Good idea, thanks! And possibly some sort of moneylender pretender, "The Great Investor". Not sure what he'd do, though=) Maybe build castles for half down, and 1.9% APR=)

What period of Japanese history are you targeting for the majority of the information? Or is it all fantasy based? (I don't mind either way; but the most attractive themes in my mind are those with a little bit of our history mixed in)

I'm kind of targeting random bits from all periods. The armor styles changed over time, and I don't know which ones had what stats... the books never tell you important stuff like protection values=)

Sometimes swords were dominant, sometimes spears, and I really don't know enough to make a theme for a specific era.

If you know any Japanese mythology, it would be useful for making heroes, national summons, national gods, and national sites. I don't know much about Japanese religion or mythology.

[Endoperez]

This race seems to have troops light in both gold and in resources, and units that need much resources AND others who want much gold. Quite a tricky situation!

Are you sure Death ninja need water magic? Water => quickness...

Interesting. You should try doing graphics: if you try enough, you will eventually get something useful... I do most my essays more than once, and whenever I try to draw I make mostly crap, and sometimes something that I can recognize. You could also ask if Illwinter will let you to change the colors of their dragons.

[atul]

Is it so that if you give two weapons to a unit (s)he automatically uses both? If that is the case then here's the nation dedicated to dual-wielding. =) It's just that I've been under impression that in ancient Japan using two swords (long ones, at least) was considered somewhat barbaric. Samurais had katana and short sword, but they weren't used at the same time. Therefore Japan as the nation of dual-wielders strikes me as 'unthematic' (not that it has any relevance to a fantasy setting), but I might very well be wrong. (Of course, for ninjas and ronins everything goes, it's just those samurais with twin katanas...)

While still on that subject, there's this historical figure whose fame was partially owed to the fact he used two swords , Miamoto or something, to succesfully beat a heap of people. Good enough for a hero?

I like the Japanese theme. I'm reasonably familiar with the mythology, so I'll post a bit of info here. I'm more familiar with the Shinto side of the religion (most Japanese go by a mixture of Buddhist and Shinto beliefs), so the bulk of the info will come from that side.

The two primary Shinto deities are Izanami (female) and Izanagi (male). They were siblings, but also husband and wife. Anyway they created the world, but Izanami ended up dying and going to the underworld after giving birth to one of her children. Izanagi followed her there to take it back, but since she was already decomposing, or according to some accounts she just aged a great deal, she said it was too late and made him leave. The two of them seem to be an embodiment of the yin/yang concept, with Izanami being the yin (feminine/soft/passive/cold/etc.) and Izanagi being the yang (masculine/hard/active/warm/etc). I could easily see them as death and nature oriented pretenders, respectively.

Inari is a rice deity of ambiguous gender. Some of what I've read says female, some says male, so I'm not sure. Inari is very much associated with fox spirits called kitsune, so attracting them may be a possibility for this deity. I recommend this link as a source of kitsune info, and a bit about Inari. The famous kitsune section has a few that might be good as hero units. http://www.comnet.ca/~foxtrot/kitsune/kitsune1.htm

Kappa are sort of bipedal frogs with shells on their backs. They're associated with water (their natural habitat, but they can go on land as well) and it's believed that if they ever dry out they die.

Hannya are the spirits of jealous women who became demons because of their jealousy. They're known to drink blood, particularly from children and infants.

Outside of Shinto beliefs there's a historical figure that ended up rising to legendary status. Minamoto Yo****sune. In short he and his brother Yoritomo were both on the same side of a civil war of a sort. Their side was victorious, but somewhere along the line some animosity built up between the brothers. Yoritomo decided Yo****sune needed to die, and eventually he did. In any case Yo****sune was said to be a very capable fighter and general, and was also said to have been trained by a race of men with some bird-like characteristics (tengu). His consort Shizuka Gozen is quite well known in her own right too. I could very easily see her as a modified geisha.
