Addition:
I have no idea if it works with pdf, cause normally the ai places units for MinorClans(Ronin+Castles), so I will take the Asai clan and MinorClans. Asai is the pink one, located in the center and most difficult. I will do the placement for MinorClans too, in alphabetical order for all territories with Ronin and Castles, while Castles will be placed in highest valued territories first. There is an overall maximum for units beeing placed by MinorClans, so if maximum (~15) is reached, I will just continue with next territory in list.
Politics require to be confirmed, there is WAR, NEUTRAL and ALLIED, from war to neutral and from neutral to allied there is a confirmation required. After posting turn a player should log in here and post the name of the clan/clans he does not want to be neutral or allied with, all none listed will be considered to be allowed for a relation change.
With this settings it should be possible to play by forum I think.
Banzai!
