Questions about Shogun - Total War

You know you can play the rebels faction too, right?

Yeah I tried it once........it is a challenge to be sure.

In the early versions 1st Geisha = game over; they were just too powerful. Later on they tweaked build times and made the geisha less powerful.......but still formidable. Winning with these is the lazy way out though, since when you kill the heirs and leader their empire splits into uncoordinated rebels and lands formerly controlled by other factions. One game virtually the whole map declared allegiance to me just because I killed a leader with no heir.

yeah, there were a lot of exploits that could easily win the game in shogun. i didn't have the patience for geishas though, shinobi blitz worked fine for me.

Only problem was the amount of time it takes to move 50 shinboi between two ports. . .

Actually I only won with geishas once, because it was more fun to clash armies together But you have to watch out for the computer doing the same thing to you.

It's too bad an invading army can't burn down structures.
