Except nobody wins those MUs. Classic semi vs Germany is hopeless by the way. And your builds vs Russia are too slow to hold a rush. He will have units in your base before you can even age and you won't have time to build a rax.
And by the way, mankle used to do something similar vs Spain, and he lost 3-0 to piroshiki lol.
I did that vs Russia plenty of times and it works. With no cons at start you even age before russia if you get a food treasure and they dont. 5 clubs come before Cossacks and tuen you have 5-5-5-5 yumi np. I won vs piroshiki with just n slightly adapted standard jap. Go kami +300w on gold ( on good 300w starts can even do normal 600w instead). Switch to jap cons while aging, send 300export for more clubs (or just 5 ashi) and take down the tower. Just keep massing ashi and add a stable ehile you can. You are at 100-110/200 pop whole game which is good eco vs Spain aggro FF and can always add shrines if given the time.

Anyway, I don't know how I feel about Japan right now. They're either average or terrible, one of the two for sure but I don't know which.
i think they're close enough to being average that if you remove the deck scouting they would be at least average. Imo that should have been removed long ago anyway regardless of the balance. It just doesn't make sense.
How many games has the German civilization won and how many has it lost so far in THE NEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2019? I feel that most of the games I watched, in that tournament, the German civilization lost.
I wonder why everyone and his mom spams japan on ep if it's such a bad civ.
The way Mitoe plays japs always feels very hard to beat. I think most people just play them wrong.
Agreed, the deck scouting is dumb and shouldn't be a thing. Removing it would be a huge buff for japan though so we'd have to do it carefully.

Or maybe you play worse vs his style. Even he says they are average or terrible. It is quite bad civ and everyone who plays them tells the same story but how would you know.
There are of course other design reasons for which they give them double shipments. Still it's an advantage. And btw 5 ahsi is same res as 6 musks, and 4v is that way because of the civ design (same logic as why Dutch, Sioux and Otto were given 4v).

you should be able to, though maybe it kinda depends on how far the japan units have to walk to get to the tower. assuming japan units come from base and your tower is a bit to the side, you should be able to save it. spain can reach III at 7:05 with 5 musk + 5 otw, 5 dogs, 7 rods from shipment and 4 huss from age. maybe if japan ages before 4:30 then you can get it down, idk.
