Mnemonic

Your ability to ford this tsunami impresses everyone who witnesses it, especially the Shougun (しょう). Now that you've taught him a tsunami can be forded, he's going to start sending his troops through them instead of waiting for them to pass.

Your new fording techniques have increased the Shougun's military power! Congrats, I guess.
