1.00 China, because the retarded disciple FF was pretty much unbeatable. Out of 1.01 Japan and India, I think India is just all around strong, but Japan can get a killer eco in the early game, backed up by the ULTRA annoying Ashigaru Musketeer. Plus the fact that they're hard to raid early game makes aggressive play much less effective. I'd say India is all around stronger, but Japan can almost be as bad as 1.00 China in certain matchups or maps.

I never played china in 1.00. I had the game then but only played a few times. Which is why I said japs. I guess china was pretty bad then. Even I had trouble with China in 1.01 so I can imagine 1.0. India does have strong age 2 military I suppose but they start lacking a bit later in ages imo. Japs don't have an eco compared to India. Sure japs have shrines but they can't hunt. They have to either build a rice paddy or start picking some berry bushes. India has the 99 settler limit plus the Karni Mata. So it's quite nice for them.
