They're supposed to make it stronger? Who says? I doubt KO has expressed that.

Actually, he stated specifically that the summons introduced in the last patch were more for flavor than anything, but that those that are to come, will have a much greater impact on the nation's viability.

If I had even the foggiest clue which thread that was from, I'd link it, but I'm totally at a loss to find it.....

If Jomon are the ofthe new patch, I'd love to see a version of them in the middle age, where magic and summons would be more common.

MA Jomon = Shinuyama. And Shinuyama is pretty nifty, IMO.

It's not really the same though, is it, between the Jomon and the Shinuyama? The troops are completely different, and for the most part the summons are too. True you have access to the same summons, but Jomon have trouble summoning Oni and the Shinuyama can summon them quite easily.

I guess I should say that it would be cool to have a Human Centric or a Tengui centric side to counter balance the Shinuyama or the Oni, much like the Lanka seem to be a blood parallel of the Kailasa.

I see, then. Yes, it would be cool, particularly the Tengui-centric idea. I like your idea w/rt paralleling Lanka (or Vanheim/Helheim).

But I do have to agree with your earlier statement Shinuyama are nifty.
Now, the rumors is that the next patch will add some summons to the Jomon that will add to their overall power. Will any of the general troops of the Jomon be changed or is it just things are being added?

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.

You actually can already recruit kappas from certain poptypes--I don't know if there's a site that lets you recruit them too (like Shamblers), but definitely you will sometimes come across a province that lets you recruit kappas.

I doubt adding summons will severly effect a nations power, better change the recruitables a bit since that is the problem usually.
