Redemption without a Cause:

Japan is bullcrap, why ES refused to nerf them confuses me.

Possibly because all ES employees also lame Japan when they play this game?

There we go, even less reason for me to ever play this game online again.

EVERYONE recognizes them as OP, and it's ruining the game because so many people are constantly laming as Japan. It doesn't even matter to me if they're OP anymore or not, just...give people a solid reason not to play as Japan, FFS.

Lol, do you really think that's why Japan got boosted? It was because they had this "slow" early game. Change Japan to what they were before, nerf Ashis, and they're good.

Honestly WHY was this revived? I saw it on like the 2nd or 3rd page when I was looking for a post to reference yesterday.

Let it return to the grave please. 

Japan is the most OP civ :

Japan has one of the strongest ECONOMIES in the game.

Unlike every other civ Japan has 20 shrines + 1 Togawa shrine + 1 bank =

22.5 wood/s + 2.75 gold/s or more (They can be boosted further with Team wool staple ports)

This can be equal to or greater than 3 factories and 1 chinese Porcelain tower !

Most will say Japan is weak as it has only 75 settlers, however, few realise that Japan has not one, but FOUR unique economic upgrade shipments. These 4 shipments ( 3 rice paddy upgrades and team chronido) add 31% economy to food and coin.

Using China as a benchmark, Japan has the equivalent of a 103 worker Chinese economy (taking into account all upgrades and shrines and bank).
