Transcript
00:07Hello everyone and welcome to this fifth
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI haven't managed to post any videos lately
00:29because of revision for uni. If you
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined7
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSo, I did this game, this recording about a
00:53week or two ago. So, my apologies if I get
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddon't want to make a 15-minute video that's just
01:20too short. Really, as you can see, I'm just going
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhappening, losing quite a few boats from just
01:56really stupid novice mistakes, really. I didn't
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedafterwards, but I can't remember what I did here.
02:27I think I resolved the battle in the end because
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined23
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthere. Not sure if anything happened in the rest
02:58of this turn, really. I don't think anything
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI think the Japanese did build one ocean-going
03:25boat. I'm going by something I read on Wikipedia.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined31
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreturned, well, it was out at sea, even. And yeah,
03:56they sort of never built ocean boats until the
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined35
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrebuild them, which doesn't make any sense to me,
04:22but there we go. Can just see me trying to
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhere, the Boon. So they're quite useful. I've got,
04:51what have I gone for in the end? Boon and Boab,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined43
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthem, which will mean they're not busy trying
05:18to kill me. At this point, I think I was just
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwas just going through my troops there. I think I
05:45ended up trying to build some buildings at this
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtrade agreements with the various different clans
06:10because obviously more trade equals more money
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedended up offering them military access to try
06:45and... Yeah, it seems I have. Not sure how much
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthrough the research tree. But until then, I'll be
07:14treated as an outcast. I mean, some of them, if I
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined63
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat's going to take a long, long time to do.
07:36Really just going through another lot of end turns
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined67
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup having to try and resolve getting defeated. I
08:04mean, I'm not very good at naval battles in Shogun
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined71
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpoint, really, which wasn't good at all. And
08:31being blockaded again, believe, try to remember
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined75
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthem once we gain naval supremacy. We've kind of
09:06lost it quite badly. So one enemy ship... I think
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined79
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin Bungo and roads in Tosa so we can
09:38move our troops about quicker and more
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI end up taking with me, but quite a few.
10:00Where Christianity is sort of being imposed in
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtroops and, well, they've got better odds than us
10:25at winning the battle. So I ended up bringing
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined91
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedend up doing that later on in the episode.
10:51Just checking the disorder and stuff like that.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined95
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto see what that will get me. It would take
11:17a while to research it all, but still might
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgoing to need powder maker and stuff like that,
11:44or maybe some other stuff that will improve
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined103
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedimported matchlock, which is, um, I think that's
12:11inferior steps to the Matchlock Otomo matchlock.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou started off with was quite superior.
12:35Just trying to get trade agreements again.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI think we're going to make 3,000 gold in the
12:56next turn. And I remember then, I remember I had
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined115
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedagain. Um, counted some clans along the way. I
13:21might not get to the trade route up north in time.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpost-commentary part of the video. Um,
13:44thank you for watching up to this point. Um, my
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedout properly, so I will see you in a second.
14:09And I'm in live commentary now. Um, hello
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedNanban Quarter up and running in the next
14:35turn. So that would be quite good. And we've been
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedturn. Alright, we've got Portuguese Tercios from
15:15completing the Nanban Quarter. Uh, right, Nanban
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined135
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedship again. Why does it keep selecting the wrong
15:53ships? That's the enemy ship. Oh, we can't attack
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedinto a trading port, I think I'll do that because,
16:25yeah, we're going to need more trading routes.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined143
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon. No, unacceptable. Alright. And just the
17:02Shimazu left to trade with now. Don't
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined147
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedRight, still two turns left to go and then we'll
17:32have it. Still outnumbered quite a bit. Well,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis. Right, that's an enemy unit. Let's just go
18:01check out our new Tercios. Portuguese Tercios. Ah,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined155
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcan't seem to. That's... We can't... There it is,
18:38Nanban trade ship. One and a half thousand, but an
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined159
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlot of editing and redoing all the different bits,
19:15post-commentary and stuff. So, I'll probably
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined163
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedship's about halfway up the coast of Japan now,
19:49so that's good. Right, we've been attacked. Right,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
undefined:undefined167
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe audio. Um, hopefully I'll try to avoid that
20:15in the next videos. Um, thank you for watching.
undefined:undefined00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,560
