I don't know if I agree with that... I had fun fighting my way up from nothing - I accidentally 'let' Nobuhide destroy all of my resources (spear dojo, large castle, horse dojo) etc. 10 years in as the Mori, and had to fight my way up from the brink of disaster, and after about 45 years I had taken Kyushu and Shikoku, and was at last in a position (after having 9 out of every 10 years come in as 'down by 25%' koku) to finally make a move against the Oda, when lo and behold, a geisha comes along, kills me, and sits in the castle that every heir is magically transported to, and offs them one by one.... anyway, I'd just like the "option" of playing a game without Geisha.
