I have played this mod. It's very interesting, and challenging in the early game where you can have definite morale issues. I've never seen an O-Toyo fail a Seduction, though; what is their 'number'? (IIRC, Succubus is 16, right?)

As far as the flavor is concerned... doesn't really fit with my knowledge of Japanese culture/history, but ah well. It seems to please most people. (A woman-dominated Japanese nation should be EA, not LA.)

I haven't played the new version with the fixed national summoners, I believe. (I tried summoning one of them, and got Visitors?!? Or was that another mod...)

I'll take another look and check stuff out.
I missed this reply the last time, just noticed it now.

The O-Toyo has a succubus/seduce ability of 10, so they should fail more often than the real thing. Maybe you've just been lucky - they do tend to be really good assassins even if they fail though, but they come at a steep price. Not 100% sure on their balance.

Yomi, Shinuyama and Jomon don't exactly fit Japanese history. Indeed you could say that only Jomon is really Japan - the three eras feel like different places to me. Regardless the idea behind the mod basically came from modern J-Horror (which is full of females) the old legend of the Japanese 'cat vampire' and some other asian horror influences.

The summons possibly aren't that well balanced.
