Expansion
Here's an expansion strategy I've had some success with on neutral scales. I haven't finetuned it, but its a lot better than my earlier Bakemono dying by the hundreds strategy.
I recruit two O-Bakemono and two Dai Bakemonos (sword only) each turn. At first, remaining gold and resources efforts go to unarmored Bakemono-sho/Archers, with a priority on melee. And an Uba, or Mujina, of course. Later, I may throw in a little armor, or recruit more archers.
The O-Bakemono and Dai Bakemono get mixed in with the melee chaff into one mixed squad. These two units are last to die, and have a nice upward effect on morale. So I end up routing from a lot, lot less battles. They'll also provide some nice killing punch.
Depending on how it goes, I start forming a second squad when I have 10 each of O-Bakemono and Dai Bakemono. I had some success splitting that in half to 5/5 but that depends on your indies.
