The New Jomon?

[legowarrior]

New discover in my SP game. Contact Yama-no-kami, a cool looking spell, even if the unit can't move off his mountain (he summons creatures to your domain)must be cast on mountain terrain. Further more, it doesn't work on border mountain terrain, which makes it useless on the random map I'm using. That sucks the big one if you ask me.

[chrispedersen]

yes. the yama is why I like the E on the wyrm.
And yes, you have to remember to turn off border mountains when you make random maps. Hoses a lot of nations.

I seem to like the mori for five fold path reasons, in a communion.

It is hard enough getting everything you want with Jomon. It's like having a swiss army knife versus someone with a hammer.

I'm enjoying a sp game with a lady of Fortune, dormant. 3 Order, 3 Production, 1 Magic, 1 Misfortune, 1 cold or heat. This gives me a SC that can get underwater after a year.


Astral is a must in my book, because the Ring of Wizardry is of great benefit to the mages of the Jomon and the summons, most of which of 3 to 4 magic paths.
I believe that with crystal matrix, one of the ideas is a reverse communion, with a few water and nature based monks boosting dragons.

Yes, Lady is another possibility. But to act as a real SC she will need either research (and it allows to put Cyclops or summons underwater, too) or Dom 9-10 for Awe. And that's damn expensive even without requisite Astral 5-6...

She does well enough in a years time to get her and her bodyguards under the sea. And if becomes a communion slave to a few Monks, so much the better.
