single most dominant unit

Hatamoto samurai (aka buffed up ronin) from the Japanese consulate is that unit. Ninjas get good multipliers, but Hatamotos have enough splash, resist, attack, and hp to outlast them.

Weed n aoe

While an occasional smoke won't hurt you anymore than an occasional beer will, there are serious consequences to consider if you are a long-term weed user. Just like any other drug, moderation can be fun, but heavy use can ruin your life. The reason I don't use marijuana is the detrimental effect it...

Noob starts like this are easy to scout out and counter - mm, a tower (if you are a civ that gets one), and some good vil fighting rape strats like the ones OP mentioned.

Should India be considered an OP/lame civ?

Saying that a civ is OP implies that it cannot be countered effectively. This is not true for Japan and it is not true for India.

Does China stand a chance vs India?

I think the superior Indian units win, especially since China relies on melee anticav to keep sowars and mahouts away. India can also use some early sepoy pressure while China is trying to age, slowing them down. The only scary moment for India might be when China has arqs and redcoats out, but the ...

Should India be considered an OP/lame civ?

India is only lame if you give them enough time to mass up their OP units, but that is true for just about every civ. They are better than average, but vulnerable to timing pressure.

Aside from countering cuir spam, there is no legitimate use for samurais. They are in the same camp as halbs, slow units, only good at lame base rushes.

British vs Japan

Britain wins this MU as long as they consistently siege down shrines with their starting pikes and catch the monks. Because the Brits can get a blob of units out faster due to a quick economy, Japan can be contained quickly. But if you don't take advantage of Japan's early vulnerabilies, he will get...

dumb mistakes u should avoid

Unlike a few people here, I find that I focus too much on killing vile and not enough on destroying infrastructure. You should always kill vile if they are vulnerable, but you should also try to kill houses and military buildings to halt enemy production.

Villager management and distribution is huge. Having wandering/idle/vulnerable vils can end a game in seconds. And distribution can be a problem when you have 1000 wood and no food or gold when an enemy army comes sweeping through..

Create a blacklist of (confirmed) cheaters.

I support this assuming that proof is provided in the form of screenshots and videos. If we place people of this list purely on the basis of personal accusations, we risk starting a witch hunt.

ryzon is actually also paid to "reinforce" the community and take care of ESO accounts (ie ban cheaters), but according to the few times I checked his twitter he rather play COD. sad Sounds like a cushy job.
