Yeah, I can't say I have a yobajin retainer either... but I was more dissappointed we couldn't speak out against trying to team up with geijin. It doesn't send the right message to march on the capitol with foreign allies in a civil war...

Mirumoto Takezo supported mercy for the Yobanjin captives (and has the retainer, whom he loves to bring with him to very stuffy courtly events, just to ruffle the dandyish courtiers ) I also "suggested" the mercy option to my fellow Dragon, so I'll *assume* at least a fair number complied and have the retainer! Of course, negotiating with the Yobanjin may be a bit *shocking* to the delicate sensibilities of Rokugan's coddled courtly classes - I will remind everyone that, fortunately, we *do* have fine Dragon spouses available for eventual return to full respectability... As for heads, I had hundreds just from the battle - I shouldn't think that too many people needed to farm the "execution option"?

It doesn't send the right message to march on the capitol with foreign allies in a civil war... I'm leery of it myself (too aware of Roman history ;D); given an option to counsel against involving the Yobanjin, I would do so. That said, Takezo actually argued in the past that he felt the Yobanjin were basically honorable foes, so it's somewhat apropos that *he* might be tasked with negotiating with them.

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but by the time I gold-mastered the "Attack the Yobanjin General" job, I only had a little over 50 heads. I also wanted to support Kaneka, but the heads I had on hand weren't enough to emerald-master that job. So, I farmed heads. Lots of heads, burning lots and lots and lots of slander. I guess it's just about how much the random number generator loved you.

I think I'd actually prefer Spider allies over the Yobanjin.
In character, Haruka would so be annoyed to be teaming up with what she views as barbarian dogs. She's going to be so steamed when/if she finds out about the negotiations X3

Heh. That's good to know Haruka.
Also, yobanjin ally and lots of heads! Yay for the Dragon way - superior to all others since 600!

man, I don't want the infamy from yobanjin support. I mean, uhm. Dirty Gaijin shouldn't be a part of the political machinations of the Empire.

Nezumi aren't gaijin. They were one of the 5 races that inherited Rokugan after the Naga went to sleep but before the Kami fell. The other races were Kenku, Trolls, Zokujin, and Kitsus. l5r.wikia.com/wiki/Nezumi

That's because the action is in the Northern Steppes. You'll notice it's much easier to get there now. Not easy, but easier.

Yeah, glad I didn't blow all those points on battle, much happier spending them on shadowlands. =)
