The Crab have laid siege to Lonely Shore City, and the beleaguered Crane defenders have been forced to resort to unorthodox tactics.
The Shiba artisan, Doji magistrate and Soshi magistrate have been added as new schools (available for starting characters). A few new low-level actions reflecting these new schools have been added to their respective starting areas.
The votes on Toturi, Dragon and Spider Clan strategy will be closing soonish (~1 week).

The Soshi magistrates are trained to control their environment through a mixture of fear and force, intimidating even the most violent street gang with ease.
School skills: Athletics, Intimidation, Investigation, Kenjutsu
The Doji magistrates practice techniques of law enforcement and peacekeeping in order to protect their lands and people from all threats.
School skills: Athletics, Investigation, Kenjutsu, Etiquette
The quiet and unassuming Shiba artistic tradition is based on the need to capture and express beauty in as pure a form as possible.
School skills: Lore, Art, Courtier, Etiquette

Would it be possible to add a way for current players to change to the new schools? (besides getting married). I could imagine that there are some high level characters who might be interested in some of the new schools that they have been RPing as, but without the ability to "be" that school.... Nothing from me yet. I can't imagine there being something i would change to, unless you get all kinds of crazy

With the addition of all the new magistrate schools, I wonder if we will soon be getting missions that will eat up Jitte and/or give Emerald or Jade Magistrate position items.

Bye-bye Lonely Shore City. It is futile to defend you now. We will avenge you by razing Permission City.

When you left no troops to defend the land you must use unusual techniques to achieve victory.

Yeah, but I have 10 Tea, 14 Gold and 4 Silk. I can go to outsider keep and trade them at a 2:1 ratio for Gaijin goods, taking honour and glory losses (which, fortunately, I don't care about). But as the trading is at a 1:1 fate to koku ratio, I can't just wait for my fate to refresh, I have to check in 5 times as often as my Koku is around 1/5 of my fate. All this means is I can pick up 14 Gaijin goods to add to the one I have to defend Lonely Shore City. If I want any more, I have to go hunting Silk, Tea and Gold.
Meanwhile, the Crab Army only need Siege Engines (which have been hanging around forever without a use) and Light Infantry...
I know some of the situations in this war are going to be loaded to represent difficulties of circumstance, but this is ridiculous.

Full-fledged Crab Army vs minimal defenses of a trade city when they Crane are defending the capitol....seems very appropriate. I think the reason the Lion have slightly better defensive options is that the Lion army is one location away.

Well, I expect certain battles, including this one, to be loaded. But there's "loaded" and there's "cost: Gaijin Goods"...

Have you never read about the Daidoji harriers? They use black pepper to blow stuff up. Not only is this very in keeping with the setting, it is also in keeping with the reality of the main Crab army kicking a small Crane force in the teeth with insane ease...
