Some great ideas so far. The bushido thing... I hadn't even thought of that yet. What I need is mages for the this era, weak recruit every ones.

I want to keep the Monks of the Five Fold and there spells, and I think the Omnyo-ji should stick around. I'm tempted to keep the Shugenja in, but take out the Master Shujenja.

The idea of having the priest take units with it sounds good, but only 10 at a time.

As to sailing... There are the Wokou, but that is of a later era.

If the Wokou were in the game, I would make Wokou Captain and Wokou Raider
The Captain would have sailing and 25% of Air, 25% of Water Magic. 1 in 8 would have water and air. No lab needed.
Weapons and Armor - Ashigaru Armor, and 2 Wakizashi each. No Helmets.
What do you think. I could make the capital only.

And yes, the Jomon would 100% always start coastal.

Keep the ideas coming. I'll add some information to the first thread about my goal. Keep up the great work.
