IMDO
Load & Save is for system crashes, power outages etc
It is not a valid tactic.

As a valid tactic it is statistically cheaper just to send fresh ninja (rank 0 to 2, +1 if you are in the right province) at a target rather then risking them by attacking low ranking non targets. The sweet spot for generals (at least the mongols) seem to be rank 3 as above it becomes virtually impossible to knock them off.

Lots of Warhammer 40k and reading Orc... here is a vague interpretation for those who don't speak 40k orcish;

So here is my advice train the damn ninja by assassinating level 0 generals. Always save before you attempt an assassination so if you die load back up your game and try a different target. Sometimes a target that a ninja with honour 6 can’t kill, a ninja with honour 2 can. Do not bother trying to get a ninja to honour 7 because it’ll take so long you could've just gotten a geisha. Geisha can kill what a ninja with honour 7 can with only honour of 3. I also don’t recommend getting a ninja just for spying...[/QUOTE]

Man this is deep! It is like he was praying. No offence though.

I am the law and you can't beat the law.
With all due respect, I'd like to suggest that Dark Ninja throw in the occasional full stop in his posts. Alternatively, getting Papewaio to translate on a regular basis would also help. My head really spun after reading through the original post.

i've wroten MUCH longer posts befor i was bored at the time but anyways you shoughldent
bitch too much about the long posts i've seen much bigger too not just wrotten bigger.also whats with the glitches i've never had any problems from saving a game and loading it back up only problem i've ever had was installing it.
In and of itself this is the single most amusing thread I've read through in a while. Due to my habit of initially skimming anyway I did not notice darkninja's mad voodoo speak until I noticed "translated by" later on.. LOL!!

Ninjas are not effective to be used as counterspy. Shinobi is much better. Border Fort plus one or two shinobi can ensure that no spy get cross the border (except Geishas).

I guess you are talking about shinobi. Shinobi get killed quite often by the enemy counterspy. Shinobi reports are no where near accurate most of the time. I use geishas to spy on enemy provinces.
Btw, save/load tactic won't change the chance of success much or it won't change at all. I only use save/load to cancel the mission and try it later.

I have read much longer posts and I haven't had trouble understanding them. I have written much longer posts also, but I dont know how others judge my way of writing.
Both of your posts combine may be as long as one of my paragraph in my longest post, so they are NOT long posts. However, I really have trouble understanding the message. It is not to say how good or bad your English is, but at least, throw in some punctuations so I don't have to do it myself.

You should learn the basic punctuations, such as (,.-). And for gods sake, please start with a capital after a. !!
