Role Play Challenge: Tokugawa the Isolationist

[madscientist]

Ok, time has passed since this RPC had been played, but I'm reading it only now! And, by the way, reading MadScientists games is always good and educative. And funny, as well!!

I've only a couple of questions, about city placement: Nara and Satsuona.
Why founding Nara THAT north, losing the clam? I'd have founded it 1S, on the hill, getting both clams.
And why founding Satsuona on the hill? I'd have founded it 1E, on the desert, to get the maximum yield from the surrounding land.

Hmmm, a long time, let's see if I remember

Nara: If I recall that Barb city blocked the 1S spot due to the 2 tile away limit and I was not prepared to take out the Barb city yet. This ended up dooming the RPC as I had to kick Pericles out where if I had placed that city properly after destroying the Barb city first things would have worked out better. Still may have lost, but not to invading heathen Greeks.

Satsuana I do not recall enough about, but that may have been a regretted placement. I remember the land was not optimum and I wanted as many coastal cities to max out the GLH wonder.

This was one of those RPCs where I think the potential was there to do very well (and I nailed alot of wonders) but I was a little more reluctant to REX as much as I should have.

Glad your following the RPCs, and glad to see them still read.

this is some history lesson.

When I first saw this, it scared me so much I didn't even try it. I couldn't even win on prince consistently!

If I ever get a LONG block of time I'll probably go back to old games like this and run them, especially because your newer one's rules are usually much more challenging .
