The reason I don't prefer the normal theme of T'ien Ch'i is because their only real mage is the Celestial Master who is forced to use Astral. Thus you have to walk into battle without mages if you are fighting an Astrally powerful nation. Spring and Autumn allows you to circumvent that with the Master of the Five Elements.

I do think one minor improvement could be the increase of number of summons from the "Demon of" variety. Double or Triple the power/number of effects of the spell. So you don't have to commit a huge number of Celestial Masters to forge your army.

Edit: I don't mean double or triple the power without the cost of gems, just double or triple the formula. 9 Fire Gems for 3 Demons of Celestial Fire.
