French FF?
Russ blockhouse and contain?

You're forgetting the mirror.

Some people would recommend India vs Brit.

They're a good civ though.

nah no way, its def even if not brit favored on esoc maps.

India is not even as one sided as people make it out to be its a 55/45 mu.
A good brit rapes france, there semi is better, there age 2 is better, there eco is better.
I would say russia contain is there only horible mu, not sure why they have not been nerfed yet.

Depends on map. I would probably Japan and try to cheese out a win because Brit players tend to misplay that match up.

How do they misplay?

Would you try and stay age 2 or get to fortress?

lb piki can lose fairly easily to nagi-yumi-club defense in my experience.

Back to the original question though. I personally would play otto and ff, mirror, or cheese with Japan. I would probably end up playing india though, as india is very good against brits with most strats and aren't very map dependent. However, brit doesn't hard-counter really any civs in the way that other civs do, so you can play pretty much anything against them and have a decent matchup.

ep maps are too rich that map contain is not that available.
brit vs japan: 5-10 pikes to siege, go longbow then hussar. 700w 600w 700g etc.

That's the build I do too. Talking to some players better than me they also say to start lbow and try to idle jap vills right away. Just another option. It's so hugely favored for Brit though I don't think it matters too much. You can win that MU a lot of ways.

japan is good if you can constantly shrine up the hunts
then age up and make ashigarus and flaming arrows. win-win.
Its even better on EP maps because theres more hunts from the get go

yeah Otto might be the worst as Brit, you always encounter the situation where youve got more (or an even number of) units and lose to less otto units not even being microed well

i don't think ep russia has a chance vs brit
they have 270f vill batch again (thanks to lordraphael), and EP maps are way too rich, that "starve" becomes impossible.

Otto doesnt win easily on ep tbh. The nerf to abus and better maps with more exposed tp routes make colo jan abus less viable. And the ff is a risky move imo. Brits have enough res to ff themself now, so it will be a cannon fight decider

India ofc will be a solid pick. Russia too, though imo its brit favored, its still close. I think the new sioux is good, and iro might also be solid.

It's not, I've just found people allow themselves to be tricked into chasing ashi around the map while Japan ages up. Then you can hold the timing with ashi+FA, or yumi+FA with some well-placed walls. It's a cheesy build and if they respond to it correctly you won't win, but to beat Brit you gotta pull out the cheese :P
