Influence

Connections

Low Level

The lower ranks are mistrusted. Even loyal soldiers are granted help only when it does not interfere with the business of the clan. Treachery is dealt with swiftly and harshly.

Medium Level

At this level, the clan members offer their services for an astronomical sum in the form of a gift. With such behavior, the gumi risk little and gain much.

High Level

These are the leaders of the syndicate. Careful negotiations are the way to survive such meetings. They will only put their support behind a business if they have the right reasoning.
