Thanks for the help Nigel.

The only thing I'd wonder about is how to decide if a samurai unit is not owned by anyone. Does than mean noone cliams it? What if someone claims it but seem unlikely? I don't have any problem with people stretching to get ownership of a samurai unit but I wonder what it takes for one to go to Daimyo control.

Well, a “natural” cause for samurai units coming under the daimyo’s control would be if the nobleman dies (in battle, by assassination or whatever reason). His samurai would then fall under the daimyo’s command and he could decide if he wants to keep them or use them to reward another deserving clan member.


If we do want to play with ownership of samurai units, I guess we will need a way to keep track of them in public. Perhaps each player could post and maintain a post with his personal game information. Something like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player: Nigel
In game character: Sugawara Akitada
Position: Metsuke (overseeing Sanuki)
Influence Points: 3

Samurai Retainers:
1 bow samurai, garrisoned at Tosa
1 katana samurai, serving under general Ishikawa (Phonicsmonkey)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Of course things would be much easier, if we could give units individual names, like we could in NTW. But I dont think this is possible in S2TW anymore.

Sigh. Them and removing functions previously available...
