Well, I'm of the opinion that LA Jomon, and related Nations, should get an "air shield" bonus with their O-yori: a 40% air shield for their heaviest "samurai" armour, and a 20% for the regular samurai variety.

Also, Jomon could conceivably have a capital-only nagamaki-wielding unit, that would get a x2 bonus to larger creatures, if you wanted to mod one in. That doesn't sound like it would be too balance-destroying, and it's reasonable, for a Nation that had a history of fighting and winning against giant demons, and big ogrish goblins.

I can't see the sense in that.

You can argue their armour is better than other armour against certain kinds of missiles, but translating that into dominions as an air shield is just silly.

I like Jomon not having shields. I agree they're a bit crippled by it.
