Shinuyama: in the shadows, on the battlefield, under the waves

Hmm.

I don't know if this was mentioned much OW: fairly viable is to go resource -3 and use a lot of kappas. Kitsunes with relief?

sounds like trying to start an underpowered car out in 4th gear.

That's a creative idea, but it won't perform as a strategy backbone: it takes too long to get Relief, takes too long to get Kitsunes, and Shinuyama has no native N income.

Kappas make an effective starting expansion force,
you don't need relief until they are massed.
And the 120 design points are useful.
