Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Jomon

Jomon is the feudal society of humans reigning after the fall of the Bakemono.

Units
Jomon has some of the most resource intensive national troops, with only the Ashigaru using less than 20. Also worth noting is the complete lack of shields. Aside from magical means your troops only have their heavy armor to protect them, making crossbows particularly scary.


 * Ashigaru
 * Gold 8, Resources 12
 * This is your typical 'militia' type unit. However, they have slightly higher stats than your average national militia and you may find yourself recruiting Ashigaru from time to time.  Their decent protection and long spears (reach 5) make them a cheap way to hold back cavalry, freeing your pricier units up to do the real killing.


 * Samurai Archer
 * Gold 11, Resources 27
 * Heavy infantry archers with longbows! They are rather expensive to produce but you don't have to commit as many troops to protecting them so it may balance out depending on how your organize your army.  Archery does not cause fatigue, so they make a nasty surprise for worn out enemies breaking through the battle line.

 * Gold 10, Resources 21
 * Heavy infantry with long and pointy sticks.


 * Samurai (katana)
 * Gold 10, Resources 24
