Jomon Analysis: 3.21

JimMorrison · #1 January 1st, 2009, 07:34 PM

Honestly, as I've been playing Jomon quite a bit, I have to agree that I do not find their archers to be particularly effective, against much of what you face in LA. By the same token, I don't find enemy archers to be particularly effective against Jomon's armor, even though it is not the highest for the age.

I think a lot of it comes down to playstyle, but I've got some very divergent ideas about Jomon, almost "Baalzy" in the "no, Jomon actually doesn't suck" kind of way. Perhaps once my 2 MP Jomon games get deeper in, I will write up a competing, but complementary guide for Jomon as well - from the 2 of them, there ought to be something for everyone.

Excellent. Until then, I look forward to being killed by you in humanwar so you can show me how to play them

Totally contingent on my concepts translating well into MP.

It's all stuff that isn't very applicable, or very interesting in SP tests..... so I know how to expand well enough, and I know what I want to do after that, I just don't know if it will kill you or not.

It probably will, my strategy for that game is bordering on insanity

Jomon is not as bad as everyone thinks.

Consider, there are a few pillars the game really rests on.

Pretender Chassis.
Troops.
Mages.
SC Chassis

Jomon has fine pretender chassis, good mages, good SC Chassis.
Only its troops suck.
