The per region will drive me nuts :S Now you have one city in 1600 and the other in 1400 LOL, or you do get feats per city? Now then things get really complicated and will take forever to get something decent for your whole nation.
Please tell me I'm wrong here....... IR advancement per region is gonna freak me out.
Answer: The only thing that is Per Region really... is IR advancement. Advancing your civilization is entirely seperate. If you get a research feat, it applies to ALL of your territories you control at the time you get the research feat.

Cream when you get the time could you respond to my mail? Important since I need to get my PL cap filled up.
Answer: Yes, I think I responded. If not, I'll get to it tonight.
Tokiwong
what clans are left?
Answer: I think that there are a few minor clans +the Dragon. I'm controlling the Dragon currently in order to fill a big gap left by a player that left, but I can move over.

Well, you could ask the Dragon clan back from Creamsteak, there are the Monkey and Tortoise of the minor (but very few stuff).
Other options are the Naga and the Four Winds.
Answer: Moderator just smiles.

Also, noone has taken the Shadow, and there are still four major Nezumi tribes remaining.
The Seppun, Miya and Otomo families (the Imperial families) are also quite politically powerful.
Answer: 
Tokiwong
who likes the Monkey?
I can take the Monkey Clan... nothing like a minor clan for some challenges and fun
Answer: Hmmm... allright. Post your claims on the boards when you can. I'll try and help you fill up your PL, and Black Omega or anyone else can provide more PL to claim.

Hi. Here is my final claims list:
New claim: The Grand Circle (a society of shugenya) PL 5 : IR 10
Answer: Alright.
Serpenteye
Welcome ... Tokiwong ... . I'm looking forwards to gaming with you again (the same goes for the rest of you).
So, Creamsteak, when were you planning to start round 1?
And btw, I like the rules the way they are. I have a question though;
Lets say one player who has 4 ranks in earth sciences conquers a province from a player who has zero ranks. Will the IR of that province be increased retroactively as the new lore is put to practical use and its infrastructure is modernized (will the province gain 8 points of IR)? That seems to me the most logical solution, but could possibly be unbalanced.
Answer: Round 1 will begin shortly after I get started soon. I can't say I'm sure when just yet. I'm going to wait for Tokiwong to get sorted out, and then I'll be waiting for anyone who hasn't filled out their PL cap to do so.
One Player has 4 ranks in earth sciences conquers a province from a player who has zero ranks, nothing happens. Earth Sciences only applies to territories you control with at least one point of IR. It doesn't benefit anything later (I think it's appropriate that way).

Here's an issue:
Toritaka Tatsune has been elevated to 20th level in the Way of the Samurai book (Sam 6 / Brz 4 / Vet 10)
This would make his own PL 3 but what
would that make his army/family in PL:IR?
PL 10: IR 28?
Edit: Ooops, I make booboo.
Answer: You are correct. If you control Toritaka, go ahead and inform me of whether or not you want to raise his PL and his clans PL.
