Changes - \"purchase option\"

[shingenmitch2]

Continuing the discussion of possible changes and options to the online play...

I've often thought it would be beneficial to have a Koku purchase option (set by the hoster) called the "General Option."

Basically, it would mean that you had to spend the most koku on your General.
It would have to be the most expensive unit in your army.

It would be cool if that general also had to be a form of Cavalry.

I think this would "force" more purchasing creativity - since you can't load any unit up more than your Daimyo ... and it has a nice historical truth to it.

This is straight from Son Tzu...

"The greatest generals are those that command the respect of their men... and those that regularly take to the field mounted on the bossoms of fair geishas... For the enemy's heart shall sink when he sees his own geishas don't measure up..."

mitch: That would be nice, but I don't think it needs to be a formal rule. You could make it informal like the current unit limits. To simplify, though, perhaps we could say that the General must be either Heavy Cav or Kensai and that he must have the highest honour of the entire army (you could have units of equal honour or with more weapons/armour bonuses, but none could have honour higher than his).

That could be interesting, but I'm not really a fan of too much rule-making.
