My question involves cards like Kaiu Taru, Hida Shikoujin & Yoritomo Chiako. These cards have traits which make them cost less to bring into play, but does this "stack" with the 2 Gold reduction from dynasty phase purchasing?
Kaiu Taru - 0HR / 8GC / 2PH Taru costs one less Gold to bring into play for each province destroyed this game.
For example, if six provinces have been destroyed in one game, can I combine this with the discount and get him for free or is it a use trait or dynasty one or the other type thing? Or how about paying only 2 Gold and gaining the honour, or what about if I don't meet the honour requirements, will it cost me 4 Gold to gain honour from him or will it still be 10 Gold?
I understand that their trait works for things like Civility but a question came up in a game last week and just wanted to get clarification as I couldn't find a previous topic regarding it.

"Clan discount", "Blood money" and "Buying for honour" are cumulative with each other and with other cost changes.
