SCENARIO SETTINGS

-Seafaring civs (Mori and Oda) begin the game with one Curragh.

-no accelerated production

-no plagues

-cultural conversions are allowed

-barbarians: roaming

-length: 500 turns over a 500 year period

-Victory conditions: there are four paths to victory...
1) Kill all the Shoguns of all your enemies (multiple regicide). Unlike a conquest victory, you can achieve this without destroying all enemy cities.
2) Dominate Japan by having 61% or more of the territory and population.
3) Amass 125,000 culture points.
4) If you fail to achieve any of the above, you can still win if you have the highest score at the end of the game. Score is largely determined by population size and power.
NOTE: this scenario does not use victory points.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

This scenario is not recommended for slower computers.

This scenario is good for players who like to build and expand without being distracted by early conflict.

The Uesugi (Political/Expansionistic) and Date (agricultural/religious) have been upgraded to a major civ for this scenario only; the Date can build Shinto Masters and Uesugi can build Ninja and Ronin. And both can build armies.

Ships +1 movement and carrying capacity.

Seafaring civs (Oda and Mori) have a slight advantage on this map because of the large amount of coastline.

City growth, military power, and technical advancement are the most important factors in achieving a high score.

A victory with any Army triggers a Golden Age.
