View Full Version : Defending Daimyo\'s
My Daimyo keeps on dying of an illness, I think he is being poisoned, I built border watch towers and forts to protect him, I also posted Ninja's and Shinobi's in the province he was in, what more can I do?

Sos believe me, you WILL know when ur Daimyo is beeing assinated... The reason why he keeps dieing is he age. Try to click on ur daimyo and see how old he is. If you have had the daimyo for looong time and he dies, the heirs will also be of old age, and within a few years the will die too.

Is there any way,then,that I can stop him dying, or have more heirs. Another question, how do you garrison men in castles?
Sorry SOS theres no life support system to keep your Daimyo's mojo going indefinatly,its all part of the game.
To put your unit in the castle,drag the unit icon over top of the castle,and drop by realessing your left hand mouse button.

Clink, I'm ashamed of you, sending the poor newb off to torture himself for hours on end!
You CAN'T put units in castles! *Period*. Don't even try. And it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference anyway. If you are attacked and want to retreat to the castle, that option is open no matter where the troop is.
Well, actually, with the x-pack, you CAN get your guys back into castles, but only by retraining them. Of course here again, there is no point in getting them into the castle, you are retraining them solely for the various benefits that that entails.

kahn, yes you can...I cananyway...but I know I'm special http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
but seriously, click on an army, click on units within an army, then drag them into a castle...
dammit. Now I feel really stupid.
rrrg.

No worry Khan7,I,ve put myself in the same position before.

Actually its not ENTIRELY useless....
sometimes you have a huge army in the province and it gets crowded sometimes - so u can use a castle army to hold a few extra units and help the overcrowding situation.
Qapla!

"A mind is a terrible thing to taste."
You can also use it to help hide a Diaymo. If the enemy hold no bordering provinces and have no spies in the province (You'll need ninja's etc. to counter this) then the enemy cannot work out where your Diaymo is and consequently where to send geishas, ninjas or armies if they're trying to wipe you out by killing hiers etc. The only trouble with this idea is that this would only really be effective against another person. Ah well. Another tactical idea down the drain then http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's harder for a ninja to asassinate if his target is in a castle.

I dunno, but does it make any difference in the cinematics where your Daimyo is if get assasinated??? Cuz I know I've seen somewhere he, or a general, are in either a camp or fort

I thought it's EASIER to assasinate a target in the castle.
Just drop a ninja/geisha onto the enemy taisho, you will see that the percentage of assasinating someone in the castle is higher. (seems real weird, indeed, you would expect a caslte to be better guarded than a camp).

-->Its actually the little icon in the bottom panel. Back in the day I struggled trying to drag an army piece in http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
I would say it easier for a PLAYER to assasinate a dynamo in a castle because you know they are not going to move on the next turn. However, the percentage thing sounds a little strange.
Is there any way,then,that I can stop him dying, or have more heirs. Another question, how do you garrison men in castles?
You must train a Geisha and send to your own Daimyo, in order to get more children and heirs.
P.S.: Ignore the "Geisha killing the Daimyo" video. :rolleyes:

I've been playing Shogun for 15yrs and I've never heard of that. My understanding is that you have a set number of heirs (hard coded for each clan) and that's it. If you don't become Shogun before your last heir dies...you lose:shrug:

I hear you. On the other hand, it was made in response to a 14-year old question. There's very little chance of the original poster being confused by it.

This.
Many people gave the correct answer already. Plus, what I said can't be done, so there is no way you mess with someone's game.
And in fact, even sos reads it and kills his own Daimyo, he will probably laugh because he must be at least 30 years old now :laugh4:

I never understand this "Don't resurrect posts" rule anyway. I read all the threads gets my attention, plus if there is a thread covers your idea, why don't you use it instead of creating a new one? Especially if the solution is the same over the years.

I never have a problem in "adding" to an old post, if a question remains unanswered ( I have found several on BGG ) or was incorrectly answered ( some of those everywhere )...
The original poster may not read the reply now, but it "tidies things up" ( and I like tidy ). :book2:

Very true - but any newbies might be....

Any new and/or differing answer can confuse ( particularly if one is a newbie ).

This may be true ( I have not checked ), but you would still mess with someone's head...

Umm, this kind of contradicts your last comment..!
he will probably laugh because he must be at least 30 years old now :laugh4:
Maybe or maybe not. If he is like you in personality then yes ; if like me, then no...
As a general thought ; you (Yesugey) have been around the STW forum for some time now, so why are you "currently" posting comments on several very old threads ( 2001/2 starts ), anyway ??

If correct ( untested ), thank god for that !
Can I take it you have "tested" this ( as this answer differs ( somewhat ) from your earlier one ) ??

Fire up a late era game where you can get to Geisha's rather quickly, if you so choose. Then try sending one after your own Daimyo...~:)

I don't see the beef here~:confused: Lord only knows that the number of active members here at the org is dwindling. Under normal circumstances, what you say is proper as it is at most forums I participate in. But AFAIAC, to necro a thread in one of the least posted upon Forums is at least SOME kind of activity.
And when was the last time there was a player new to STW posting here? I'll give you a hint......2013.

There actually isn't any rule forbidding necro-posting. I am usually glad to see old discussions reopened. What I dislike is people necroing threads to post stuff that's been discussed to death in other places - but that isn't really an issue here.

I totally agree. It's not useful to resurrect 10 pages long argument with a simple comment, and see people heating it up again, that's a different case.

If I recall correctly (it's been a long while since I played S:TW) it's simply not possible to target your own generals with ninjas or Geishas. You could do this in M:TW, but not in S:TW.
I'll test it myself sometime on my last campaign game save ( one turn before Victory ). I should have 1/2 Geisha's available...
Blast ! ~:mecry: My last game was a MI one and I didn't build any Geisha's ( I deleted the rest of my saves ) ... :embarassed:
Ergo : I can't test this...:oops:

You can pick Tokugawa 1580 Campaign, and can have a Geisha only by building buildings and ending turns.

No-ones memory is perfect... :stare: ( :bounce: )
What I always fail to understand is why "people" persist in quoting previous inconcise "answers", rather than directly answering the exact question put. A straight Yes / No or Tested / Untested would have been sufficient ( and easier /shorter ) here. ~:confused:

Because I never "tested" it in a traditional sense, which would have required coming at it from multiple clans (which would answer the question of whether a particular clan or all clans could do it), and I really couldn't see why anyone would want to kill off your Daimyo (or an heir) when you have a limited number of them:shrug:
My experience was one time. I wasn't paying attention to my heirs 'coming of age' date, and ended up with an heir who was a Musket unit. Too late to change, and not knowing at the time that heirs were not limitless, I attempted to send a ninja to assassinate him. Can't do it......
Your suggusted "traditional" test is truly a full test ; however, IMHO, that is "beyond" the ( basic ) test required here ( which you have already clearly done )... :bow:
As stated before ( and considering your last reply ), a "Yes" or "Tested" would have sufficed, and would have been accurate, concise and unambiguous. ~:cool:

a "Yes" or "Tested" would have sufficed, and would have been accurate, concise and unambiguous
A one-off example (which I never attempted again) is not a test, IMO, which is what you were asking for, ie 'Can I take it you have "tested" this'. So if you are now satisfied, then that's that ~:smoking:
As "stated" PREVIOUSLY - It is enough for me... :2thumbsup:
