How To: Shinobis
When you put a Shinobi in a rival's territory, the province's loyalty rating drops by a certain percentage. If this percentage is below 100%, there is a chance that rebels will appear and seize the territory (halting income and production). The lower the loyalty percentage, the higher chance of a revolt. Moreover, the higher the Shinobi's honor, the greater chance of rebellion. Every time that rebels appear in the territory, all your Shinobi in that territory gain honor. The trick is to "invade" a rival's territory will an army of five to ten Shinobi (they are very cheap, only 100 kokus). As the territory begins to revolt, all those Shinobi will gain honor. After they are sufficiently high, spread them across different territories and team them up with four to nine new Shinobi. The high honor Shinobi will ensure that revolts take place often, giving a chance for the new Shinobi to level up. Simply repeat this process ad infinitum. You can easily complete disrupt a rival's power base in very few turns, giving you the opportunity to build up armies and/or invade territories while your opponent has to destroy your rebel armies. Try targeting key provinces with production facilities and/or mining/farming territories. Note: Avoid territories with Border Forts, or else your Shinobi will die at a rate of one per turn. Also, Shinobi have no effect on Ronin territories.
