So for some families there might be just be less heirs implemented between 1550 and 1560, for instance? :)

I did use the 'train nothing but unit x you want your heir to be' trick before. However, because I never really experienced trouble keeping my family alive in the past, I didn't even bother looking at how many heirs I had etc. I just enjoyed sending my daimyo into big risk, and I used my heirs as if they were random generals. It battle situation needed them to go beserk, I'd tell them to! :P

Btw, I do have MTW:VI. And I do plan on installing Samurai Warlords. Thing is, I want Multiplayer to work as well. Logging in to servers has been impossible for me since I got on a new computer two years ago. I'm currently trying to set up a Virtual PC running Win98SE to give Samurai Warlords another try. Stay tuned, I'll get it done some day! ;)
