Me vs kingofosmsane France vs Japan on Kamchatka. Both are good Japan maps. There are other civs, I just went through a phase where I liked that matchup a lot.
Anything more like that Kynesie game?With other civs like Germany or Port?These were really good games but it just feels like the midgame was the dominant factor(double TP ff iirc)Also walling seemed like a smaller part unlike the Kynesie game.As a student of the game it will be really useful to know what's the right approach if you know the midgame will result in a stalemate or has already.
I'm sure there were some from my Spain steaming times. I beat kynesie off stream on Carolina using unction Spain in age 4/5.
India I have beaten people like TLS in quick search using howdah ffs with only elephants and urumi. So again, late game Japan isn't some magic win condition.
Kynesie types are beating people because they wall and force you to play their game. The long eco control game.
Then the player sends horrible shipments like 5 hussar into 5 layers of walls instead of sending refrigeration and booming.
The mid game is key, but you'll notice I don't over commit. I control the map while booming. I make as little army as I can to accomplish this and ride the 2 falcs and 10 pikes to put him on a shorter clock. That clock is the time he has before he needs to move out. If you can contain and shorten the clock then Japan has to push into a losing situation to get resources. That's what happened in both the osmane and diarouga game.
If someone in the community knows of links to any games I don't have them handy.
Mitoe might have German games. I don't like playing German.
