    Another thing no one has mentioned- the Gieshas in this game are not historically acurate. Gieshas were actually wives held by samuria, higher lords, etc. I am almost positive that they were not the killing machines Total War made them out to be. :D

    This is true. I don't think of them as geishas, but as kunouchi, which were female ninja. As assassins, they were trained to use all the advantages of being women in a man's world ... and they were quite effective. My guess is the makers of Shogun used the term "geisha" because we westerners are more familiar with it.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
