That simple!

RAISING YOUR ARMY:
From having your own faction, you get your own troops!  Troops are gained solely based on the average of your base Strength and Wisdom. How this works will be shown below!

Say, for instance, we have someone looking to start a faction, and he has 30 base Strength and 20 base Wisdom. Take the average, so 30 + 20 = 50, 50/2 = 25 total for that.

For every one point in your average, you gain three average troops, and these troops have 10 in each stat category.

For every five points in your average, you gain one exceptional soldier, and these troops have 20 in each stat category.

For every ten points in your average, you gain one commander, and these troops have 30 in each stat category.

So, take into account the example we were using with our 25 average, we would have a total of:

• 25 x 3 = 75 normal troops
• 5 x 1 = 5 exceptional troops
• 2 x 1 = 2 commanders

This means for your average of 25, you have a total of 82 men in your army! Pretty neat, huh?

The size of your army is only affected by the top dogs in your faction. This means the Daimyo (you), your strategist/tactician if you have either,  and any generals you may have, will add to your ranks using the same format. If you have three other people who hold high rank in your army, the four of you will add up your averages, and that will be how many troops you have. So if you've got four people with an average of 25, that's a total of 100! That's a LOT more troops right there, isn't it? 

Training:
Once per month, you will be able to train your soldiers and improve their general stats! This will be done by doing a thread where you will actually train the soldiers. It will be a solo RP thread, unless you have other PCs in your faction. At which case, they will be doing the training with you, for the same goal.

Doing training will boost the stats of all of your soldiers in a specific category in your faction. To reiterate that, all of your normal troops will get a certain bonus, all of your exceptional troops will get a certain bonus, and all of your commanders will get a certain bonus, and this bonus will affect any troops you gain after the training has been done as well.

Put simply, say Nobunaga does a training thread. The reward for this is as follows:

• All Normal Troops Receive: +1 to All Stats
• All Exceptional Troops Receive: +2 to All Stats
• All Commanders Receive: +3 to All Stats

The stats for Normal Troops bump up from all 10s to all 11s, and this applies to troops gained after training threads have been completed.

UNLESS YOU ARE IN YOUR OWN TERRITORY, YOU CANNOT CALL UPON YOUR ARMY IF YOU ARE NOT IN A MAJOR BATTLE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS IF YOU HAVE A COMMANDER RANK SOLDIER WHO SERVES AS YOUR PERSONAL BODYGUARD.

Faction Bonuses:
Like every other faction, yours gains a bonus! It's a two-part bonus, consisting of anywhere from +3 to +5 stat points in the first half, and whatever special effect you want for the second half! These bonuses will need to be paid for, and the prices and information will be listed below!

• For the first half of the bonus,  you will pay 300 Yen per stat point. At minimum, your bonus requires three stat points, and at most, it will be five. So you will be paying anywhere from 900 Yen to 1500 Yen for the first half of your faction bonus.
• The second half of your bonus will cost a flat 1500 yen, and can be a variety of things. It could be like the Oda's +12 Dex when wielding a rifle, the Takeda's +10 Con when mounted, or even the Hojo's ability to blend in with Shadows.
