What's going on with my geishas, those disobedient floozies! Specifically:
1. When she's, say, two provinces away from the target general, and instead of moving her across the two provinces, I simply dump her on the general (I'm lazy), the next turn she "hyperspaces" way back deep somewhere into my territory, instead of marching straight through the two provinces to the general. If you try and interrupt her and give her something new, it says, "Do you wish to abort this mission?" What mission? I thought you went home for some R&R, lady! If she's still on the mission, how the heck did she get way back deep in my territory? (Note: emissaries do this too.)
2. Apparently if you geisha an allied clan to death, you don't inherit his stuff. I thought I read somewhere that you did...
3. Sometimes I tell my geisha to kill a daimyo and she fails; on the next turn the daimyo dies of an illness, or maybe dies in battle. Nevertheless, the geisha still wanders off into parts unknown claiming she's on a "mission". What mission? Is this a glitch? Where is she going?
4. Sometimes -- even when it's a case of rebels -- when you try to kill another general with a geisha, it says, "he's well-protected from ninja attack." What does that mean? How can somebody be well protected from ninja attack? A high rank? Or does that mean there's an enemy geisha in the province? The only reliable way I've been able to figure out to protect my daimyo from geisha attack is move him from province to province on every single turn, so that way a stalking ninja can never (at least theoretically) catch up with him. But is there something I'm not getting?
5. Sometimes when I instruct a geisha to kill somebody, she stays put in that province (claiming, meanwhile, that she's "on a mission"). Meanwhile the intended target has long since moved off to parts unknown. Nevertheless she stays right there, sometimes in seiza, sometimes with her dagger raised. What's going on here? Do some geishas wait for the target to come to them, while others actively march off and follow the target? If so, what determines which course of behavior she's going to adopt?
