===Mages===

;Uba: W1 D1 N1 ?1 (WEDN 100%)-She’s a pretty basic mage. There’s a handful of useful spells for her, like Ghost Grip, Decay, or a few evocation spells depending on picks, but she’s not best used in battle. She can summon the early national summons, and some of the late ones for Shinuyama without help, and make decent researchers. The poison Dagger is not very useful because she is not much of a Melee fighter. She can change shape to the form of a cat. While losing most magic skills in this form (all magic -1), she gain stealth ability and ~~strat~~ move 3.

;Bakemono Shaman: ?1 H1 (FWED 100%)-The Bakemono Shaman is a good unit to lead stealthy troops with a leadership of 40 and can cast a small variety of low level spells depending on picks. It has both mountain and forest walk, so it can get around quickly so if you don’t want to tie up a different unit, building temples is a good job for him. However, at Holy 1 stealthy preaching doesn’t have much of an effect. But then again, H1 is the highest priest level you can recruit. You only need a temple to build this unit (possible bug?).

Shinuyama isn’t really pick up and play, so it takes a bit of practice to figure out what works and what doesn’t and the first few turns can be very difficult. Once you get it down pat though, it’s a bit easier. I do think the nation could use some minor tweaks in future patches, such as giving some sacred summons to your national mages to at least make a bless strategy viable as there’s really no way to summon enough units to keep up with another nation with a couple of castles, but the strength of the later sacred units kind of makes up for it. Anyway, you can still have some fun with it.
