Satsuma

Administration +5% reduction to administration costs

Westernisation -10% to the cost of foreign veteran actions

Leadership +15% increase to the general's radius of influence

Dominion Begins with two provinces

Satsuma has two regions at the start of the campaign and, because of its Shimazu history, it is a rich domain with an effective and efficient administration. They also have an advantage when it comes to recruiting foreign veterans as agents.

Tosa

Tact +10 to diplomatic relations

Barrage +2 to naval bombardment range

Respect +1 reduction to resistance to occupation across all provinces

Seafaring +2 to experience for all ship crews

They are skilled in diplomacy, and have a good deal of naval expertise which is reflected in their ships' experience and in their ability to bombard shore targets.

Tsu

Persuasion +2% to allegiance conversion

Fortitude +1 to unit melee defence

Furtiveness +3 to the number of kisho ninja units available

Artifice -10% to the cost of shinobi actions

Their central position on the mainland, in what is now Mie Prefecture, lay between Edo and Kyoto, and this allowed them enviable flexibility and options in their loyalties. Such flexibility goes some way to explain why they have such excellent shinobi at their command.

Jozai

Conditioning +2% to the movement speed of all units

Guerrilla Warfare +6 to the possible number of yugekitai units

Subversion +10% to casualties when using sabotage and harassment actions

Resourcefulness Armies can replenish in enemy territory, winter months excepted!

The Hayashi clan have become specialists in guerrilla warfare in all its forms. The units they can raise and the bonuses to their agents reflect this in many ways. Open battle is not always the best way to win a war; sometimes it can be more useful to defeat an enemy with his own strength.

Aizu

Defence -10% to the cost of construction castles

Discipline -10% to the cost of shinengumi actions

Bushido -10% to the recruitment costs of traditional units

Tradition +1 to the experience of traditional units

With its proud martial tradition, Aizu's shinsengumi agents and units have an experience bonus, and traditional military units are cheaper to recruit.

Sendai

Tolerance +3 reduction to unhappiness from differences in allegiance

Siegecraft 2 turn reduction to surrender time when besieging castles

Tact +10 to diplomatic relations

Respect +1 reduction to resistance to occupation across all provinces

In battle, Sendai armies have longer when attacking, and need to defend for less time, making victory less of a race to achieve. They also have a bonus to all diplomatic efforts, and are tolerant towards people with different allegiance.

Saga

Gunnery +5 to the accuracy of all artillery pieces

Industry +5 to growth from industrial buildings

Engineering -15% reduction to the recruitment and upkeep costs of ships

Rangaku (Trade with Western Powers has been established)

The Nabeshima clan can rely on a few advantages in the coming struggle: they have Western connections and trade that is far ahead of any other domain. In turn, this learning allows them to be artillery experts, and have good shipbuilding and industrial facilities. The modern world has much to offer to those who would embrace it.

Choshu

Zeal -10% to the cost of ishin shishi actions

Marauding +25% to income from looting

Adaptability -10% to the costs of modern military buildings and units

Impetus +3 to the charge bonus of all units

The Mori are supporters of the Emperor because he is not the Shogun, and modernisers so that they can have the best weaponry for their armies. Any ishin shishi agents recruited by them will be of high quality, and their armies are well trained and motivated, with a good charge bonus.

Obama

Vigilance +2 to the experience of defending garrision units

Logistics -10% to the upkeep costs of all land units

Authority +2 to repression across all provinces

Overseeing +5% increase in tax income

Because of their long experience of government and administration, they are experts at managing the population of their lands. They receive a taxation bonus, and are highly efficient at repression. They also spend money wisely, and they pay less upkeep for land units. All their garrison troops are also of high quality.

Nagaoka

Enterprise +10% to income from business chain buildings

Entertainment +5% to the chance of successful geisha actions

Foreign Trade -15% to the recruitment costs of modern units

Alacrity +15% to the reloading skill of rifle units

The domain has better business skills (and economic bonuses); can produce modern-pattern units at lower cost than others; and Nagaoka troops can reload on the battlefield quicker than others' soldiers.
