Daimyo longevity...

[Drisos]

The game continues !

My Daimyo is now 120 Years old ( @ Spring 1670 ).
Lessons learned : 1) Do not attack with Cavalry in Winter ( they get knackered before the action starts )
2) Do not attack with Gold Armoured units in Winter ( ditto above )

Hey DEB8,

That is interesting! I don't think I've ever played a campaign up until anywhere near that date. I assume that the game has a finite list of family members of each clan, and it has coded in that the last generations won't die from old age, to prevent ending campaign by the list running out, as it were...

I think Sengoku Jidai (the period of widespread war depicted in Shogun) only lasted until late 16th century. The Tokugawa Shogunate started after the battle of Sekigahara in 1600.

Btw do you mean you think The Armory makes units vulnerable to faster fatigue in Winter? I would've sworn this is a trait specific to Naginata (Infantry) and Heavy Cavalry (both units require an Armory though).

That’s pretty impressive! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Daimyo live that long, but apparently it depends on which clan you are in the game. The Shimazu seems to have some perks longevity wise, but I wonder if all of this is simply luck or even keeping the last few battles nice and calm.

Thanks, It was a long "march" across the game board map - I did not expect to make to the end either...

I do not think the longevity is limited to the Shimazu clan, but they may get a better shot at it than the others... BTW the last few battles were far from "nice and calm", but I did keep my Daimyo out of them altogeather if I could, or if not, out of the action at least ( barring pursuits ) !

Not the Armoury per se, just Gold level Armour, or so it appeared. My Naginata (Infantry) and Heavy Cavalry units did suffer somewhat more than the rest ; although all Cavalry units suffered really. Combined with the long march across the battlefield of course, it was lethal...
