Below you will find my recordings of my game as Tokugawa as the Japanese. I am playing an island map, on Noble (which, compared to Civ3, isn't as hard as Monarch). I hope you enjoy it. I will be updating it as I go along.
The Beginning: The Japanese people's recorded history begins by our choosing to settle along the coastal area of the sea we have lived beside for generations. It is a fertile spot, with a fresh water river flowing beside it. We send out a group of young, eager warriors to scout out the near-by in-lands, to look for further spots for settlement, and to meet with the foreign tribes within our area. We choose the name Kyoto for our new capital.
A Tribal Gift: Apparently the group of Japanese warriors made an impression on at least one local tribe, for after meeting with them, a messenger sent word that they were gifted with much precious gold. This will do well to help our settlement grow.
News from Abroad: We have heard back again from our, by now, middle-aged warriors. To the east lies a tropical jungle, ending in the sea, and to the north, more forest. The discussion with the other leaders was an easy one. If we are to expand, and expand we will, we will want to do it southwards, toward the plains. Also, our warriors mentioned the existence of two settled tribes, one to the north and one to the east. The Chinese, led by Qin Shi Huang, similiar to us in language and writing, and a strange culture off the coast of the jungle peninsula, the English, led by a woman named Victoria. These people are led by a woman?
Kyoto Expands: Our settlement of Kyoto has grown in size over the years, reaching a land-mark 6000 people. We are plentiful, and the civilization is happy. Another group of young men have decided to strike out, and explore. It seems it's in our blood. All is well.
A World to Discover:As we explore, more and more of the world has opened up to us. More of our young warriors wish to strike out and make a name for themselves. We do not hold them back. It has been determined that to the north, the Chinese and ourselves are seperated by a small straight, while to the west, we are connected by land, as some of their emissaries have visited our borders. As well, our people have established trade routes with both the Chinese, and the strange English
Hinduism Founded:Our warriors have explored the borders of China, determining that, in fact, we are connected by land in a round about fashion. We don't know whether the Chinese will be upset that the sea is named after us, and all they have is a single straight, but we don't really care, either.
We have also heard news that a religion called Hinduism has been founded in a far off land..
2840BC: Our citizens have founded the religion Buddhism and it is spreading rapidly amongst our populace. The elders and myself have all decided to convert to this new religion, as it will only serve to strengthen our hold on power.
2480BC: We have founded a new settlement, named Osaka, to the west of Kyoto. We hope to turn it into a thriving, ocean-going town. We have sent our best ship-builders there, and they are already hard at working building a war galley for exploration.
Slaves in China: We have been informed by defectors that Qin Shi Huang has adopted the use of slavery. We do not approve, as we feel no person should be a slave to another, unless they are willing, and are not born into it. On a happier note, we have begun our first great architectural project in Kyoto - a towering obelisk.
Most Cultured Civilizations: We have been told by Gibbon, a foreign traveller that we are considered one of the most cultured civilizations in the world!
2090BC: We have completed the obelisk in Kyoto! It towers over all of the other buildings...
Fight 1640BC Style: Our warriors have had their first hostile encounter! They were attacked by a group of club-wielding barbarians, but defeated them soundly.
The Navy Expands: Our ship builders in Osaka have completed work on their galley, and it has been sent across the sea to an area where land was spotted. We have decided to work on city infrastructure, and to improve the lives of our towns folk before expanding further. For now.
