EA Yomi, the Oni Kings

Yomi is a nation based on Japanese mythology and especially in this age around the myths of the underworld (hell). Violent demons spew forth from their capital to bring death and misfortune to the human population, aided by evil sorcerers and other henchmen. The demons remain as national summons in later ages into Shinuyama and Jomon, but in this age they are prevalent and plentiful as they can be recruited from any fort with a lab and a temple.

The lands of Oni Kings are primitive and poor, represented by several game mechanics. First, Yomi gets a 25% income penalty. Secondly, they can only build primitive forts with only 1 commander point so recruitment of mages is slower than other nations. Thirdly, all oni troops cause unrest which further decreases their gold income, and have turmoil power so picking turmoil scales on them is mandatory. Also, most of their gold recruitable troops have low tech weapons and armour, and shields are not used at all.

The main strengths of the nation are strong demon commanders and troops, a good capital recruitable super-combatant chassis(with few weaknesses though), and access to good spell paths, especially in death magic. Even the most basic ko-oni hit hard in turmoil and survive because of their ethereal second shape. Later in the game your oni commanders can survive a lot of things that kill frail human mages.
