The power of Yumi

@Jonasnee8581

longbows are straight up better, so longbows will beat them.

so will any melee cav or art.

LB is definitely stronger than Yumi.
However, there is no opinion that Britain is more OP than Japan.
And how do other civs without LB deal with Yumi?
A simple comparison of units is meaningless unless you are using only one unit.

The power of Ashigaru

Well, very late game, yep, they are not as strong. I do agree that mid game they are indeed op, and I know most euro civs won’t get to that point vs japan if they just let the Japanese player boom. I think that all japan needs is a change to their crate start and then they will be fine as it will make their early game a lot weaker and other civs will have a larger window to hurt them

Shrine

If you want to say that, The factory should be no need cards, no need to be in the industrial era, can built anytime you need, and support the population Plus, even after all upgrades, shrine gives more resources.

I wrote not only Yumi, I also wrote about Ashigaru and the shrine.
Besides that, I plan to experiment with other Japanese OP units and write a thread.
