In the original STW shinobi used to gain honour while counterspying when they caught an enemy shinobi/ninja but this does not happen anymore. So how do shinobi gain honour?

hmmm. in my games the shinobi/ninja gain honor for catching enemy spies. you might want to look a little more carefully.
I have been looking carefully, I'm now a fair way into an Oda Sengoku campain. I have defeated Mori, pushed Shimazu back and on the other side I am working on Uesugi, I have had the notice that an enemy shinobi/ninja have been captured quite a few times and last night, to be sure, I checked every single shinobi and ninja and they were all 0 honour. (I haven't used my ninja to kill yet)

I tried a campaign using masses of shinobi to weaken oda. I put 10 or more in several provinces to cause revolts and then when the armise were weak enough I moved in. It took many seasons to accomplish this and while moving shinobi, I noticed a lot of my shinobi were honour 5!!!
I recommend this strategy be used sparingly as I ended up defeated by clans who focussed there resources on more effective strategies.
Did ya happen to have a border fort? If so, it caught the shinobi/ninja instead of your men. It also could have done it if you had one in a NEIGHBORING province - as it acts as a spy (or in this case counterspy) in your prov since next door.
2 spies for the price of .. uhm
2 spies - but u get that extra spy/counterspy in all the surrounding provinces.
Bet you thats what got him.

I don't usually build lots of border forts (although i probably should); i focus on shinobi to start rebellions and counterspy and so forth. From what i can tell, they do gain honor for catching enemy shinobi/ninja.

Shinobi gain honor in much the same way generals do
Kills Honor
0 0
1 1
2 2
4 3
8 4
16 5
etc. etc.
As soon as you start a campaign start work on a province dedicated to shinobi, pump out about 6 at hon 0 and send them by port deep into enemy land(preferebly undefended) the revolt will cause all shinobi to gain a `kill`
its fairly easy to work a team of shinobi up to hon 5 where they will be almost immune to border forts but enemy shinobi may kill them
try to aim to have at least 1 hon 2 shinobi per province and 1 at hon 5 for each important unit, daimyo, heir, good general, etc.
