I am playing with the Takeda, and I got Shingen to 95-0 before the campaign ended. So I was wondering...Is there a rank 8, or 9 or, god forbid, 10. The general would have to be what, 128-0, 256-0, and 512-0 to get that right? So does it even exist? I mean, who can possibly play 128+ battles to get there. I got Shingen to 95-0 by using him as my only attacking general, everybody else just moved into whatever he vacated.
Any answers?
In board clean-up time (after the inevitable "gone Ronin" of late game) have your gen attack the province..then resolve the seige = 2 wins per province. I have gotten Shingen to honor 8...it was one of my first posts-ever (I was so proud http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif).
There is a difference between honour and rank m8. Higest rank for me is rank 6 cause l am using a lot of huge amries http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I used Shimazu and he die at the age of 128 years old and his rank was 8. How I did this?! Easy, when he gets quite old (80 years old), keep saving every season. If he dies load up the last save. Now he won't die for a few years. When he dies again load the save up again. I kept on doing this untill he was 128 and had won 100+ battles, and I couldn't be bother any longer, so I let him die (finally http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif ) and his hier took over.
However, I could never get up to rank 9. Does it really exist http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/confused.gif ?

Hehe... Quite a powerful guy. At the age of 100+ still being able to ride a horse and kill enemies.... cool!

Again copy-pasting my own post from another thread: Quote It's the good old binary sequence, depending on the number of battles won minus the number of battles lost.
1 = rank 1
2 = rank 2
4 = rank 3
8 = rank 4
16 = rank 5
32 = rank 6
64 = rank 7
128 = rank 8
256 would be rank 9, but this is impossible as the counter only goes up to 255. "It's a programming thing."[/QUOTE]
Rank 8 = +4 honor to all troops under the general.

http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif Ha ha... You are right Force, it will be kind of funny seeing a 128 years old grandad going to war.

ooooooooooo... +4 honor bonus from Shingen tacked on to +3 Honor Monks, Archers, Yari the Mounted Archers, Yari Samurai, +2 Honor HC and Naggy.... Me like (too bad it takes so long to get him there that I won't be able to fully enjoy the fruits of my labors http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif )
Teng Fuh:
Doable "out of the box": legendary spear dojo produced YS from Yamashiro, stacked with Rank 8 Shingen or Ieyasu:
+2 for the dojo
+1 for Yamashiro
+4 for general
= +7 to honor - as produced.
Or HC produced in Shinano with L. dojo and L. armoury, L. swordsmith: Cavalry that could charge machine guns or take a bridge crossing to hell itself.

You would think that they learned from the Y2K bug and allowed more that 8 bits to store the number of wins. Does it roll over to 1 when you hit 257? They probably figured no Taisho would live long enough to hit that type of victory count (which is probably a very safe assumption).
