No.
The biggest weakness for them is their slow early game from my experience.

Japan and Swedes are awful and have a fair amount in common. Faster muskets, house factories, safer economy, scale well late. Sweden less so now but itâs still decent and above average.

As long as the comments contain good ideas and arguments, I do not care that the incendiary and sensational titles triumph.

I think the same with the next civ (either Morocco or South Africa) will be 20 civs in the gameâŚthen what would be the next 5 civs to add to the game (Italy,Poland,Persia,Korea/Siam and maybe Vietnam)âŚ

Yesterday I saw at brittish settlers most tannedâŚand only the mens
To spanish are always shown too tanned by the Arab influence in the south or because they think this is Africa but most of us are white.

I voted Japan. It has so much potential, although more difficult than most civs, itâs also very fun to play with and the units and buildings are gorgeous. However, probably because noobs think itâs OP, the civ has been nerfed to death and itâs unplayable at higher ranks, japan players will lose most times, even against less skilled players. Early game is too slow (no hunt, no bonus on berries), shipment are terrible compared to other civs, late game is bad because no factories, no artillery, weak rice paddies and no bills bonuses etc, mid-game is decent if the opponent doesnât destroy the eco early game, the shrine boom is terrible compared to other kinds of booms like the Dutch banks, samurais are cool (in the game and in history) but unplayable because too expensive and so on. Who wins and loses should be based on player skills and strategy, not the civ choice.

Japanese shipments are the worst in the game. You can send them twice but they are worst than any other civ (less villagers, less units, less resources etc.). Itâs only a small advantage sometimes in 40+ minutes treaty when you can send all your shipments. Japan is slow early game because they canât hunt, and the worst shipments on top of that makes them completely unplayable competitively.

Also their military upgrades are maybe not the worst but definitely one of the worst, and it´s not that those shipments are terrible, but they are worse compared to other civs, for example, to increase the stats of your infantry you need to send 3 cards, and only buffs the atk, not even the hp, on most european civs just one age 2 card buffs 2 units, and they have a second one that buffs their hp, so with 2 cards you buff atk and hp of at least 2 units, for civs like dutch those cards buff all their infantry, 3 units, wich is the same as japanese, but they need 3 cards and only buff their atk, and that´s also in age 3, a card that only buffs 2 range and 15% hp of 1 unit is really underwhelming, even the hp of naginata was not nearly op and they nerf it, most civs have +15% hp and atk to all their cavalry, sometimes is 3 units, and this was 30% to just hp to 1 unit, and so on, i really like the nature of those cards, i´m not saying that they should be like all the other ones, i think is good japanese incentivize particular army compositions, rather than relying on all your units every single match, i like that the cards are just for 1 unit and stronger, but should be at least a bit stronger⌠And i also get annoyed by the players that only complain about japan and make them get nerfed

inca, this civ is a disaster impossible to balance with mechanics who have nothing to do in aoe3 (aka military garrison, chimus, invisible building, convert units ), turtle capacity which is way too high, age 3 unit completely unkillable aka bola and huaraca, so this civ is a disaster really
ngl, i really hate this civ so much that i donât want her to be in the game anymore

Ottomans are âtoo Europeanâ? What does that even mean? They had the most amount of unique units in the game for over a decade (not sure if they still do). And historically it literally took over huge swaths of Europe and had a Eurasian identity that whose inhabitants could commonly pass for one or the other, whereas the âtruly Europeanâ nations took over and colonized non-Europeans when they werenât busy slaughtering themselves in civil wars.
Unless youâre referring to their infrastructure apart from the mosque and would like something more unique about them since they straddled not just Europe but Asia and the Middle East too?

its not like the ottomans didnât have a tradition of killing their siblings when taking up the thrown due to the issue of pretender wars.
