Hello all.
Been playing a lot as India, and really liking it.
Having some trouble against the Japanese, though, particularly against Samurai. If its just samurai on their own, I can hold my own microing with gurkhas, but when they're mixed in an army, they tend to rip through everything pretty effectively, even my elephants.
Any tips?

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I learned a while back not to sepoy rush japan. To be honest, I don't like sepoy rushing in general.
While we're here, I've also been having trouble with the sioux. I can defend against the raids ok (I set up my base so that my agra and TC are on either sides of where the resources are, so I can defend my settlers), but then I get overwhelmed by rifle riders later on. I've tried sepoys and howdahs, but the howdahs just get outnumbered, and the sepoys get mowed down far more easily than I thought.

Urumi do get a SLIGHT damage bonus against cavalry, but yeah, since rifle riders have resist against melee attacks, it essentially evens out.
