    The guy who gets the honour as to survive.
    Only has to be one guy.

    From deepest darkest memory much like going up in generals rank you need ~n^2 kills per honour rank. And that you need an honour 3 guy.

    Honour / kills hth / ranged fire
    0 = 0 kills / 0 kills
    1 = 1 kills / 2 kills
    2 = 4 kills / 8 kills
    3 = 8 kills / 16 kills

    Now to make things complicated I think the honour of the defeated opponent is used too in the same value. So a honour 2 opponent is equivalent to killing 4 0 rank opponents.

    So I think you have to have a surviving warrior with 8 kills (or 16 in archery). Or a single kill of a rank 3 opponent.

    This needs to be tested since it is years since I have played STW:
    Now things that will speed it up is fighting higher honour opponents. You could start with higher honour too. And that has a double effect... your honour 1 warriors need to get 7 kills, also if they are killed the enemy will now have higher honour and will be worth more.

    So an honour 1 warrior should only need to kill 1 honour 0 enemy and 3 honour 1 warriors to get the swordsmen event.

    This is about as hazy as a fog enshrouded map and tenous as grip of holding on as when that fog is filled with monks surrounding your Ashi gunners mind you... so take it with a pound of salt.

    Many of the Honour 2 men who killed one or two opponents stayed at rank 2. I speculate that the ones who did increase in rank killed a freshly minted rank 2 opponent (rank 0 killed rank 2 went to rank 2, then killed by one of the original rank 2 comrades).

    I believe it is a binary formula where going up one rank takes;

    2^(current rank) honour kills [hk].

    Routing opponents = 0 honour
    Honour Kill rating of an opponent = 2^(honour rank)

    So a rank 0 opponent is worth one hk.
    And a rank 2 opponent is worth 4 hks.

    To get to rank 1 from rank 0 takes one hk.
    To get to rank 2 from rank 1 takes two hks.
    To get to rank 3 from rank 2 takes four hks.

    So if you kill someone of higher honour who is not routing you will go to their rank.

    If you kill someone of equal rank you will go up one rank.

    Daimyo are honour rank 5. So kill one and you will progress to at least rank 5.

    Generals are sometimes rank 3. So if they die they will trigger the legendary swordsmen event (assuming their killer survives)

    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.
