I hope you feel filthy for using Nagi-hp vs me in the tourney
Nagi HP is indeed an absolutely filthy card. I can't really figure out how to play French vs Japs either.
At our level you don't beat japan, they're simply op before a certain level.
Well I can generally beat them with Brits just fine, unless I'm trying my shitty Gren strat. (which worked vs Acergame once!)

Brits are good vs japan for sure, it's still a pretty lame civ at our level simply as it's hard to push them until you're of a higher level. Rouga seems to think it's pr30 when they're not op.

I play at a very modest level but i've had some success with semi ff or just straight ff with falc timing. It depends on the map, but on TP maps it should work. Otherwise you could try the french church ff with grenadiers :uglylol Chances are, they won't have a stable up most of the time so you're likely to get away with it and end the game pretty soon.
Also i don't think japan is necessarily broken at our level. I think it has a somewhat hard early game, compared to euro civs. If you let them get 150+ pop of shrines of course they'll be a pain in the ass but technically you should try and be able to deny that. One mistake i used to make was to go after shrines rather than just to their base. If you waste time on shrines you'll give them a lot of time to prepare and they'll probably be able to afford losing 6-7 shrines and still be fine.

Yeah thing is denying shrines means staying in age 2 longer which is exactly what Japan wants you to do. It's a tough dynamic.

Way better to deny shrines in age3, you just have to ignore them in age2. Just go 3 and mass cuirs (which obliterate every japanese unit in age2)+2 falcs and at that point you can deny shrines because cuirs have decent siege and mobility, and falcs destroy shrines in 15 seconds.

Exactly the same thing, PLUS opening this thread and seeing your useless post describing my own despair
