The reason why I spoke of unit transfers than metal is because of RP scene going on negotiation table; I plan expand the alliance officially and publicly to be shared military alliance. In short; we share the same number of rice, iron and units when we are defending our territories and both clans troops can travel in each other's territories (so united attacks against single stronghold by two clans are possible). In short the 'transfer' is just term where I give +10 troops to the shared pool of troops which Kogatana would wield mostly (so if any Clan Gunba or Aka Ka lands get attacked and Kogatana is on defense stance, it means she gets whack a mole with +18 unit army which consist of both Aka Ka and Gunba troops).<br/><br/>However if this is not what Kogatana or Ualan wants then I am on pinch as I cannot do +5 iron delivery yet (as I am saving iron for crafting once forge is done; one of crafted items is what Kogatana asked for last year and to get more iron I need take over more territory or wait a year as I spend 10 irons for bandits).<br/><br/><strong>Relikai:</strong>I believe it was ruled you cannot invade twice in row with single char. Also going south from the kabuki shrine and take the mine territory breaks the deal Yunar Exiles did for Gunba with their hostage (and Gunba clan would take it as declaration of war this point).<br/><br/><strong>Ontan:</strong>Just read garden intrigue thread; rather brilliant move offer the merge (as it's something which I have considered to do as well; merge one or two clans together into single clan). It would likely lead to shogunate sort ending to campaign unless all allied clans then 'submit' to one clan and accept daimyo from said clan as emperor.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=275524.msg13616901#msg13616901">Quote from: Metraxa on 21-10-2017, 07:01:29</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'm just not confident in my own fate, not being important enough to be a bargaining chip and not pretty enough for Stockholm Syndrome ckan conversion.

Yunar Exiles is dominant force coming from the west already and they could sail and help assault some Oshiro clan turfs.
