Interesting, some people have told me to give up on this game because I have no water access.
I always saw Ryujin as great addition and not something game deciding. Maybe I'm just too inexperienced to properly judge the situation.

I know you won't be, but it's definitely no reason to quit a newbie game. There's no substitute for real MP game experience.
But about those Ryujin, I've used them to great effect in 402. W3 alone is ok, with situationally awesome uses. There's a bunch of useful things in conjuration, alteration and evocations in particular. But it's the crosspaths that are really great and set them apart from your other mages. I won't go over them all here, but every Ryujin variant has a good use. some off-, some on-battlefield. And while some of their paths are cheaper and stronger on a lucky master shugenja, the dragons are durable and can fly three provinces a turn. In plain terms, you have very durable battle mages who can fight where and when you want them to fight. And boy can they fight.

They quite simply enable Jomon to do some things better, and some things Jomon just can't do with mere master shugenjas and onmyo-ji's.

BTW, marignon, I saw your starting position and yes, that appears to be a nice one for your nation :D

Oh you and your scouting ;D

Thanks for sharing.
I'm currently pondering, if setting up Jomon for communions was a wise idea, considering their randomness.
Oh well.

I've been doing ok with indies so far - the mercs I hired first turn cleared the adjacent throne province without incident (then wiped on the next mundane province :p), and after a couple turns building up his army my prophet's been making steady progress.  I'm sure expert players would have captured more in that time, but there's not been any disastrous results.

Though from what my scouts are telling me, some people are up against significantly more resistance... ~130 units including vine ogres and earth gnomes lead by an earth mother gathered around one throne.

No I'm fine don't worry about it. Excellent starting position.

That was seriously the worse sneak attack I've ever seen, Bogarus. I mean, seriously, you lost half of your expansion force to PD! Are you willing to call a ceasefire or are we going to duke it out until one of us is dead?

Alright alright, I just really wanted that province.  I am lacking in gold-heavy provinces in a big way.  Peace.

And what do you mean worse sneak attack?  If you watch the battle, you only had ONE guy who wasn't routing.  ONE.  I was so close!

Good, I accept your offer of peace. Mostly because I need to rearm my armies, but still...

You lost half of your 60~70 unit large army to PD a third of your size. That's absolutely shameful, you know? And I'm pretty sure that my guys routed at the same time as yours. They just had further to flee.

wow, I'm the last one playing today too :/
I'll send my turn in 2h30, guys :D

By the way, in Late age, depending on the nation and the province natives, PD can be very strong, or not at all...
(*has a province with blowgunners near the capital... well, it will stay at 1 PD...*)

It was generic heavy infantry, light infantry and militia. Hardly the stuff of terror, honestly.
