But how much of a chance of winning does a first-time player who's a commoner realistically have? Being a commoner sucks, and if you are playing this kind of game for the first time, you'll almost certainly make plenty of mistakes and will have to rely on the help of other players more than an experienced player would have to do.

Originally posted by no1marauderI was indeed a Royal, but I found that it was better for me personally to follow another's lead with someone who I could trust. That service to Uesugi has helped me a great deal in my current a.g.e. game, in which I've taken on a commander's role. In this particular Shogunate game, the "winning" for me was getting experience working with others and learning the finer points of the game.

I for one didn't join Uesugi because of the huge odds against you; I didn't know that he had put together an overwhelming majority of nations when I signed on.
Originally posted by eagles54Gee, I would have thought you had gotten plenty of experience following the same strategy in the first MD.

Originally posted by no1marauderHmmm....I lasted longer than you did in that game so what does that say about the strategy you employed?
Gee, I would have thought you had gotten plenty of experience following the same strategy in the first MD.
And to think I kindly offered to bail you out with gold help.
Originally posted by no1marauderYes, that's why I wouldn't accept Aquitaine's offer to go along for the ride, which would have ensured my survival in that game, because I'm content not to try to win. 🙄
That I play to win while you're content not to try.
No wonder you don't win - your critical assessment is on a par with your diplomacy skills.
