dissapering heirs

[MiniKiller]

they just dissapear which is odd, my 18 year old daimyo (shimazo) had a 16 year old heir i gave him a unit, then i had anotehr son, after one year i check his status, he was gone, hmmmmm.

I ran into the same problem. Playing Shim had 5 heirs.... checked a few minutes later...and *poof* none listed. However, they still remained on the board and took care of things when I departed this earth.

Consider them "undercover"... officially, they do not exist, but when you need them, they've got your back.

I guess they are in hiding to avoid assassination.

maybe so, least hes still there i cant belive shimazo's starting daimyo is so darn young!

[carnage]

the reason why they dont show is if your original diamyo died (witch i assume cause ur diamyo 18 with 16 heir) and his son takes over all the heirs r no longer fathered... if u look at the icon with tall man and little boy eeeehhhh u put 2 n2 together and assume that aint his older bro.. go shimazu and tekeda

[MiniKiller]

no he didnt die at all i started with a 16 year old daimyo (or 18) and his "son" or heir was 2 years behind then at 20 he had anotehr son (my daimyo) then poof gone, hmmm

[carnage]

so u started with a son 2 years yunger than u ...odd!?!?!

[Papewaio]

No thats not correct, his heir two years younger. The heirs can be your son, brother, cousin or even adopted.

In fact I think you will find in some Oda campaigns the Daimyo is like 32 and his brother is 34.

ya i found out a while ago that when the diamyo dies he picks the youngest eligible hier

[MizuKokami]

did you put your heir in an army with your daimyo. cause i've lost heirs by them being killed in battle when they were in my daimyo's army.

[MiniKiller]

nope infact i didnt have a battle at all yet...
