Thanks for your Reply.
>That's not an issue. The resource still stays there if you cut the forest.
They cut Forest on Timber Prime and Lose 1 Hammer !(AI is not Clever)
They want to cut forest on timber prime tile beside in city 20 tile. (I see Korean leader Seojong do it. They lose Forest Hammer bonus)
I want to change Prime Timber tile have no forest and +1Hammer and there is only Prime Timber and No tech need find Prime timber.
>Did Japan actually field any cuirassier-like units? Sorry, I don't read Japanese and I don't trust Google Translate when researching stuff, so you have to help me out here. I'm currently consciously using a more generic name because I believe Japan didn't field any real cuirassiers.
I don't have any photo or book about Japanese cuirassiers written by English but in Japan his cuirassiers are famous called Teppou-Kiba or kiba-Teppoutai about AD1600.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_Masamune
I will find evidence which you can read.(There are Japanese Date cuirassiers in Koei Strategy Game [Nobunaga's Ambition]. Do you know this game?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobunaga's_Ambition
And Sengoku MOD for Civ4 have this unit or not.
>Neither do I. They are not in RI great people lists. Could it be you just ran out of general names and those are randomly generated people?
Yes, maybe they are Random Name.
>Hideyoshi is anything BUT seafaring, he lost his Korean campaign 100% at sea. If there was a drawback associated with sea, he'd get one.
I do not know 100% lose.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chilcheollyang
I know that cheaper ship was often destroyed,and it is critical problem.
Many Japanese ship was made for transport Army not for combat.
Many Japanese Ships did'nt have cannon,Only have large size masket.
Japanese Ship was more number,but cheaper.
And tactical lose are many, but strategic lose are not many.
I don't think his Navy was strong but he wanted to trade with Portuguese and Spain unlike Ieyasu.
His Navy is not Navy but like Marine.
Hideyoshi want to hold Nanban Trade beside Christian missionary was killed by him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanban_trade
Against for Hideyoshi,Tokugawa want not to hold nanban Trade (but he like to kill missionary) and he didn't want to dominate all Gold and Silver Mine want to Land for Farming by gathering tax.
Hideyoshi wanted to dominate all gold&silver mine.
Tokugawa like to gathering tax from farming, not by trading or commerce movement.
So he wanted to make many people to be farmer,unlike Nobunaga and Hideyoshi.
He made nomadic people who were like free commoner to be peasant under serfdom.(so many people today hate him)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_occupations
Nobunaga or Hideyoshi may be financial.
(Rakuichi-Rakuza)
Tokugawa didn't trade with Portuguese and Spain, so he didn't need much gold or silver.
Before Edo Era, there are many nomadic people, wako was one example.
And Kusunoki Masashige is the famous Hero of Nomadic people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusunoki_Masashige
And Province where Meiji revolution hero was born is where there were many nomadic people.
>This is specifically a Kofun-era cavalry unit, not a later Heian unit. It is based on this illustration:
Nice Book. What is this book ?
Jomon means some of pot type.
(Two Pre Jomon Era was called Kyu-Sekki Era and Kaimon Era)
Yayoi means agriculture and farming.
Kofun means some of tomb type.
Heian means peace, but real Heian Era is far from peace.
Kofun Era is before Heian Era.
In RI, We can make Heian Horse Archer 1st and Kofun heavy Rider 2nd, it is not natural.
(and In Heian Era ,Heavy Horseman ware more heavy than Kofun)
Emishi (Northan Japanese People) dosen't mean Era means province.
So Heian Rider will be Change name to Emishi Rider, or Japanese Horse Archer.
(and real Heian horse archer is like Yabusame of RI,Heian horse archer of Ri is pre Heian horse archer)
I think changing name Heian Horse Archer or Kofun rider's Model&name Change to O-Yoroi horseman may be better.
Kofun Armor is Lamellar armour and O-yoroi is too,so these have technical continuity.
And Nara Spear Man has same problem.
Yayoi Era is before Nara Era ,but we can make Nara spearman before yayoi Axeman.
Iron Spear called 「鉄矛」(てつほこ)tetsuhoko.
So nara spear man may change to tetsuhoko-hei.
But spear is main weapon in Nara Era.
I think you know 天武天皇.
He is the king who is good at fighting with tetsuhoko.
And Axe is not main-weapon in Yayoi-Era.
Long-swords and Spears are Main weapon in Yayoi-Era.
And Japanese Horseman not often use spear.

(Japanese Article but photo is very important.)
After Yayoi Era, Short bow was not used in Japan.
Only Early Jomon Era, Short Bow was used.
But,some resercher say that Short Bow was rare in Jomon Era, Long Japanese Bow was main bow in Jomon Era.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumi
I think this picture effectted by this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haniwa
This is like Chinese Armor, not like Japanese O-Yoroi(Horseman Armor)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ō-yoroi
O-yoroi is Armor in Later Heian Era and made for hoserman and very expensive.
Do-Maru is Armor In Kamakura Era and made for horseman and foot soldier.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dō-maru
And do you know Izumo Iron and Mimana Iron ?
Yamato got Iron from south Korean mountain by trading, but after find Iron in Izumo, they didn't import Iron from South Korea.
In Kofun Era Yamato import Iron ,but in Nara and Heian Era, they did'nt.
But,Yamato only Imported Iron Plate from Korea, not import Armor in Kofun Era.
In Yayoi Era, they import copper from China and export Copper accessory.
>Well, RI is in English language, and the main thing sold in Tsukiji is tuna - like, tuna in general, not as in all those different variations you have. And if you have noticed, I'm already using a sushi as its depiction.
Tuna is called for not Maguro in Japan, but called for canned maguro, and I feel it is cheap.
Can you tuna in RI call Maguro or Hon-Maguro?
Maguro has expensive meaning, and Hon-Maguro has more expensive meaning.
And in Tukiji Market, many fishes are expensive.
>Unfortunately this is a question of animations available. There are no mounted javelin throwers in Civ 4, and nobody made custom anims for them. That would be useful for many civs actually!
I know Alexander has javelin thrower horseman.(But I don't know japanese javelin)
This is civ animation Problem.
>You do realize that this is a very late artistic depiction, right? Scandinavian units used at the moment are quite historically accurate; you are making a bit of a mistake thinking all of them should be vikings though - viking era is just one time period, and we also use units that are earlier and later than that. It would be like limiting pre-gunpowder unit roster of Japan to only Sengoku period, as that is the best known (though I have to admit most other mods I know do exactly that to Japanese units

; I had to make most early Japanese units myself for RI).
In XML,they called viking,but it it mistake that I called scandinavian civ for viking.(and because of my cheaper English, I could not tell you my thinking)
I was talking about Berserker.
I don't know Scandinavian Viking used horn helmet.
I know that helmet like mongolian horsman they used.
Scandinavian units used at the moment are quite historically accurate, this is true.
But why their UniquUnit berserk is vanilla berserker model?
I know vanilla berserker is not accurate .
Problem about not your picture or modeling, but using vanilla berserker model.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(manga)
This is one of famous berserker in Japan, but origined from Gottfried von Berlichingen = not Scandinavian but German.
I know how do you gather knowledge about foreign country.
I am excited that foreigner knows Kofun Era.
And Japanese Pyramid may be this.
