I also have a few questions/thoughts about the demons.
The fantasy Asia strategy/war board game me and my friends made (I mentioned it a few posts ago) had several demon factions. We mostly devided the demons into smaller factions due the way the looked and what kind of "realm" we thought they fitted into. Not only that, we also found out that except that it looked better it also gave every demon faction a more unique look and strategical profile. As I mentioned we had THE RESTLESS wich consisted of demons, spirits, beings and beasts that we found to be creepy, haunting, ghoulish or/and ghostlike. It was ruled by an evil ancient sorcerer/mystic and his disciples. THE LEGION consisted of demons, spirits, beasts and beings that that we thought to be more devilish/hellish, beastlike, cacophonic or/and brutal (such as Four armed Demons, Oni etc.). We also had a Cult-like faction of cultists, fanatics and outlaws. The cultists obeyed a godess much like Kali (we called the faction "the Bandit swarm" or "the Gathering" as mentioned before).
I don't know if you like the idea of making two sub-factions of the demon faction. But as it looks now you already have (nearly) enough troops to make two quite different-looking factions... at least I think so.
Suggestions on the troops already made...
Demon faction 1: The Ghost realm
Zombie Ashigaru
Undead Samurai
Ghost Geishas
Noh Demons
Floating Hags
Beast Riders
Demon Samurai (or maybe Kagemusha/Ghost general?)
Demon faction 2: The Demon realm
Bakemono
Hanaya
Snow monkeys
Wang Liangs
Shishi Riders
Copperdragon
The Rokurokubi would fit in both of the factions. Maybe only wearing different colored robes to sort them out (red and black robes for the demons and ghost-white and black robes for the ghosts).
I personally think that the Kappa-troops, Tengu Camelrider and the Basket Ronin would fit better as mercenary troops.. I can't really motivate it thou.
Well thats just what I think.
Any way, as I (and many before me have) said before: this mod will be the coolest mod/totalwar-game ever. It's about time that somebody make a descent strategic wargame that take place in Asia (well at least a mythologic/fantasy Asia).
