Papal lancers aren't mercenaries so ninjas did nothing to them. Unfortunate you didn't seem to know that

[@Vinermaschine]

Unfortunatly the Papal Lancers were the only cav unit WITHOUT the merc/native tag... So you had some very suboptimal trades with your ninjas there 😅 They would have 2 shotted the harqebusiers and the light ranged cav.

[@schadowizationproductions6205]

Eh, the light cav was from the native posts, so no bonuses there as well. That ninja shipment unfortunately was for nothing.

[@Vinermaschine]

@@schadowizationproductions6205 ninjas have 5x vs natives

[@Junior-qm2lz]

Why didn't you produce hatamoto samurais instead of ninjas?

[@Enclave33]

The samurai are two times the cost

[@burak6685]

​@@Enclave33 Even a few Hatamoto Samurais would annihilate those melee cav mass.

[@ajbomba9489]

Yes a Japan game! I was like: yeah u should not give Italia time but neither u should give Japan. I was really suprised you got clapped so hard in the end, but makes sence since I had a simulair experience against those units and I got clapped so hard. Those Harque units are absoluetly insane units mixed in with the other cav makes every civ looks D-tier I think. 😂

[@lolslayer58]

Japans late game is not that great anymore with all the power creep...especially with that vill limit and having no factories x.x

[@raphaeldantona1550]

Well, theoretically, Papal Lancers work as an infinite mercenary. But in practice, they are "papal allies". So, yes, I guess it's an Italian civ. bonus.

[@AOEBYZULFIQAR]

If pressure is put on the Italian at the beginning, he becomes completely crippled. But I wonder how he made five Lombards so quickly!!??

[@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh]

Even some normal samurai or your ronin might have been a good shout. rip

[@schadowizationproductions6205]

No chance against the Balkan and Italian heavy cav. Only possibility might have been mass Yabusame + kiting.

[@barron_theory]

Haha Harquebusiers bully Japan’s units even on their own

[@Japanesegamer776]

You need to train samurai and many troops As you can against it.

[@kazamkikaz2092]

maybe samurai and yumi?

[@Arthur-fz5dw]

Sadly Japan has been nerfed to death for a few years now. I'm the only main Japan player at rank 1000 or below lol

[@H4NGM4NDVD]

12:08 those italians build em well
also just as an fyi papal units are not mercs, ninjas and spies will not counter them. had a guy build like 30 muhbir against lancers and they got shredded. ninjas would have been better saved against bozzers / albanian company. best thing against papal lancers is probs berber camels. in terms what what japan has maybe hatamoto or the ranged cav counter card for ashis.

[@alexsuschevski4237]

U needed yamabushis instead of ninjas :(

[@tomblack2064]

Papal Lancers need a cost increase to justify their stats. They are too strong for what they cost.

[@H3LLGHA5T]

If Italy wasn't so bad, they's be worse than Sipahi since you can send them as often as you want.

[@H3LLGHA5T]

Italy needs to be stopped early on, it's hard to pull of with Japan. In-Yo Rush gives 20 % Yabusame attack on top of adding a 1x multiplier against artillery, there's no reason to send the regular attack upgrade first, sucks that the card only mentions it at the bottom of the tooltip, lol. Also Papal units are not mercs, they're more like consulate units, Ninjas unfortunately don't do much against them, sending the Ronin would have been the better card here, I'd even substitute the Ninja shipment for the Yojimbo (they even do aoe in melee). The game is really not straight forward about counters sometimes, lol. the only thing you could have done against all that cav was go Samurai, Yabusame are not that great against cav, they do shred artillery and do well against skirms due to their high RR, try to mix in two or three Hatamoto Samurai from the consulate, if they connect, they absolutely destroy cav (well pretty much everything else they connect with, too. But all in all great match.

[@Akai05]

What is the mod called that ur using the coloring for food/wood/coin treasures?

[@SoldieRaoe]

Better unit descriptions/treasure descriptions

[@Akai05]

@@SoldieRaoe thx!

[@lolslayer58]

Gg soldier, love your japan games regardless if you win or lose!
Ashis are really not great vs cav and you also had no close combat so it was just super hard vs those beefy af italian cavalry. And yabusames are also laughable at best vs cav for that huge price tag!

[@karmak6913]

I don’t quite understand, do those cavalry have the mercenary label? Otherwise ninjas are ineffective against them. Might as well use it to destroy buildings~🤣

[@karmak6913]

you might as well play the samurai card, it's more effective

[@JorgeGarcia-ur7ez]

You had a knowledge gap. Otherwise I think you would have won.
