Protecting your General from Ninja !

[SuicideSquad]

I've just had a level 5 General bumped off by a Ninja, apart from retiring a general to Stud, how can I protect them from the pesky assasins.

I've just started building my Own Ninja, and don't yet have any Geisha.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Shinobi, border forts, and ninja.

Shinobi, border forts, and ninja.

Garrison size seems to have an effect on capturing them as well.

[Togakure]

Wow, that must have been a high-honor ninja--generals of Rank 4 and above rarely get killed by ninja.

Keeping defensive shinobi and ninja units in the province where your generals are will significantly increase the chance of capturing/killing attacking ninja. A Border Fort (not a watchtower ...) works well at this too. None of these have any effect on geisha. They must be killed by ninja or another geisha.

I haven't heard about garrision size affecting ninja at all. I'm doubtful, but can't say for sure.

Mus, I think you're right in that, i've had my Uesugi Kenshin killed during my first campaign!

ninja's really suck i they are not yours!

I now am shimazu, i'm quite protected by my position in Japan, so have money to make one area for only ninja's shinobi's and more!

I mostly use ninja's for defending my own lands, i they kill enemy spies, they get better and i use them to kill enemy generals or infiltrating castle's ~:eek:

Later!

i usually find border forts in all regions stops every single assassin, only my poor emmisarys who visit foriegn lands die by them.

always good to keep a giesha handy just incase the enemy builds one or you'll be moving units all over the place whilst building it/up to it.

I use Ninjas to take out high-brass generals once one clan has been confined to 1-2 last provinces and weak. I won't commit any more armies to get a bloody fight to the end, especially if their last general is more than 3-star and has a 500+ men army.

I'll systematically attack that general (or Daimyo or heir) until I kill him eventually making bribing or conquering an easier job.

Another good [backstabbing] strategy is to ally with a clan and then exterminate its head. Perhaps some of their provinces will become yours after they're dead.

Geisha's ....

During my shimazu-campaign hojo made several geisha's :help: :help:

against them:

i especially used ninja's against them, cause they are cheaper faster trained!

if you train a geisha (4 seasons!!!!) it will die killing the enemy , i hate that and don't use them :furious3: !

bye! :bow:

[Kensai]

Your Geisha takes 4 seasons to train? You're lucky...
Mine takes 16! Seriously!

[Drisos]

Kensai, is that true?? ~:confused:

with season i mean turn! and it really took 4 turns ~:confused:

Maybe you have another version or something like that??! ~:confused:

tell me, i'd like to know, maybe others have the same problem as you and i can make them in 4 turns ~D ~D ~:cool: ~:cool: ~D ~D

hahaha!!!

[LittleGrizzly]

i seem to remember a giesha taking 8 season to be trained, could be wrong on that.

[Drisos]

that could be too, but it's four in my version! ~:cool:
