I’ve been playing a number of 1V1 skirmish games on moderate difficulty as Ra against the Japanese, and they’ve been almost impossible for me to beat despite my having a decent track record in that game mode no matter which god I pick. Oftentimes, I run out of gold mines on the map while I’m still fighting them, and in one game the Japanese AI did not resign even after I destroyed both their standing TCs. It makes me wonder if the Japanese civ has been made too strong at launch and needs a nerf.
Anyone else having difficulty fighting against the Japanese? Or have you had more luck than I have?
You’re not the first one to say that:
Japanese clearly op
Stats suggest that it’s only Amaterasu that is OP not Japanese in general but the numbers are not that reliable yet because people are still learning the new civ.

I just played a Lightning match as Ra against Tsukuyomi and…I was actually able to kick his butt easily this time. The weird thing, my setting the game to Lightning seems to have been an accident, but it felt really good to grow my economy and army so quickly.
You can see the match up similar as you would play against norse. With Ra you can try 1 TC play in classic age and overwhelm them. Ptah axemen shred samurai which is most of what japan has going on early for them. Trying to not have plenty of smalls battle but instead raid with some spearmen while you mass an army for one big one fight so you dont increase their bushido and get out teched.
Also it may be tricky to fight samurai and forget they are 4 pop units and thinking he has a small army when in your head he might as well have double his army size.
It also matter which one where you facing, since amateratsu is prob the strongest one of the 3.
