Handling these Ronin Camps give you General Experience for Defeating the Ronin as well as Losing to them, however, defeating them rewards you more. The benefits are increased Gen XP and loads of resources to take back home. The typical resource allotment I've gotten from Ronins follows this format:

Example: Food - - - - - 70000 Lumber - - - 7000 Stone - - - - 700 Iron - - - - - - 70 Silver - - - - 700

This is taken from an attack against a Level 1 Ronin. The higher the level Ronin, the higher the rewards.

Use this info to your benefit when attacking Ronins. Send more troops than they have and definitely send a General with equal or higher Combat Level. Also, your Combat Researches should also be equal to or above that of your target Ronin (e.g. Karate should be Level 5 or higher for Ronins Level 5 and below) This last bit is to help minimize troop losses.
