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.

General description of the units in the nations rooster, any standouts, shared qualities aka temperature, any foreign rec, what makes a good basis to plan around

intro Information in how Yomi Freespawn works. Oni will appear in all temples that are inside Yomi’s dominion. A high Turmoil scale will increase the number of Oni that appear in the temples and not affected by your dominion Strength but requires 1 candle to be present.

The location of the temple determines what type of Oni might appear – mountains or highlands are required to get the most powerful types. Cold or Warm provinces often result in the Ao-oni or Aka-oni that thrive in that type of climate. Temples in temperate provinces without mountains or highlands will only get the least powerful Oni.

Disciples to Yomi do not get this dominion feature.

Shared Traits: demon(If Alive) or Ethereal and undead(If Ghost), Undisciplined, Chaos Power(1), Gluttony, Pillager, Cause Unrest, Wounded Shape Oni Spirit, Mountain Survival, Need not Eat, Spirit Sight

Img	Unit Name	—-SpecialAttributes—-	Comments
	Ko-Oni	Gluttony (1) Pillager(1) Cause Unrest(+0.1 per month) Wounded Shape Oni spirit	The common Demonic Chaff of Yomi. Use like Bakemono, Font lines that make a lot of attacks but die somewhat easily (except enemies have to also kill their ghosts) which give them more staying power. will passively accumulate some from Oni Shugo and Dai Oni.
	Aka-Oni Spawns in scales	Resist Fire(5) Gluttony (2) Pillager(1) Cause Unrest(+0.3 per month) Wounded Shape Oni Spirit	One of the rank and file Oni above Ko-Oni. Only recruitable in hot provinces, They hit hard with their Clubs and AP Fireball, Penetrating most armour worn by most EA units.
	Ao-Oni Spawns in scales	Resist Cold(5) Gluttony (2) Pillager(1) Cause Unrest(+0.3 per month) Wounded Shape Oni Spirit Snow-Move	A lesser-seen Oni as Going Yomi for the ranged Aka-Oni is more tempting. Like the Aka-Oni but has a Chill 20 attacks but is partially reduced by protection. Other units will be slowed down by snow but they and the recruitable oni commanders will not be.
	Oni Spawns in mountains or highlands	Gluttony (2) Pillager(1) Cause Unrest(+0.5 per month) Wounded Shape Oni Spirit	Higher quality Oni that comes out of the mountains. when mixed with other units they are decent in combate.
	Kuro-Oni Spawns in mountains or highlands	Resist Fire(5) Resist Poison(5) Gluttony (3) Pillager(2) Cause Unrest(+0.5 per month) Wounded Shape Oni Spirit	upgraded Oni with minor resistance, throw fire, and Spit poison.
	Amanojaku Spawns in mountains or highlands Rare.	Sacred Resist Fire(5) Resist Poison(5) Gluttony (3) Pillager(2) Cause Unrest(+1 per month) Wounded Shape Oni Spirit	A Rare spawn. Sacred Demons in heavy armour. Too uncommon to make a strategy around them but try to bless them if used.
