This was really fun to see, I wasn't sure that was going to be a good japan strategy, but it was good. I'm impressed because Italy is an eco civ and Japan just won through eco
The things it's that italy is like brits, has a Great early eco and in mid Game are the Best because they Spike early, but if You do maths, actually brits and italy has worst eco than Japan or others like french/germans, but more to late Game, so yeah italy it's more of a mid Game civ, You want an FI and finish the Game quick, Japan can boom all day chilling, and italy has Bad military units and japans is strong in that department
Loathe Japan's 'safe boom' design. Always have. It's very hard to balance. Kinda glad they aren't considered good :D. So no, I would not like you play Japan :D.
Japan definitely sux rn, kynesie is the japan allfather ofc he makes it look strong. If ailey would have played an artillery comp and not slam infantry into yumis he would have busted kynesie.
To beat japan, even if you have 0 skill or brain playing against an excellent japan player, all you have to do is either rush (japan has the worst early eco in the game) or simply build artillery (japan's artillery sucks and their cav archers are super expensive but easy to kill with musks). This guy didn't rush and didn't build artillery...
@@CazadorDeBrujas22super expensive comp on a slow early game civ. Spain runs u down with 2 falcs rods and lancers the second u hit fortress (that is if you forfeit eco).
@@CazadorDeBrujas22 there's tons of comps that beat that comp, neither unit is that strong, neither s tier in my opinion. Yabusame are have ok damage and ok hp, only thing good is Ranged resistance, but it's very expensive, plus, does not have as much damage or HP to justify that if it's fighting hand cav, it will prevent it from coming close and just beat them Yumi also does not have much HP, and have good damage but bad multipliers, so even a halb spam can counter them...
5 shrines in age 2? This seems a bit OP and cancerous on low to mid elo. It's sad that the game's mechanics are too effective with lazy and boring skirmisher & dragoon play. It heavily favours European play.
Japan is super fun, but I lost 300 elo playing it on the ladder haha quite recently. Depending on the map, you get 1 or 2 cherry orchard start
@10:55 Japan starts with two cherry orchards on maps without natural cherry bushes
He already knew that from the live chat
Yes please Widgie try out Japan, it would be great! Strange how India and Malta completely disappeared; haven't seen them been played in weeks
Sure thing! I will have a look!
There it is, Shogun on the Field, GG called. 😂 Too baddass that Tokugawa
Playing off-meta civs is always fun to watch, please try out Japan!
Yeah I will have to give them a go!
Its japan?😂
Japan does have the opportunity to train in batches of ten. Pretty fast massing.
Those papal lancers experienced their own Crecy
Like 8 ad breaks in 23 minutes. Cmon man
Japan gets a second cherry orchard when no berries are around
what happened to the full live stream of this, i remember catching it the other day but its no longer on the live tab?
It was taken down, most livestreams will be taken offline so that I can select juicy bits of content for people that missed the stream
This strategy has many options once the first shrine card is sent.
Are Aussie Drongo and Widgie not the same person?!

You really must hate the Dutch xD
How come you think walls are toxic until your friend uses them? Then they are OK?
I have never played with japan but i'll try it looks fun
I'm stealing kynesie's deck, I've always wanted to revive Yabu-Yumi comp.
alle commited because he has no food resources he needed the bison
Yea he’s good but the strategy is basic level stuff. Like the Cheyenne’s Buffalo hunt for the shrines.
And they say Japan is D tier huh...

All Japan units are Tier S, that civ is very strong
