Jomon Analysis: 3.21

[legowarrior]

I mostly agree with guide, though I wish I didn't. Jomon basic troops just don't seem with it for the cost and the lack of shields.

As to basic troops, the first summon, (1 Nature, level 3, I can't remember the name) is supposed to give a boost to whatever province he is in. What does that mean?

Also, I find that Jomon have a lack of Earth magic, yet get fire magic, which there seems to little use for, what is with that.

It's possible to get a Master Shugenja with e3, and if you're really lucky e4...2 cross path fire spells - astral fires (real easy to get with omnyoji) and magma bolts (M. shugenja). And of course a fire pick on the M. Shugenja and you can start a fetish farm.

The thing I like about Jomon are their battle mages (M. Shugenja and Omnoyoji), each one is likely to be different but each can be useful.

Beware! Onmoyi's cannot get s3 and thus can't get non cbm'd Astral fires! xD

Make an astral booster or communion or PotS....it's not that hard. What is hard is deciding the right balance of combat mages and researchers.

As for the e3 yes it's rare, e2 is more common throw on some boots and you have e3 cast summon earth power and you have e4 in battle.
