Creating Heirs

My original Daimyo dies leaving six heirs the oldest being 92 and the youngest is 60. How do I create more Heirs?? Do I have to have the youngest in command and hope that he gets 'busy'???? How do I do this???

Surely, you must be kidding... you don't know how to create heirs?!?

So, lets start with the old story of the birds and the bees...

don't forget the most important part
- first you need a member of the opposite sex...

Barocca make sure you specify opposite sex,same species http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
But to answer your question Karlos,the heirs you get are all you get.You have no control over when they appear because they are based on true historical people from history.They are born in this game in the same year they were born in history.If your heirs are that old then you are taking too long to win the campaign,a common mistake we have all made as new players.Be more agressive.

Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so that they look forward to making the trip.

there is a finite number of heirs a clan can have, ever. keeps the game from going into the year 2000 (potentially).

lets face it
u won't ever have a daimyo thats a real shagger

Just a correction of MI I wish to report: Mori Motonari's sons were misteriously removed from the heir list.

Historically they didn't become the daimyo as Motonari past the seat to his grandson, Terumoto. But that's because of Takamoto, the eldest son of Motonari has died.

It is reasonable to list all of Motonari's three famous sons to be heirs. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
