Greetings,
Ashura vs. Yu
If you've lost a battle, can Ashura's "Eye-for-an-Eye" trait make your opponent lose honor if you choose to destroy a dishonored personality when he/she/it dies during Battle Resolution?
Yes.
Order of events.
I start flipping my dynasty cards at the beginning of my turn and the second one [is] some event that enables me to search my deck for something would I go get the card for the event first or flip over the rest of my provinces first?
Resolve the event right away (Gold Edition rulebook, pg. 49).
Rules question
Someone told me that if flee cancels one of the range attacks in Kuro's fire.. the Rest still resolve. Is this true?
No (Rules Archive, General Rules, Ranged Attacks).
Rules
Korgajun (with a Yoshi's fan to have enough personal honor) and Unicorns striders : When I attach the follower to Korgajun, it becomes cavalry. But when I assign this cavalry units, the Unicorns striders gain 2 force, then it loses the cavalry trait (more force than korgajun), then it loses the 2 force bonus (there is no more cavalry unit with the striders), then it gains the cavalry trait (less force than korkajun), ... etc .... When does it end ?
The Unicorn Striders have 2F and no Cavalry trait.
Don't ask me why. I won't answer. :P
"enough talk" : if the challenge is between 2 Reju, is the action cancelled or not in case of a tie (the 2 challenger win)?
Cancelled. The challenging samurai won (card text). That the challenged samurai also won doesn't matter.
Suspended Terrain & Spearhead
Does Spearhead get around the bowing effect of Suspended Terrain?
Yes.
Rules for 5 October 2003, Part 2
Isn't Kwanchai's effect switching?
No. It is normally functionally identical, but it's not switching.
Shadowlands Marsh + Narrow Ground
Narrow Ground + Shadowlands Marsh A. Personalities are reduced by 2, and then, if applicable, reduced to 2? B. Personalities are reduced to 2, and then reduced by 2 with the Marsh?

Face of Ninube/T'ch T'ch Warrens
If you Face of Ninube while your hand contains cards reclaimed via T'ch T'ch Warrens, they enter your fate deck, correct[?]
Incorrect. The relevant cards leave the game (stronghold text).
Far from the Empire and Shrine of the Sun
If Far form the Empire has resolved and I have used the favor and then I use a Shrine of the Sun to end the effects of the Far from the Empire, do I now only need 40 honor to win through honor[?]
Yes (Rules Archive, General Rules, Effects; specific cards, Solar Eclipse).
