The Fivefold Path is a paraphrase on the Eightfold path of Buddhism, combined with the previous TC concept of the Way of the Five Elements. Thus Jomon Stuff.

OK. I never was this event before but it happened twice in a few SP turns recently.
I pray the probability of the event has not been raised too much... Ninjas, what a pain in the neck

pure genius

I hope whoever took that picture gave him $4. I'd hate to know we got our laughs from someone who is dead now, because he couldn't afford proper training.

If he just wrote the address of his Dojo we could have passed the hat and sent him...

I ought to introduce him to my dad--he actually did study ninjitsu for a while, back in the '60s, and he's currently unemployed. And yes, my dad really can beat up your dad.

Well, the AI can't cope with it. I was just playing a game where R'lyeh was in it and he didn't get very far at all. He started in the SE lake of Glory of the Gods, managed to get a few provinces in the second lake but got driven back by Mictlan. (All were impossible AI's.)

R'yleh doesn't particularly strike me as a Nation that necessarily *should* be easy for the SP to play. Atleast in the non-ideal AI state that we operate in, currently. What I mean by that is that it ought to be more subtle, and less straight-forward than most of the other Nations. It's like Mictlan with blood-hunting, or Caelum, they can be very powerful, but you have to really think about what you're doing with them.

Was the AI ever good with Rlyeh? In the SP I've played in LA they've never expanded much beyond the water, which is pretty pathetic given their power.
