View Full Version : Prolific happy humping Hojos...

I'm nearly finished Barocca's JDD2 campaign (as Takeda on expert...ahem) and have all but two provinces; one held by Hojo, and the other by the Mongols. Both are so badly depleted & surrounded that I'm at the "play and try stupid stuff stage". I dropped an honor 5 Geisha into Hojo's province, whacked him and boom, he's succeded by another heir! Mind you, he'e only got about a hundred men in the whole province and none are marked as heirs.

I did this about a half dozen more times with the same result. Whack, succession, whack succession...and so on. Old Hojo must have gotten busy a whooooole lot!

I guess this is the hard wired Hojo survival glitch that Barrocca talked about. The point of this post is to let all JDD players know that you can take off the kid gloves when dealing with Hojo in any battle. Unless he's trapped in seige in his last province before you've wiped out the Mongols, they'll be plenty more Hojo heirs waiting in the wings!
Happy hunting!

It would be nice if you could switch historical births on and off. So it could be possible to have each clan randomly create a lineage.

Also a random strategy map would add some variablity to the SP campaign.

Random strategy map not possible with current engine.

You wanna start talking about a LOTTA things first before taking this big step.

Good idea, no doubt, just a reality check..

It is 6 weeks to Xmas so I might as well start wishing http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Reality Check in a computer game. Parity not equal to one. Cannot compute http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif.
