I don't think there's a way to cancel the 'relations' off in an 'official' way. You certainly need their trading post to be able to train musks/arq's. :embarassed:
awe, that's contradictory to history, a smith traded his daughter in marrige to a Dutch guy, and got the secret of gun making, then they showed up everywhere,and they supposedly were better made than the European ones.Nobunaga had 3,000 at Nagashino I believe :P
You can build a gun factory which gives you higher quality muskets...can't remember if it allows you to build your own though.
hmm, I'll test it, that sounds more like history
it is possible to destroy the trading post and reject the dutch / portuguese by declining there offer next time they wisit .. whit gun factory it is possible to train ashigaru whit teppo ... but destroy the port and you loose 200 koku income :( ... so better keep it, as the gun factory is too hard to get : need citadel legendary armory .. to much for only +1 honor ...
true, but is there any certain way to make sure Christianity never takes root in your lands?
Trading with the Dutch doesn't spread Christianity into your territory; only trading with the Portuguese does that. The Dutch don't care about spreading their religion--they just want your money. ~D
Christianity only takes root if you build churches. You can trade with the Portugese without going Christian.
good, then the Portuegese have no place in my lands :PQuote:

THANK BUDDHA! :DQuote:

You gotta be kidding me! In all the years I've had Shogun, I've always been of the impression that accepting the Portugese offer of trade automatically meant my lands would start converting to Catholicism. Are you now telling me that all this time I've held off on getting muskets until the Dutch arrive (thus putting me at a disadvantage), it was for nothing?? [incredulous] :furious3:Quote:

Sheesh. *Now* you tell me. ~:rolleyes:
X_X why? and can you destroy the cathedral later and still get muskets? what if you wait for the Dutch?
If you wait for the dutch you can build muskets and arqs at the dutch trading post.
If you accept the portugese offer you can train arqs at the trading post without going christian. If you build 6 churches and a cathedral you can train muskets at the trading posts. If you destroy cathedral I assume you lose that ability, there is no reason to destroy cathedral though because it will be bringing in 1200 koku a year minimum.
the reason to destroy the cathedral is to prevent christianity.. the Dutch sound a lot better, and cooler.
The Dutch are always good and cool. :cool2: Also in real-life :laugh4:Quote:

Some guys have all the luck! [mock sigh] I had always just assumed (a dangerous word, I know) that if one accepted trade with the Portuguese, that you simply weren't allowed to build temples anymore, and that you had to build churches from then on out. Oh well, better late than never, I guess. ~:rolleyes:
