Here's a few more questions;

1. Do units ever recover fatigue through rest? In other words, if I pull a unit out of the battle, can I expect that they'll recover any of their lost energy points?

2. I've used Shinobi in enemy provinces to lower peasant loyalty and increase the odds of an insurrection. Is that strategy worthwhile in Rebel provinces? From what I've observed, the loyalty level will go no lower than 100 in those provinces.

3. It seems like the overall skill level of ronin/rebels is quite poor. But if they possess a general with say, four stars--can I expect that they and their units will have the same skill/morale as an army from a named clan having the same level of general?

4. How do Shinobi gain levels of experience? Is it by residing in enemy provinces or by discovering ninja?
