- Q: The card Legendary Victory says it "double[s] the total Honor award for this victory if you win this battle." Does this double the honor bonuses given by cards like Famous Poet/Refuse Advantage/Brilliant Victory/Mercy? A: Yes. The Imperial Herald, Vol. 1, Issue 1, p. 10

Rules Q&A
- Q: Legendary Victory You can only play one Legendary Victory per battle. Political Battle: If you are the Attacker or Defender in this battle and your army is currently opposed by an army with greater total Force, double your Honor gains during the Resolution Segment after all other bonuses are applied.
Military Alliance After each time an Attacker destroys a province by winning a battle, he gains 3 Honor. Open: Put this Event into play.
Akodo Dairuko, the Steel Lion You may target defending Personalities with the rulebook Favor Political Battle action. After you destroy an enemy card during battle (including resolution), gain 1 Honor. Battle: Give all your other attacking Lion Clan Samurai at Dairuko's battlefield +1F and +1PH.
If I destroy a province or personality in battle resolution are the honor gains from military Alliance and Akodo Dairuku during the resolution segment and doubled by Legendary Victory?
A: The province is destroyed during the Resolution Segment, so that is when the honour gain from Military Alliance occurs, doubled by Legendary Victory.
Similarly, the enemy army is destroyed during the Resolution Segment, so that is when the honour gain from Akodo Dairuko occurs, doubled by Legendary Victory. Alex Jones, "Legendary Victory", 19 Jun 2015
