Shortbow-equipped Bakemono-sho are pretty great because they can be massed so easily. With good blockers they ought to tear through hordes of naked women, and do decently against other lightly-armored troops. Too bad Yomi doesn't have a lot of good blockers.

Of course, if I were playing Yomi I'd have researched Ench 1, Conj 3, then Ench 5, then started researching construction or something. Why? Because a Hannya is a F2 caster, Conj 3 gives her phoenix power, and Ench 5 gives us Flaming Arrows. And Yomi has shortbows that are very easily massed. Why start with Ench 1 then? Because fire shield for Dai-Oni. Fire shield + Black Steel Plate + blessing = indie-stomper. If he dies, he becomes a ghost and probably runs away, so you lose 5 earth gems.

Of course, I have no idea how Il Palazzo is playing them, seeing as I would have gone for an E9Nx bless rather than a SC.

Wow, that province has ALOT of magic sites.

Also, I realised due to overtaxing on the first turn, the unrest I got via event wasn't being reduced automatically via lowered taxes. So, I'm a giant idiot. XD

Very sporting of Hinnomnomnom and Caelum to not just fart on my empire and blow it over that turn though.  :P

Haha as long as you don't start spreading diseases all over me I'm not in a huge rush to go that direction. Although... that magic site province sounds tasty.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Yeah, you and Hinnom had big jumps on the gem income chart this turn. Yomi had a big jump a while ago. I only found two sites this turn, but one of them is a really nice complement to my mage forces.

Of course, your sudden increase in gem income now makes you an even tastier target :P

Which one is it? Place your bets!

(I would name it, but that would probably give one of you the unfair advantage.)

Also, EA C'Tis doesn't spread diseases IIRC, so you're safe on that front XD

And Boksi! Now that I've realised I can ADJUST my tax income to LOWER unrest, who knows what'll happen? :o

Well it's much more fun to go farting on the biggest, scariest empire. Besides, I want you to save me the effort give all your provinces a thorough site searching before I come and take them.  :P

Yes that is an interesting army size graph. I wonder who the culprit could be.

Generally, you want either

Order 3 Misfortune 3

or

Turmoil 3 Luck 3

I was an idiot and didn't pick either of these. :(

EDIT : Karlito makes good points. :)

Misfortune 3 is a nasty business. Misfortune 2 is something you might consider, but misfortune 3 prevents your national heros from spawning and has a few very bad events that are restricted to it. Besides, in this mod, misfortune increases event frequency the same way luck does, so there's another reason not to pick it.

Who me? My invasion is already over. It's his other neighbors who are getting most of the pickings.
