I still want to learn how to do a good japan rush since in treaty games they are way OP with the daiayamos and shoguns allowing you to move your whole army right behind the enemies base just after your enemies army is starting to march towards your base. Making your opponent have to switch the directions of his army then he has to march through his whole base beiung slowed down by buildings and fleeing villagers just to fight back. Giving you enough time to criple his eco

What about those club guys you csn get from the allying with yourself or from the shogun? They are good against calv and buildings. They are nice in treaty games for breaching walls alongside the ashi

read the release notes MNBob posted...

Asian Mercenaries and Outlaws: Asian versions of Elmeti, Mamelukes, and Li'l Bombards are now not available until the Industrial Age. Asian versions of Jaegers, Iron Troops, Thuggees, and Renegados have the same modifiers against Cavalry, Coyote Men, Eagle Knights, and Light Cavalry as their European counterparts do.
