This video was getting pretty long so I didn't include the research priority segment. Here are my thoughts at least on early game priorities: Conjuration 3 - Powers, Bakenekos, Kappas Alteration 4-5 - Earth Meld, Wind Guide, Swarm, Maws, Wooden Warriors Construction 2 - Owl Quills, Dwarven Hammers, Shambler Skin Armor Enchantment 4 - Strength of Giants, Flaming Arrows Thaumaturgy 2 - Communions, Mind Burn(Keep in mind however it'll be a minute before you can build a critical mass of Onmyojis)

This is an example of a nation that really should employ remote site search, specifically for death. Dark knowledge only requires D1, and it's unlocked on the conjuration school path so you don't have to go out of your way to access it. IMO you shouldn't be site searching death at conj 8 with those guys because you should already have cast dark knowledge on every decently likely death site before getting there. If you do that, ring of sorcery would let even D1 mages forge skull staff, summon a mound fiend, and hand the boosters to that to get to lichcraft + skullface (all the big death you'd need). If you go rainbow might as well just tack on some death, but if you're going astral dragon or something you can still break into death pretty effectively like that. Snek epitomizes the "boring but effective" trope. A brick of HP with high prot + fear, on a nation that can later slap a regen ring on it. It can be countered, but it's not easy to counter it year 1-2 and it just slaughters indies above/below water. A lot of expanders you wouldn't send into barbs, heavy cavalry, etc but in dominion hardskin earth serpent can just walk into those and take them...unlikely to get it kicked out of water early either. Later on with soul slay, AP attacks, and big evocations it turns into a bulky mage, but on Jomon you can make a good case for it. A bit harder to boost death but still doable if you're pushing the income with early bakeneko.

dude i find your channel when you began the dominions content and i am ot leaving keep doing the gods work man

Thank you Mr. Attica, very cool. A happy new year to all my fellow Dominions degenerates, here's to a strong showing in 2020 as well.

Return of the king! All hail his grace! I would love it you could cover some nations you would consider good for beginners.

Seducing a ghost cat is a real bruh moment. I guess a cat is fine too.

What's really weird is that the humanoid form for those is male. (the cat form is female tho)

If I recall correctly, the Onmyojis were slow-to-recruit back in Dom 4 as well. I'm not certain though, didn't play Jomon much back then.

Just a point you missed : it's the sacred level which increases the signs' effects. That means that when prophetizing a master Shugenja, an A1 or A2 will do the same job of casting the fear not sign. I find this quite interesting to expand with one party of air shielded samurais.

Larger is a good bless on jomom. Size 6 dragons are good. Glaive sacreds are also great at expansion with larger. Much repel and hp, very wow. Passive bless in general is good on ryujin.

With bakenekos especially the fire variety I enjoy employing them as gem ferries with their long map move.

If you want to climb D with Nushi, you are one W booster away from being able to cast Steams of Hades. Guaranteed W3D3 mage, for a little more than half the price of Hidden in snow.

I might be reading it wrong but aren't Okami designed to be sneaky bodyguards to surprise enemy assassins? Still an awesome video, this is a great deep dive.

I actually think atlantis is trivially easy to deal with as jomom. No idea where the community got the idea that jomon v atlantis is bad for jomon. A ryujin thug with a lightning whip casting foul vapors can delete basically an infinite amount of iceguard in cold 3.

I wonder if trying transformation spell on the nushi to remove it's homesickness and on the yama-no-kami to get him moving around might be worth considering? Appreciate the videos at the end detailing what the units capabilities are in combat. It's always a little hard to tell if the paper stats amount to a lot on the field.
