Shogun: Total War - Warlord Edition Cheats

Use the following trick to make your Daimyo a Rank 6 General and 9 Honor Unit. You can easily max out your Daimyo's stats by exploiting the best feature of the Daimyo; his 10 Elite Heavy Cavalry Royal Guards are always automatically refilled at no cost at the end of the battle (with no loss of honor). This makes the Daimyo a very formidable opponent early in the game (when most clans and Ronin do not have cavalry). At the very beginning of the game, your Daimyo can even take out 60 Yari Samurai alone (assuming that they are not supported by other units). Increase your Daimyo's General Rank by fighting many battles. The more you win, the higher rank you will be. To achieve Rank 6, you will need to have 32 more wins than losses. For example, if you have 5 losses, you will need at least 37 wins to stay at Rank 6. Start and attack a nearby Ronin province which only has one unit (60 men) defending it using only your Daimyo. Your opponent will never retreat because they outnumber you. Enter manual battle mode. Do not use automatic mode, as you will always lose because of a glitch in the game. Win the battle (60 men of any class should pose no challenge to the Daimyo). After you win, the province's loyalty rating will be very low (70% or less) because the size your occupying army is only 11 (Daimyo and Royal Guards), and will likely revolt the next turn. This will allow you fight another battle against more weak units. Rebels are usually one group of 60 Yari Ashigeru or Samurai Archers. You can repeat this process with minimum risk of losing your Daimyo and achieve Rank 6 General and 9 Honor quickly. Afterwards, your Rank 6 General will boost the Honor all accompanying units in his group by 3. This will dramatically increase your battle odds and reduce your casualty ratings.
