A number of factors can negatively impact the commander’s Army Maintenance check. See below for some examples:
If the army is in hostile lands without a path of resupply, increase the TN by 1.
If it is winter and the army is not garrisoned in a shelter, increase the TN by 2.
If the army has been on the march for two weeks of the last month (or more), increase the TN by 1.
If the army is short on food, increase the TN by 1.
If the army is short on water, increase the TN by 3.
If it is exceptionally hot, increase the TN by 1.
If the army is plagued by insects and other vermin, increase the TN by 1.
If the army is plagued by disease, increase the TN by 3.
On the other hand, a number of factors can positively impact the commander’s maintenance check. See below for some examples:
If the commander’s status rank is 6 or higher, decrease the TN by 2 (to a minimum of 1).
If the commander has publicly promoted one or more jizamurai or ashigaru for a valorous act in the last month, decrease the TN by 2 (to a minimum of 1).
If the troops have access to entertainment provided by the commander (such as small luxuries like tea or sake, bards and other entertainers, or the opportunity to participate in activities such as hunting or contests), decrease the TN by 3 (to a minimum of 1).
If the army has been victorious in a mass battle within the last month, decrease the TN by 4 (to a minimum of 1).
If food is plentiful, decrease the TN by 3 (to a minimum of 1).
If the troops are fighting a defensive conflict in their own homeland, decrease the TN by 6 (to a minimum of 1).
If the commander has the backing or mandate of a character with status rank 7 or higher, decrease the TN by 3 (to a minimum of 1).
If the commander or their backer has made a considerable sacrifice of personal wealth (forfeiting 5 or more status), decrease the TN by 1 for every 5 status forfeited this way.
