Hmm, this is a tall order. I'll answer this in full to the best of my ability later.

Oh of course, what a "strategy," basically do what every other Japanese player under PR 29 does.

Hahah...Nav, somehow I doubt it's as bad, but yes, our political system sucks balls.

But ours is more of the "elicits disgust" category as opposed to the "rips apart families" category.

Number 2 is most agreeable with me. Number 3 was indeed quite bad. Need a milder shade of yellow for that one methinks.

I'm using the dark grey / black theme.

If somebody sends me some of the concept art etc and gives me some suggestions as to what they'd like to see, I can make a simple yet nice looking banner for each of the themes.

I liked the banner with the white pistol background a lot better than the new one with the TAD background.

The text is not very well done on this new one.

Agreed!

Well, I think it just means that map control is of prime importance for the Japanese (as it is with any other civ.)

I think it is definitely nice, though like I said in another post it would be nice if there were options besides white (and I'm looking forward to a less stringent avatar size limit).

Good work guys.

Well, the Dutch are a poor example since their economy is particularly easy to defend, in fact, almost unraidable. But if you look at a civ like the Ottomans (again, I think the parallel is a pertinent one to draw to Japan) their economy is very easily raided and quite fragile, since it takes a long...

I'll give it a go when I have some time.

Can some of you guys find some source pictures that you think would help to make a good banner (concept art, wallpapers, etc)?

That would be helpful.
