The samurai of Rokugan have won a great victory, defeating the Yobanjin hordes and lifting the siege at Mountain Watch Keep. Using a battle plan devised by the Crane general Daidoji Fitsu, the Dragon defended the center, where the fighting was heaviest, with the Crane on the right flank and the Crab holding the left. The Yobanjin horde has been scattered, and those unable to escape back to the mountains have cravenly surrendered, leaving the Rokugani in possession of the field. A victory celebration has begun. Top generals (final standings in the Battle contest):1. | Daidoji Fitsu | 761 | 2. | Akodo Keisuke | 538 | 3. | Akodo Masao | 462 | 4. | Daidoji Sonoko | 390 | 5. | Daidoji Tsumerai | 379 | 6. | Akodo Kenzo | 374 | 7. | Matsu Eystathios | 365 | 8. | Hida Bazinga | 364 | 9. | Akodo Tarahika | 352 | 10. | Akodo Shikamaru | 349 |
An impressive showing by the Daidoji and Akodo! Top clans at the battle (based on number of successful attacks on Yobanjin generals):Dragon | 415 | Crane | 283 | Crab | 245 | Lion | 225 | Scorpion | 225 | Unicorn | 202 | Phoenix | 198 | Mantis | 114 | Spider | 44 | Hare | 14 | Monkey | 14 | Badger | 13 | Oriole | 11 | Bat | 10 | Tortoise | 9 | Sparrow | 2 |
It wasn't meant to be easy to reach the Yobanjin generals, so this shows great determination on the part of the samurai of Rokugan. Banzai!

WOW! I didn't thought that we where so hard on the general. I was on my way to master it to jade! HURRAY DRAGON!
Sad i did use my 120 banners yesterday to gain some more cavalry to attack! No more :-( (can we get some more elsewhere?)
Thanks Jay for this great battle, are we pushing it in to the yobanjin camp?
PS: it could have been nice to have some "pre ending" note on this...

Delivered, as promised ;D My only regret is having been far too efficient in cashing in Rallys and Captured Banners - I currently have none of both! (having cashed in literally hundreds of each during the course of emeralding all the battle jobs...) Lesson - never cash in post-emerald; instead, store the excess

Wow, I'm really wishing that I hadn't burned all my Rallying Cries and Yobanjin Banners. The banners I can get more of, but cries? QQQ

I actually thought people had tons of banners and rallying cries left over...apparently mistakenly. I changed the "Celebration" action to no longer require a banner, and the "Boast" action to use "sake" instead of "rallying cry". Hope that helps!

A fair thought, but they were just too useful for gathering reinforcements. Cries were basically free troops, and oodles of them. Even the banners were good, since it often gives you weapons with which you can train up new Unicorn troops.

But wait a sec. Does that mean end of war? Celebration already? What about emerald champion? What about steppes?

Oh, the war is far from over. But the initial battle, a brutal siege which cost us greatly in both life and materiel, is over. Tomorrow will bring a new battle, yes. We must push the invaders right back out the way they came. And yes, some of us may die to see that happen. But tonight the fight is won, thanks to the Shogun and those under his command, and such a victory calls for a well-earned celebration. Trust me on this. I'm a Lion. We know these things. Pass the sake?

For those of you that don't like shogun there is also an action in the imperial court... why do I feel this will give me an imperial executioner and force me to kill the Yobanjin?

I have a sudden urge to learn the art of stealth. Just saying. By the by, was I the only Monkey to attack the general? I know I mastered it and then some. Something to spend the heads on at last. Thankfully I had an excess from getting people drunk enough to side with the Scorpion and Crab on the trade route

I would love to reconcile with the Shogun but I don't know where to get a third Kaneka's Favor. I got two left over from the missions during the battle.
Hopefully, one of the other new tasks drop one or two.
Now I have to decide if I should execute the Yobanjin or not.

Thanks Jay for the change, it make more sense to be able to "enjoy the victory" when you did everything possible in the name of the empire! I thought i was the only one in this situation! GREAT JOB!
