great merchant put in much work towards a device for mass publication, but it would seem only the next rulers will see the fruition of that dream. With the discovery of Astronomy many products can now be shipped between the two empires, wines, iron, horses, crabs, silks etc are now enjoyed in both empires. There is much happiness and health as a result. FDR/Vicky Mao/Peter are jealous of the rich lands of the Japanese and German empires and wish to trade with us, but our great people would not hear of it. They cried "Our wines go into the bellies of the those foul tyrants?? NEVER!!!!" Thus trading has not occured. The great german merchant Harkuf has explored the many english and american cities and could now bring home 1300 gold pieces or bring 1300 beakers towards the P. Press. This is for the future leadership. Good luck future Leaders. Pictures and the save to follow

Now that was a fun report. 
Looks good guys. Don't worry if Drasca said your city placement was weedy Atlas - we are all weedy in the eyes of Drasca 
Only joking, of course.
I should be able to play tomorrow with Chriseay or Morred if you guys are around.

I ought to be around, I have tennis in the morning, but if you can be on 'four hours later' like we did two weeks ago, we can play
Morred
Warlord
Unique and I are taking it now
Morred
Warlord
We played them and Unique said he would have the report up by tommorow, which was a few hours ago, so I'm as clueless as you.

I've been pretty busy the last couple of days, I played with Morred on Saturday night. I'll try to get the report posted this evening.

Please forgive me for the severe tardiness of this report. I shouldn't have agreed to play last Saturday, and believe me, if I hadn't though I'd be able to get the report done last Sunday, I wouldn't have. However, I spent the entire afternoon and evening Sunday working on a lab report that took far longer than I thought it would. agreed to play last weekend. In fact, it would have been done on Sunday if I hadn't spent the entire afternoon and evening after coming home from work working on a lab report that was due the following day. Then, with three midterms, and five assignments scattered throughout the rest of last week, I had barely any free time to work on it at all, and I fell asleep just before finishing it last night. However, I managed to finish it after getting back from work today, so here it is:
Shogun Uniqueuponhim's journal:
1500 AD:
I have barely turned 15 years old, and have already ascended to the throne of the Japanese Empire. I have little to for my lack of experience, however, as my predecessor has already taken care of everything that needs to be done for the next several years, and my advisors assure me they will take care of the rest. I will trust their judgement... for now.
1505 AD:
My twentieth birthday, and much has begun to happen. Over the last several years, many of my advisors and mentors have taken ill or passed away, and I am left on my own to manage the empire. I can still count on my closest ally, Chancellor Morred of Germany, however, to give advice and assistance when necessary.
To begin with, word from our explorer on the Sino-Russian continent has sent word that he has discovered a barbarian city, of all things. They call it "Bactrian" and it is quite large. It appears as if this city is giving the Russians and Chinese no small amount of trouble. And I'm glad, they certainly deserve it!
In the last years, several new hamlets have been constructed, and the labourers responsible for their construction are now seeking new work. Very little of the continent is still unimproved, however, scanning the latest maps, I notice some unsightly jungles that need removing, and send some of them to do the job. Others, I have sent to Kyoto to build up the infrastructure around the city: some of the forests have no routes through them, a problem that needed to be remedied.
1509 AD:
I have just been very rudely awakened by a messenger from the dispicable Mao Zedong of China. Apparently the Chairman was demanding that we give him our hard-earned knowledge of Astronomy. I laughed in the face of the messenger, and told him to tell his patron that perhaps if China should ensure she is able to back up her threats before she makes them.
1510 AD:
It is hard to believe, but I've been emperor for ten years already! In that time, much has changed, and many advancements made. With the collaboration of our friends the Germans, our engineers have developed this wonderful new machine called the Printing Press. Now, we will be able to apread word of the glorious deeds done by our governments and make everyone aware of the misdeeds of the corrupt English and American governments. Yes, this new machine will serve us and our people well.
Now, we must decide in what fields of science to invest in next. We only have so many resources, so it is important we choose wisely. After listening to the proposals of numerous alchemists, sages and engineers, Morred and I came to the conclusion that we should focus on technologies of warfare that we might wipe our enemies off of the face of the earth when the time comes.
1515 AD:
Not too many years before I began my reign, our people and our allies were able to develop the science of observing the heavens: astronomy. They say that these observations will allow our ships to navigate more accurately, and keep them from becoming lost. This alone makes the discovery worth it, and is a great asset to our navy. What's more, however, is that the study of the science of astronomy can potentially lead to a much better understanding of the physical world - a study which is greatly ameliorated by the use of telescopes. To that end, before I came to power, observatories were ordered constructed in several cities. This year, two of those have been completed, in Tokyo and Osaka. These cities are now fast becoming important places for people in the world of science.
Unfortunately, however, our enemies, the English and Americans who are keeping valuable knowledge from us, are forcing our hand. Thus, we can not spend much more of our resources on such endeavours. I have ordered Tokyo and Osaka to both begin training Samurai.
1520 AD:
Our military scientists have made modest advances recently. They have developed a new weapon: The longbow. This formidable weapon has excellent range and power, however I fear it will rapidly become obsolete with the Anglo-american alliance's recent discovery this new, explosive substance they are calling gunpowder.
Our poitical scientists have also made significant advances lately: they have developed an entirely new, as-yet-unheard of civics, one of which appears as if it could give us a significant military advantage. I've decided to hold off on switching for now, however.
I am quite eager to develop this gunpowder, and I have told my advisors so, however, disappointingly, they have told me that our scientists haven't the slightest clue how to make the stuff, but that there have been some proposals involving some new type of mounted warrior. I decide this is worth investing in, and advise our German counterparts to do the same.
1525 AD:
My fortieth birthday, and what a day it was! An extraordinary German Merchant has just made some astounding discoveries! I've given him an audience, and he has explained to me several marvelous new concepts he has come up with (with the aid of some Japanese scientists, he assures me.) First of all, he has developed a new form of armored, mounted combatant, which he calls a Knight. These knights, he says, if trained properly, can be a formidable force. That's not all, though: He has developed a new form of shop, specialising in the selling of foodstuffs, called a Grocer. Finally, he has made advances, vastly improving the efficiency of our workshops. This man is amazing! I've instructed him to continue his research, and that he will receive full funding from both his and my government.
More good news is that our third Observatory has finished being constructed, this one in our crown jewel of a city, Kyoto. Scientists from around the world will now flock to Japan! I have ordered that more Samurai be trained.
In less upbeat news, it seems as if the citizens of Nagoya have been becoming upset of late. I've decided to order a temple to be built as soon as the Observatory currently under construction is finished, to try to appease the people.
Finally, several more labourers have completed their respective jobs. I have instructed them to remove all traces of Jungle near Harbor city.
1530 AD:
We received an envoy from the Americans - apparently, they would like to trade us their knowledge of Gunpowder for the Printing Press. We could not more happily oblige them. This knowledge is just what we need to destroy them!
1535 AD:
Our explorers have been staying in the vicinity of Bactrian, keeping an eye on the conflict there. Until recently, the Chinese and Russians had been summarily beaten back in every attack they performed. This year, however, is a sad one, as it marks the fall of Bactrian into Chinese hands. The vile Chinese will pay for their actions!
A division of Samurai has finished training in Osaka. We have sent them to Kagoshima, where they will be ready for the coming invasion of the English. I have ordered that more be trained.
1540 AD:
The German merchant and his team, in collaboration with Japanese economists, have developed an entirely new and innovative system called Banking. Our economies will now have vastly improved in efficiency, and I thank the merchant for his service to both our countries.
With our newfound knowledge of Gunpowder, Morred and I are eager to put it into application. Some of our scientists speak of new weapons called Rifles, however they are currently unable to find ways to build the parts required to make them. I authorize that they receive all the funding necessary to do so.
More samurai have completed training in Tokyo. I have sent them to Kagoshima and ordered the training to continue. Hopefully, soon, we will be able to arm our soldiers with firearms.
1545 AD:
It is my sixtieth birthday, and as I grow older, less happens around the empire. Recently, another division of Samurai was finished training in Kyoto. Deciding that it's about time we settled on the unclaimed land in the north of our continent, I have ordered that a settler be built.
My advisors inform me that we have enough money now to invest an extra 10 percent in scientific pursuits. I agree with him, and rework the budget so that 80% of it is now poured into science.
1550 AD, February 11th:
I feel I am in the final years of my reign. Although I wasn't able to begin our invasion of the Anglo-American alliance, I have put our country in a position to be able to. Hopefully, my successor will be able to succeed in the invasion
1550 AD, February 18th:
This is the former Shogun's steward. The Shogun passed away this morning, from a severe illness. His final order was to train more Samurai in Osaka and Tokyo, and send those that had just finished their training to the northern shore to prepare for the invasion. We await his successor.

I am playing as Germany, Atlas as Japan. My first concern, kick the specialists and go for city growth (food), production and cottage growth.
Lighthouse is superfluous for a lot of these cities with many workable inland tiles
1555 1 Atlas decides to grab some war civics, and rectifies lack of galleon situation. I'll join his war civics shortly.
1560 I decide mass whippings of banks are in order. That'll increase my net gold, and I'll revolution to something else this turn.
1565 I discover a workboat that was never woken up south of Stuttgart. Stupid stupid sleep command! AND WHY ARE THESE WORKERS BUILDING A ROAD?!?! Japan and germany, morred and unique, CANCEL ALL QUEUED COMMANDS!
1570
1575
1580 War time.
1585 I discover that caravels can't pillage. Atlas razes Newcastle, and I disagree with that decision. San fran's defenses are down to 2%

1600 9 Beach-Head established.
We realize we're going to need CRIII rifles to take down these cities. Produce high xp melee units and upgrade them with cash to Rifles.
Overall War Strategy should be to use our Galleons to carry our units quickly from city to city. We'll also need more catapults, some high xp ones dedicated to bombardment too.
Here's why units should be UNPROMOTED until they need to be.
1605 10
1610 11
1615 12
1620 13 We use our GA's for nationalism
1625 14 Dial down science. Nationalism in a few turns.
1630 15 Vickie has redcoats.
1635 16
1640 17
1645 18
1650 19 GE born for Germany he'll go to Berlin. Atlas captures Atlanta for Japan
1655 20 We decide to take an extra turn to end on an even year.
1660 Much confusion as I see my units being killed, but not know where. Unfornuately, it was one of my raiding sorties. Damnit. We've just gotten our noses bloodied, but we're going for a knockout. They're going down.
Well, Atlas mentioned something about a bank needing whipped. I'm not sure what direction to make. I made much weed on my city assault, unfortunately, and I blame noobishness to the MP format. Have to be very careful where the my units are every turn, or I'll lose them.
We're on the road to military tradition. I'm not sure it is the best tech around, but we'll be able to take their cities out one by one soon enough. Jute is too well defended to take right now. Scout and capture Elizabeths other cities. If you need, to grab chemistry instead for the frigates to be on-par naval wise.
We're in a Napoleanic era of war. We missed the boat, literally, for taking them out before rifles. Too slow. Should've gotten galleons and moved our samurai / cats a lot faster, but it is too late for that. Vicky has Redcoats, so it'll be a lot easier to take down Washington instead.
What do you guys think?
Screen shot post forthcoming tomorrow. I feel its better to get the save up first.
