Got a question on which civilization should i select to play in asian dynasties. I am a starter and I have been playing with the Ottomans. My friend has been playign for a while and for this expansion he started playing with India. I want to win and I am tired of loosing from him. What is the best civilization that I should be going with and what should be my strategy. If anyone can help that would be great.

Test...China..

I'm not a expert at sup games so...

Out of the three asian dynasties civs, I'd say china would be best against India. Hit him hard with a chu ko nu/pikeman rush and maybe bring along some disciples.

The key is to try and beat him before he gets to the fortress age. If he gets to fortress, his economy will really start to speed up, and he'll have access to India's best units.

When playing with China(if you do), you must attack india early. Beware he might have his agra fort in front of his base with around 10-15 sepoys, go behind his base, where you would only face 5 sepoys. After sepoys are gone it's gg.

 But, you can always FF with hand mortars and disciples,which would definetly take him out.

Your friend is probably going to FF or Sepoy rush. In both cases Chu-ko-Nu's are good against him (Sepoys or nothin at all), and you can simply send in military cards that overthrow the tide of a battle: 7 Steppe riders (great as 2nd card, for burning down fb and raiding), 9 Qiang pikemen, for burning down the guy's TC, 8 Chu-Ko-Nu's, for recovering from a defeat.

But note that, what i call "disciple attack", simple consists of having tons of disciples with White pagoda and the monk card and backed with Hand mortars that wipe all buldings.
