That's one of the things that made me ask the question. As Yomi certainly doesn't need any more handicaps. But if it's thematic to give demons bad reserach, then why do Niefelheim and Mictlan have it as well? The latter two suggest it might have been done to act as a balance to their blesses.

I suggest reading this thread for more insight into his decision-making process.

I'm trying to balance the nations while keeping to the theme.
I know that's somehow arbitrarily and I might change the list in the future.
But especially in Yomi's case the manual says they are bad at research. I've given them a 25% upkeep reduction which allows you to swap income scales for magic scales.
