I like assaulting starved-out casltes (or castles that didn't have much in 'em to begin with :-P) with solely my Daimyo unit and usu. one unit of emergency back-up (I learned that second one the hard way, lol).

If you can pull off a win, and gain honor, without losing more than about 3 or maybe 4 out of your hatamoto, then you usually get to keep the honor.. if not, then you get an essentially casualty-free victory! (Daimyo casualties are always regenerated for free!)

I dunno, it's just sort of an odd hobby I have, boosting my hatamoto's honor..

I think my record is base 5, or maybe 6 (I forget). At any rate base 5 is excellent, and if you get a good Daimyo to add 2 or 3 points to that.. well you get the picture.
