I know with MTW demo coming out, SW/MI's popularity is taking a dive, but still...

Wondering if anyone has managed to disable the petty Geisha?

I found that once the AI managed to build citadel, they would shoot directly to Geisha house, then basically wasting a completely well-developed province on producing Geishas. So instead of popping out 8 full units of combat troops that are armed to the teath, they choose ONE petite woman armed with hairpin. And that, makes the end game so boring.

Look up where Geisha house is in building choice.txt then reduce the weighting to 0 or 1, that should do it. It's the 15th value now I've looked it up.

And Legendary Tea House is 23rd value to make doubly sure!

Alternatively try three pints of sake and a vindaloo curry. Can't believe I missed such an obvious joke.

Of course! I have been thinking along this line, but failed to identify which is which.

How did you find out?

Thanks a bunch!

Found it! Folks.

It's all in Target's old post. And the information has been sitting there, but I just failed to notice!!! Geee.

Anyway, here is his link:
www.totalwar.org/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000391.html (http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000391.html)

Do as what Wavesword said, change the numbers of the 15th, and 23rd to 0, should do the trick.

And another thing, don't produce your own Geisha! Otherwise the AIs will start popping out ninjas like there is no tomorrow. They might choose to build Geisha house as well.

-------------------------

Besides playing with Building_Choice.txt, one can also choose to alter the unit_choice.txt. Such as decrease the weight to build "expensive" units such as Kensai and BN. They are fun for human players, but not cost-effective for computer players.

The best way I've found of disabling the Geisha is simply to play quickly.. I have never ever ever ever encountered a Geisha.

Then you won't be able to use those +3 honor, + 3 weapon, + 3 armor, +3 moral, +1 discipline troops.

It's just a matter of playing style.

I used to run across wonin geisha in STW when there wasn't the option to finish early (no I couldn't let that last little pocket of webels be, it'd keep me awake at nights). Starting campaigns on expert further up the tech tree makes them a bit commoner.
