Are you guys actually going to use all samarui/ninja gear. It would be interesting to see how that goes with archers being so powerful and plentiful atm.
Yes, we will be. It is boring playing strat with only the most cost-efficient gear in the game and having most of the armies looking identical. We want to keep our theme and roleplay with it, regardless of how difficult that makes things later. Would be nice to see other roleplaying factions with an actual theme. I'm sure there are a lot of bamboo spears in just about every faction's arms, simply because it is cost efficient lol.
Yes, we might lose a few battles, or even strategus entirely because of our theme, but for us it is more important to have fun and try to make the game more enjoyable for everyone by supporting themed factions.
