From a player suggestion, actions will now report what you used up while performing them (intended to help with actions with random item costs).
Some actions now have "Death" as a cost; performing them will result in your character's death. These are not required, and are intended to be a roleplaying choice (the game mechanics are very similar to seppuku). The Honorable Dead list and the player events newsfeeds will now show messages describing how characters died.
In other news, the Shogun's army has advanced to Shiro Moto.

Better watch where you click then boys and girls, but hey all in all it's just a game  But yes I noticed the changes to the costs being 'revealed' after the action was done. That's certainly better than having to click constantly to see how much of anything you have left! Only one more big push, Shogun! *cheers* |

I actually did add a confirmation window for doing death actions seemed like it would be a little too harsh otherwise. That's good, I was about to say, that missclick just got way scarier But back on topic... Death - cool I guess. Too bad EE does not have some kind of kharmic rule  Anyway I can suggest, that there can/should also be: - honorable death in duel on imperial court - glorious death in Shadowlands - misterious dissapearance in Isawa Mori (or Shadowlands) - miserable death in Kyuden Kasuga (that's where hired thugs dwell right?) - becoming monk and dyin' old in Pillars of Virtue - love suicide in Benten Seido And now little complaint - it's been weeks and shogun moved only to Shiro Moto? When will he finally arrive?  |

To paraphrase. The Shogun is never late, nor is he early. He arrives when the Empire needs him.
Butchering Toklen aside, I enjoy this new mechanic. Adds a little more flavor if you want to reroll. I'm not sure how many people will actually use it, but that matters little. I'm going as fast as I can to total mastery of all that the battlefeild has to offer to prepare for the Shogun, the random encounters are not going with me on this though.

I'm fine with the pace the Shogun is taking. That's what happens when a person creates enemies. He gets stopped or slowed down in his tracks. A slander here and there, occasional rainfall out of nowhere, weird moving mountains...  |

...Good to give everyone a chance to get everything done that they wanted before taking the jobs away. It's not like they haven't been putting out new content besides the Shogun's March anyway. The Death actions are cool, though it'd be nice if they did something for the new character you're making to mark re-birth.

I like the idea, it gives a bit more flavor to world and makes you realize how dangerous these actions are. I just have one question.  ...why do I get EXP for dying? |

...why do I get EXP for dying? So that when your character becomes a zombie they still get a reward out of doing this action. |

Hmmm, adding some karma or something to your next character if you die well does sound like a fun idea. I'll see what I can do. Regarding the pace of the Shogun's march, early on (when I first had him fold up tents in Toshi Ranbo and head out) I got the impression players thought things were moving too fast and they weren't getting a chance to do all the actions in time. So since then I've been deliberately moving things along at a slow pace so everyone can keep up, and I'm also alternating "war" updates with content in other parts of the Empire, so that players that aren't that into the war plotline can have stuff to do, too. |

Thanks Jay!
I love this update. From one of the people who proposed it, I truly do appreciate it.

Not to nitpick or anything but why does "A Glorious Death" use the art from "Feign Death"  |
