Shotgun Shogun | The Race to Japan!

[@jadonkeydonkey]

not having a fleet as a pirate is crazy

[@ewigerschuler3982]

Outta pocket fo sure

[@Leivve]

Despite So being classed as "Hard" this actual difference in difficulty isn't that much, losing his navy so early on somehow should have been a restart. As a pirate republic you can functionally ignore money for the blitz across Japan if you have naval superiority.

[@Ind3xPlus]

I would say the only thing that makes so a bit harder in a normal playthrough, is that you can't go for the show strengths day one. But than again, you habe basically infinite money so that balances it out

[@zeppelinled3967]

yeah. playing as a naval country without a navy is just bizzare.

[@henryglennon3864]

Speaking of Japan, when Laith turns his head, the profile of his hair with the headphones looks like the Great Wave Off Kamigawa.

[@DogWithGuns]

I've watched every episode of EU Masters so far, and it's been fantastic. My only complaint is: it is not always obvious whose game is on the screen when TRH and Laith are commentating. Perhaps the player's names could be above the timer for the next series?

[@speed5official]

Good idea!

[@FlatDerrick]

@@speed5official Can you stick a coloured border round the side of the frame? Assign one colour per player at tournament start and whenever it's their screen the border is the appropriate colour. Would stop the eyes constantly having to wander top right.

[@davidclore7142]

Heck yeah COGS, been pulling for ya. Well played.

[@umbelorapaz]

So guide: 1- Day 0 start spying on Ouchi with the trade node spy bonus 2- Ally hosokawa (until you conquer kyushu) 3- build 2 infantry and some galleys 4- Take your troops to your ally Shoni 5- Declare as soon as you have conquest CB, call shoni with promise of land 6- win the war, give nothing to shoni, break alliance 7- use pirate money and debt to snowball, once you conquer kyushu you are cruising, break hosokawa and ally uesugi Edit: typo

[@lorenzoogg4387]

These two have been my favorites since the start! So fun to watch them play against each other!

[@hellodolly7989]

Honestly really good Japan showing from Cogs. That campaign is saveable lol.

[@the_niss]

I'm curious if seru knows about the enforce peace tricks for japan

[@nikolaitregouet]

Hawk… in Japan you DO NOT improve with Ashikaga. You insult them to max out your liberty desire

[@wowo-wo6st]

I think it could be cool in one of these to have an alternate start date like in the 15 or 16 hundreds or something

[@ΒασιληςΛυπηριδης-φ4κ]

Ι really though Seru was going to win at the beginning

[@ReuvenGoldstein1]

This was So disappointing.

[@MrNonsense101]

Only habibi and Florry were any good at the game this season.

[@IamCogs]

Post some of your runs, see if you can do any better next season. ;)

[@chriswilliamson9993]

Disagree - Magier has also put on some good runs.

[@Josh-zk3ru]

My god who are these two people. They have 0 drive to win or get anything

[@speed5official]

They are two of our subscribers!

[@IamCogs]

I beg your pardon, I was 5 provinces short of having all of Japan, the only thing that slowed me down was lack of Admin while being at -3 stab. It's extremely easy to say that as a spectator without any knowledge of everything that goes on. I can promise you we had anything but "0 drive to win or get anything". If you think you can do better why don't you try to make it on air next season? ;)

[@Josh-zk3ru]

@IamCogs I have 7.5k hours and played since eu2. Sure, I'll compete. Along as I get the redhawk and laith. Both you and the other dude are shit not because of the game play but because neither of you have any drive to win. Last week, you both were at the bottom, and neither of you bothered trying to get the double points. Winning is a mentality. One that neither you nor the other guy has. Should be pissed you lost and shit the bed. Not just ambivalent

[@Josh-zk3ru]

@speed5official how do I get on this? I have 7.5k hours and have played since Eu2

[@IamCogs]

I have 9k hours and have played since EU1. We all react differently to different things, there is no static "I lost I'm gunna be pissy about it" some can be gracious in defeat.. Oh and I did try to get 2x points the week before as Siena, and rerolled this week to try and get a 3x, but I guess you would know better since you watched. ;)
