And I was thinking, maybe the possibility never existed, and the Easter egg is the score itself... Nay, that would have been lowly... :ranting:

Yes I once became hatamoto infiltrating my master's manor and killing him --I never manage to prevent the alarm's raising, so I had to duel him. The text was pretty cool, something like, "You scan your master's eyes for anger, but you find only sadness. You draw your sword, your hand trembling; your master's hand is firm on the hilt." For a second I felt remorse... But duels are my speciality. As ever with dishonourable acts, if you don't get caught you're not dishonoured. In that game I was playing a dinasty of lowly immoral creeps, but the daimyo got killed in a campaign before I had the time to repeat the manoeuvre with him. :angry: You can either attack the daimyo's castle with your army (I must try it some day), or infiltrate it yourself and assasinate/duel him, but with the hatamoto only the latter option exists.

And, taking into account the difficulty of having "unsurpassed" honour, especially in the later stages of the game, an hypothesis of mine is that if you (or your dinasty) have committed dishonourable acts, this limits your honour to "extreme", even if you were never caught, no matter how many bandits and duelists you waste.
