Very true...and, it got me to thinkin': if it were Britain instead of Japan, they'd've released 1.01b already. ;-)

Now that we're on the subject, how do you beat a Japanese ashi spam with a few yumis mixed in as the Chinese? The hardest counter you have against such things (in colonial) is CKN+pike, which isn't exactly great.

To be honest, Yumi/Ashi mix is too tough imo. Yumis have high base attack and so do Ashis. Either way your units get fuked up cause of their high base attacks. I laugh at how people complain about India being OP but the only thing OP about them is the 10/10 sepoy rush. Other than that they have NOTHING over japan. So you get to kill off 1 or 2 villies? Thats not a problem for japan since they have 10 shrines up with no problem. Sowars can't kill of units with high base attack if they have such little HP. Gurkhas could barely beat ashis now they have 19 attack yumi's firing at them too... Only hope india have is Rajputs to make em go melee, Even then the yumis could take em down with ease and the cost of rajputs is too much.... This is just colonial age.
Only way to beat japan is to strike em with outmassed numbers. Which is not easy to do if japan can train in blocks of 10 and have daimyos spawning units and boosting attack. Japan has ticked me off so much that I just can't stand them anymore.
Sad part is that 50% of ESO pop on TAD is japan. I guess I have to wait it out to where 1.02 is coming out to be satisfied. The 10/10 will probably be nerfed as well making India back to the bottom.
