@CMDRFandragon Remember, this was the early days of the Total War Franchise, so the damned thing was broken as all hell in hindsight. Geishas could technically'fail' but it just equated to a text screen appearing saying "Your geisha could not get close to the target." and then you could just keep trying until you succeed or a ninja gets a lucky shot at her.
Was the first dude's head a balloon? There's no way such a small knife (or whatever she throws at him) would make someone bleed so much from the beggining.
Geisha (芸者?), Geiko (芸子) or Geigi (芸妓) are traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance.
Geisha, like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (gei) meaning "art" and 者 (sha) meaning "person" or "doer". The most literal translation of geisha into English would be "artist" or "performing artist". Another name for geisha is geiko (芸子), which is usually used to refer to geisha from western Japan, which includes Kyoto.
Apprentice geisha are called maiko (舞子 or 舞妓), literally "dance child") or hangyoku (半玉), "half-jewel" (meaning that they are paid half of the wage of a full geisha), or by the more generic term o-shaku (御酌), literally "one who pours (alcohol)". The white make-up and elaborate kimono and hair of a maiko is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to begin as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha.
Either way, however, usually a year's training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community. However, those who do go through the maiko stage can enjoy more prestige later in their professional lives.
The only modern maiko that can apprentice before the age of eighteen are in Kyoto. So on average, Tokyo hangyoku (who typically begin at 18) are slightly older than their Kyoto counterparts (who usually start at 15).
Historically, geisha often began the earliest stages of their training at a very young age, sometimes as early as at 3 or 5 years. The early shikomi (servant) and minarai (watching apprentice) stages of geisha training lasted years, which is significantly longer than in contemporary times.
It is still said that geisha inhabit a separate reality which they call the karyūkai or "the flower and willow world." Before they disappeared the courtesans were the colorful "flowers" and the geisha the "willows" because of their subtlety, strength, and grace.
geisha is an entertainer and dancers and they're like high blood lines you find them with a warlord dancing for him, entertaining and sipping tea, THEY ARE NOT ASSASSINS SO DONT BE AN IDIOT AND BELIVE EVREY1 SAYS THEY ARE
geishas may come male or female, this vid is a ninja (kuinochi) disguising as a geisha to assassinate.
the first 2 have to be the most polite assassinations ever. Look at herr, closing doors when she leaves the room. Obviously she wasn't raised in a barn.
You stupid idiot ,,, in Japan, during the feudal times, there were a lot of Portuguese sailors that sailed to Japan and among them there were also missionaries that brought Christianity with them.
I still remember the tune at the end of this video. I was too young to properly enjoy Shogun TW when I got it, fortunately along came Rome TW, and I've been utterly hooked on the series ever since. Here's to hoping Shogun 2 is better than Empire. ;P
@1995Pdr They were highly educated mistresses, used to serve medieval Japanese lords. They were mostly used for entertainment, maintaining the lord and for political affairs (since they were educated enough to actually carry out political missions). However, they could be used to assassinate opposing rulers, since they had skills in some martial arts (though not as much as ninjas), and no one would suspect them.
Some exist today, but they are very few in number.
@TuckerTheInsolent only way to kill a geisha was to move your heirs around out of her reach, while chasing her with top quality ninjas and other geishas.
Geishas can fail to kill their target in a given turn, but do not die if they fail like ninja do, and will continue their efforts on the next turn. They will continue to pursue their target until they succeed, are reassigned to another target, or are killed by another geisha, or by ninja. There are still a few gurus at the totalwar.org forum if you want to debate this.
lol i half expected that bomb the geisha served to the priest to have acme written on it, these assasinations are so ridiculous it could have been in looney toons

Well geisha can be killed by other geisha or high rank ninja.
When you have geisha in game It means you won the game beacuse she will try to assassinate enemy until she succeed.
So its on of wrong things in 1st Shogun, also AI cheats at the end making lot of soldiers but poor quality.
