I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but why are the Portuguese such jackasses. They are so unbearably rude! What is this “large lord” being a good “father” to my “smaller warriors” stuff they jabber about? Trade me “special things” and take my gold indeed. They may not have a good translator, but they should at least match the Dutch. Those guys know where it’s at.
The Portuguese believe they are superior because they are Christian, that's why I never give them an audience and stick to my Warrior Monks.
I have become christian once, in a shimazu campaign. ARQ's can be very good, but they're not often of use. (rain)
All the time I did not become christian, I did get guns from the Dutch.(they're great! ~:) ) Musks are way too powerful not to use them.
Hah! Considering they're essentially the first Europeans to come by, their translations aren't too bad. Also consider how a Japanese adventurer would address a blubbery, European king. ("Foolish blowhard, surrendur your lands to me, the representative of the Shogun and sovereign of all that matters. If you are lucky, I will reward you by placing your overblown skull on a prominent place in my shrine." or something to that effect comes to mind.)Quote:

It is therefore something the Japanese and the Portuguese would latch onto while communicating.Quote:
