My Daimyo keeps on dying of an illness, I think he is being poisoned, I built border watch towers and forts to protect him, I also posted Ninja's and Shinobi's in the province he was in, what more can I do?

Sos believe me, you WILL know when ur Daimyo is beeing assinated... The reason why he keeps dieing is he age. Try to click on ur daimyo and see how old he is. If you have had the daimyo for looong time and he dies, the heirs will also be of old age, and within a few years the will die too.

Is there any way,then,that I can stop him dying, or have more heirs. Another question, how do you garrison men in castles?
Sorry SOS theres no life support system to keep your Daimyo's mojo going indefinatly,its all part of the game.
To put your unit in the castle,drag the unit icon over top of the castle,and drop by realessing your left hand mouse button.

Clink, I'm ashamed of you, sending the poor newb off to torture himself for hours on end!
You CAN'T put units in castles! *Period*. Don't even try. And it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference anyway. If you are attacked and want to retreat to the castle, that option is open no matter where the troop is.
Well, actually, with the x-pack, you CAN get your guys back into castles, but only by retraining them. Of course here again, there is no point in getting them into the castle, you are retraining them solely for the various benefits that that entails.

kahn, yes you can...I cananyway...but I know I'm special http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
but seriously, click on an army, click on units within an army, then drag them into a castle...
dammit. Now I feel really stupid.
rrrg.
*sulks off*

No worry Khan7,I,ve put myself in the same position before.

no worries matt - it is an *entirely* useless feature http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
Actually its not ENTIRELY useless....
sometimes you have a huge army in the province and it gets crowded sometimes - so u can use a castle army to hold a few extra units and help the overcrowding situation.
Qapla!

"A mind is a terrible thing to taste."
You can also use it to help hide a Diaymo. If the enemy hold no bordering provinces and have no spies in the province (You'll need ninja's etc. to counter this) then the enemy cannot work out where your Diaymo is and consequently where to send geishas, ninjas or armies if they're trying to wipe you out by killing hiers etc. The only trouble with this idea is that this would only really be effective against another person. Ah well. Another tactical idea down the drain then http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Fight first, then scream 'Doh, why did I forget my Kensi!'
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's harder for a ninja to asassinate if his target is in a castle.

I dunno, but does it make any difference in the cinematics where your Daimyo is if get assasinated??? Cuz I know I've seen somewhere he, or a general, are in either a camp or fort
------------------
Life doesn't seem through bad with Led Zepplin floating through the ears
I thought it's EASIER to assasinate a target in the castle.
Just drop a ninja/geisha onto the enemy taisho, you will see that the percentage of assasinating someone in the castle is higher. (seems real weird, indeed, you would expect a caslte to be better guarded than a camp).
-->Its actually the little icon in the bottom panel. Back in the day I struggled trying to drag an army piece in http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
I would say it easier for a PLAYER to assasinate a dynamo in a castle because you know they are not going to move on the next turn. However, the percentage thing sounds a little strange.
You must train a Geisha and send to your own Daimyo, in order to get more children and heirs.Quote:

I've been playing Shogun for 15yrs and I've never heard of that. My understanding is that you have a set number of heirs (hard coded for each clan) and that's it. If you don't become Shogun before your last heir dies...you lose:shrug:Quote:

I hear you. On the other hand, it was made in response to a 14-year old question. There's very little chance of the original poster being confused by it.Quote:

I never understand this "Don't resurrect posts" rule anyway. I read all the threads gets my attention, plus if there is a thread covers your idea, why don't you use it instead of creating a new one? Especially if the solution is the same over the years.Quote:

Maybe or maybe not. If he is like you in personality then yes ; if like me, then no...Quote:

As a general thought ; you (Yesugey) have been around the STW forum for some time now, so why are you "currently" posting comments on several very old threads ( 2001/2 starts ), anyway ??
[ When I post on old Threads (BGG mainly), it's usually as a first time viewer/reader (on the Rules (questions) section). Detail as posted/advised elsewhere herein... ]
If correct ( untested ), thank god for that !Quote:

Fire up a late era game where you can get to Geisha's rather quickly, if you so choose. Then try sending one after your own Daimyo...~:)Quote:

I don't see the beef here~:confused: Lord only knows that the number of active members here at the org is dwindling. Under normal circumstances, what you say is proper as it is at most forums I participate in. But AFAIAC, to necro a thread in one of the least posted upon Forums is at least SOME kind of activity.Quote:

And when was the last time there was a player new to STW posting here? I'll give you a hint......2013.
I got bored at work, that's why :laugh4:Quote:

There actually isn't any rule forbidding necro-posting. I am usually glad to see old discussions reopened. What I dislike is people necroing threads to post stuff that's been discussed to death in other places - but that isn't really an issue here.Quote:

I totally agree. It's not useful to resurrect 10 pages long argument with a simple comment, and see people heating it up again, that's a different case.Quote:

[ Just observations ~:cool: ]
Because I never "tested" it in a traditional sense, which would have required coming at it from multiple clans (which would answer the question of whether a particular clan or all clans could do it), and I really couldn't see why anyone would want to kill off your Daimyo (or an heir) when you have a limited number of them:shrug:Quote:

My experience was one time. I wasn't paying attention to my heirs 'coming of age' date, and ended up with an heir who was a Musket unit. Too late to change, and not knowing at the time that heirs were not limitless, I attempted to send a ninja to assassinate him. Can't do it......
Your suggusted "traditional" test is truly a full test ; however, IMHO, that is "beyond" the ( basic ) test required here ( which you have already clearly done )... :bow:
As stated before ( and considering your last reply ), a "Yes" or "Tested" would have sufficed, and would have been accurate, concise and unambiguous. ~:cool:
A one-off example (which I never attempted again) is not a test, IMO, which is what you were asking for, ie 'Can I take it you have "tested" this'. So if you are now satisfied, then that's that ~:smoking:Quote:
a "Yes" or "Tested" would have sufficed, and would have been accurate, concise and unambiguous
As "stated" PREVIOUSLY - It is enough for me... :2thumbsup:
