Skarten, would your character be more of a craftsman or warrior?

More of a Craftsman that happens to be a Military history nerd.

No, Yamatzon is not really shamanic. I haven't worked out all the details yet.
Could you explain to me exactly how being assimilated into the Night Owl religion works?

No, i just didn't post my argument yet.
But anyways, here's the Argument
First of all, i have a better type of Spear (Su Yari), 2nd, Yaroshima knows about that stuff.
And since the characters are based on real life,I'll say that one time i Crafted a Spear Head too!
It wasn't perfect, of course, but i did craft a Spear head on real life.
3rd, Lemme check these Yekremian posts.

First, again, Yekrenia's been around longer, so they probably have better spears.
Second, maybe so, but I'm not making the spears. And also, I actually IRL know a bit about military strategy. Do you?
Third, not a disproving, but just telling you Yekrenia's inactive. G probably knows about Yekrenia; ask him.

Craftsman. I'm no warrior. I'm not planning on fighting the battles. I do, however, know some military strategy.

Aye, you're not wrong. Yek's Author never got around to building anything more complicated than primitive copper weapons, but it has been fifty years since that was introduced. They probably have some scale-mail and the like.

Ah, you won't, though I think I remembered to include his domain on the map. Yekrenia's Author, the RPer Yekrenia, hasn't been back for months IRL.

Still, He doesn't got all his stuff.
Plus, Su Yari spears are still the best design.

Certainly. Yatz will have to work for anything he receives- for instance, hiring out his fledgling band as mercenaries in exchange for weapons.

They're certainly a design. Best, better, is more of a subjective judgement.

Probably a simple copper spear, after the European fashion. That was what Yek introduced, though more sophisticated warriors may have developed other designs in the interim.

Su Yar is superior to the European fashion Short-spears on a good quantity of stuff.

I'll explain.
Find a picture of what you think Yekremian spears look like.
The basic design, anything works (even if it isn't made of copper, i just need the design)

Aye, I’ve looked them up. It seems to me they are quite similar weapons.

Mostly with missionary work and making similarities between Yamatzon with the Night Owl Religion, which still has no name as of yet, and starts getting the people to make a sort of denomination within the Night Owl religion. As of right now, Yamatzon can be its own denomination that has your character being a Messenger of the Night Owl of the Japanese/Far East Asia region.

A Yari is no better than say, a pike in and of itself. The difference comes from quality of manufacturing and training.

Which I think both people fighting or interacting with another don't have. However, maybe I should start doing pike training for Ego's troops.

I mean a simple spear-and-shield wall will win any battle at this point, especially if supported by skirmishers.

True, perhaps whoever gets the best longbow would be able to determine the fact of Japan?
