Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

Um, incase you haddn't picked this up, you still have the old heros from Jomon late age.

Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

Yep. Like I said, it's going to be seperate in a later version. For now they have Jomon vanilla heroes, national spells, forts etc.

Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

Oh and I know the PD is messed up. It's fixed for 0.4

Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

Looks interesting. It might be nice to make them an added nation rather than a Jomon replacement, so there would be more nations available for an all-Asian game.

Why do Samurai Thrall Cavalry carry maces?

Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

Because they need a melee weapon to use after their lances break and swords are pretty much banned for Samurai in this setting. The hint is in the title ;]

I've said twice already in the thread that they'll be an added nation rather than a replacement in a later version. So I agree :]

Although thematically they are a replacement (Jomon under the samurai fails and is replaced by this one) people like more options and it's a lot less messy if I just make them seperate and call them New Jomon. I did the same with Ulm Reborn for the CBM version and I'll probably go back and do it for the vanilla version too.

Re: Replacement Nation: Jomon, Broken Swords
 

New version is up. It's got more fixes than you could shake a stick at.

Including;
- various bugs and code quirks I'd missed.
- Nekoni nerfing! Yay!
- Summon Kyuuketsuki that's actually castable.
- New Krasue graphics.
- A banner that may or may not look better.
- Adjusted balance generally.
- PD and starting units which make more sense.

It still replaces Jomon LA but that'll change in the next version. For now i suggest using this one and giving it a quick test game. Maybe on aran or silent seas.

Enjoy.

I was playing a game with Jomon Broken, using about 10 O-Toyos to cause all kinds of trouble in enemy territory and I got this message (attached). Seems Gandalf is a sucker for ladies that turn into a giant cat demons.

Re: Poor, poor lucky gandalf
 

I just realised I made a fairly major goof with the national summons, so here's the next version.

It fixes a handful more problems I found, changes some values and most importantly makes Jomon Broken an entirely new nation (called New Jomon) - it no longer overwrites Jomon. Because of this fairly major change this version isn't compatible with your games as Jomon Broken so far. You'll need to restart entirely.

Anyway, v0.5 is attached at the first post. Enjoy.

You dont know how true that is.
