Just like they have improved the attributes of ulmish black plates, some small tweaks can also help a nation a lot. There are many unique stuffs in the Japanese armory. I guess the alike tricks work for them as well.

I am also more for a parallel race. Assigning those amphibian units different equipments and they can form the bulk of a brand new force to give LA Rlyeh another competitor. Or maybe let us enlist them via special sites? At least in Chinese tales those shrimps and crabs minions are not very competitive warriors, that's part of the reason why I doubt they will truly help improving Jomon. Making them national units seems to be more reasonable for me.

Could you please give us some more details about these monsters in mythology ? It looks interesting.

Well, actually I do not think they could be called "monsters". They are more like regular soldiers of the Sea Palace in Chinese tales, and are always beaten easily by heroes like flies though in great number. Their roles are so minor that I can hardly recall any detail description of them...
In Chinese speech, there is even a phase about "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" to imply soldiers of poor quality, just because they always mean nothing for the Chinese heroes in mythology.

Anyway, the photo posted by eastsnow is an interesting image. I am also looking forward to KO's work.

This is valuable information! Thanks.

And that definitively shows that I'm not a Chinese hero, as I'm having huge problems with even just one shrimp soldier!!
