I restarted my character at the very end of MWK and am now level 81. Since then I haven't exactly been levying troops as a priority, but trying to do things like the story missions, current events missions for Toturi, and doing as much as I can to raise my glory with the goal of getting in the top ten Unicorn rankings (right now I'm 29, which is pretty good progress since making it a priority about a month ago). It meant having a pretty balanced character as a result (my courtier is higher than horsemanship! for shame on me!) Even then, while I'll have to farm to get enough mediums to do the jobs in TR, I have more than enough lights to do the engagement in Permission City, and enough scouting reports to get a few tiers of mastery in TR. I'm hoping that after that I can start collecting favors and mons to start training my rather large supply of recruits.

To reiterate a question asked earlier to Jay, are these battles a click/vote war? Or do we just want to click it to mastery?

I would kind of like Jay to add Toturi/Hantai supporter to the troop levying actions.

I feel you on the loneliness, Kitsune-san. I'm the lone Monkey, and so far the only constant Minor Clan player on the forums. The only good thing about being the only Monkey player that does anything constantly in the game or forum is the fact that in any vote the Monkey takes place in, I can say with relative certainty that is the Monkey's stance. Heck, there are even more ronin than Monkey at the moment.

I would kind of like Jay to add Toturi/Hantai supporter to the troop levying actions. I could see this. Yesterday I was levying troops in Dragon, Crane, and Phoenix lands, using up favors of those clans before I'd have to start farming them too.

I would kind of like Jay to add Toturi/Hantai supporter to the troop levying actions. Splendid suggestion! I was levying troops from Lion and Mantis lands, while making my way to Toshi Ranbo... coming to think of it, it is kinda weird and schizophrenic .

The idea has a kind of logical sense, but at the same time does not work, simply because not every member of a clan is on the same side of the war, and preventing members of a clan from conscripting in their own lands does not work - the recruits are described as peasants "fresh from the farmlands", so they'll just follow whatever samurai shouts orders at them without any concept of thether they will be fighting for Toturi or Hantei. The other way of restricting it (without a mess of complication) would be to make the recruitment clan-only, but I think that's taking it too far.

I too considered asking for constraints on recruitment and decided against it. For the reasons Kakita Shokuma mentions, but also because it would hurt newer players way worse than me. I already stocked up on Unicorn recruits to emerald and beyond, but for a newer player this may be the only way to get troops fast enough to master the war actions a single time. I was fine with it before (actually, I (ab)used the opportunity as much as i could), it wouldn't be fair to cry "flavour" and "style" now that I no longer need that option.

It could be changed to (x) supporter or (x) clan as a requirement.

This would not be a good idea, esp for new players. Otherwise you might as well start making every other action reflective of this choice. "Sorry Kiso-sama, we don't want you making an appearrance in the Doji Courts."

It would not only unfairly affect new players, would not only require a lot of coding but also be absolutely inaccurate since there are representants of every side in each Clan (Toturi, Hantei, Spider and neutral) and levied peasants have no idea about case they are fighting for (that some samurai does not have any idea either and supports Hantei is not an argument here).

I think that the levying troops action could be left alone and seen as the following.
We know that there are samurai of all clans on both sides. You are working to motivate people to your side.
I think for simplicities sake, this is one of the those times where reality will need to be suspended.

I hear that. Let simplicity reign. It's easier that way. *Rimshot* Anyway, I'm also in favor of the status quo due to the main fact that I don't like making the game any harder for new players. I've been trying to get people to play and it's hard enough explaining the civil war, (one of them thought this was the war of the spirits.) without creating more difficulties for the new guys.
I've been camping near the capitol, and I do have one question. The EC and the Shogun both have control over the Legions. I'm curious as to if we have any imperial legions of our own to draw upon. Some at least would likely side with Toruri III.
