Seppuku

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

I just figured out how to force your generals to do it. You just disband them.


I've gone through playing Shogun, RotS, and many modded campaigns for so long, and I just figured this out. I've never disbanded a general until just now.

[Dynamo11]

You can disband a general?! Never knew that

[Biggles]

Why would you though?

If you have no need for him, let him stay in a settlement somewhere, won't be doing any harm now will he?

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

I just did it. I had incited a rebellion in an enemy province, then, when they had destroyed the army of the rival clan, I forced them to become my vassal.

The only problem was that there were still rebels all over his province, so I convinced most of the rebel force, including the general, to come over to my side. When I used that to destroy the rest of the rebels, I decided I didn't need it anymore, and disbanded it. Then, I got a message saying that "A general has commited Seppuku because the daimyo commanded" or something similar.


This was in FotS though.... Maybe you can't do it in Shogun?

@Biggles: He was way off on an island, he costed money, and he had very low loyalty. I figured I'd just get rid of him. Save myself some possible trouble.

[Brain_in_a_vat]

You can do it in Shogun 2.

[Sir Furlong]

Back in my day you had to get your assassins to take care of pesky generals and family members.

[Humble Warrior]

You can do it in Shogun 2.

Well, well I had no idea. I`ve been backstabbed by disloyal Generals a couple of times even having them switch sides just before a battle was to begin! Never knew I could order them to get rid of themselves.

[Captain Arrrgh!]

I wish it were more dramatic. I don't want a peaceful picture of a well tended gravestone, I want a graphic of the seppuka contemplating his wakizashi while his kaishakunin stands over him with sword raised.

It's supposed to be a somber moment, after all.

I know, right!??!

I've been playing for so long and I've never even THOUGHT to disband a general.


I'm so used to the "General death ships" of Rome and M2TW...

[Captain Arrrgh!]

Gad zooks! Like the floating British penal ships from the revolution. That's just cruel .

In Rome and Med2 I just send them to the border to go senile and joust at windmills or something.

Haha. I used them as suicide heavy cavalry, or to weaponize the plague.

[Toph]

Likewise, OP. I wasn't aware of the option until now.

I had two generals with wavering loyalties (1 loyalty star), so I put one on a ship and scuttled it in the middle of the sea. I was going to send the other on a suicide mission against a rival clan, but I later figured out I could force him to commit seppuku by disbanding the unit.

[Cash]

I learn something new every day.

[Strategos Lykos]

yay, just trying it to some unlucky random general! Finally, no more death ship for useless FM!!!

I'm surprised I never really figure this out... too much playing M2TWK and RTW

[Celtic Shogun]

It makes me Feel a bit like Stalin

[Adreno]

my best keep getting assassinated by trolling 6 star shinobis but i guess i had it coming by killing a clans daimyo for 20 turns in a row with my shinshi ishi

Like this perhaps?



Or you could try googling for videos of a guy called Yukio Mishima
