Or another option is reinforce the advantage of one clan even higher than it has now (basically join already strong team); as clan Gunba has kidnapped Oshiro clan member (secret IC wise but known OOC), have no immediate enemies near us and have made deals with Aka Ka (who are not stomping Oshiro clan gates) and I have loads of iron and also war academy build up (so even if your mainly bureucrat you can start invest growth points for warfare skills so can double role as bureucrat and commander of own troops). In lore wise clan Gunba is most industrial and wealthy overall as they were clan responsible to production of top quality of arms and weapons for emperor armies (plus Takeda as clan leader is ruthless bureucrat himself as well but two bureucrats can get lots things done).<br/><br/>Anyways final choice is with you which clan you want join or be recruited in but I am ready RP the scene in intrigue thread if you make pick for my clan.
