Very nice. I like Minato. He's less dickish then I expected.

What would the alternate choices have lead our clan to develop?

Depends on who you're asking about, really, but some of the answers to this may verge into spoilers territory so you'd have to ask about a specific person, and not complain if you get an intentionally vague answer. :p
 
To be fair, like they said, we've got similar ideals--we just couldn't decide who was in charge.

The biggest difference is in leadership styles. Minato believes in authoritarian rule by the fittest, and Koibu believes in compromise and discussion. Koibu was more popular with the heimin because he doesn't bark orders or demand tribute, Minato's guys were scarier because they were better organized.

Now they're all your guys, and you will have to find a way to reconcile the two.

Okay then. If we had chosen Jiro or Shiro to be our Warlord, how would that have affected our clan forces?

Well that actually makes me feel quite a big better about Minato being in charge of our military, because the military is the place where "do what I say or else" belongs.

Jiro would have needed a lot of help from you / otherwise been eclipsed by you. Probably would have started a tradition of martial daimyos & led to higher personal renown for Tsubaki. Shirou would have taken the Clan down a more Kenjutsu centric path.
 
I do see us as being as being pretty well respected by the Crab if we keep going down this way though--even beyond our origins. We're a pragmatic bunch who recognizes the use in beating jerks over the head with heavy objects, and have a strong sense of personal integrity and good battle strength.

On the downside, from the perspective of other Clans *Cough*Crane*Cough* we are basically going ham down the route of being a bunch of jumped up armed thugs and criminals who have no appreciation for subtly and likes to use brute force.

I have some questions
  1. Are we going to get to pick a family daimyo and mon?
  2. Do we know who the local emerald magistrate is?
  3. Are we aware of the caverns under the eta district?

1. You are currently both family daimyo and Champion. You will be able to pick a daimyo once that becomes an issue.
EDIT: the Emperor picked your Mon for you. It is a leaping catfish in grey over a blue field.
2. Yes but they are soon to transfer out with the rest of Genryu's people. You don't know who their replacement is yet.
3. No. You didn't adopt the Canaries.
