This Japanese Opening Is Hilarious 

Going 2nd TC??? How revolutionary!!! Why didn't anyone think of that ever?!?!

Did Demu go 5 on stone in dark age?

He did, there's literally a video on YT of it

Demu is the shit! A real rising star!

@@illxet do you even read the comment or you just like commenting random stuff?

It’s that ausie charm

You fall short of 20g gold since you only mine 650 stone (= 130gold). You could however mine 20g with 2 of the 5 stone vills (3 build forge at stone/2mine 20g). You would however need another 25w to construct an additional house. Considering the prolonged age-up timing (you need to mine an additional 30g through stone), you could allocate 2/3 workers on straggler tree earlier to get the 25w in earlier. Considering the time between 2nd TC and finishing age up (about 30seconds) it could work that your 2nd TC isnt delayed. I haven't tested it, it would definitely require a lot of optimization and juggling of villagers. In that sense the presented BO seems much easier.

He was never pronouncing it incorrectly. Words can have different pronunciations based on the region. As an example consider the word "garage". Brits pronounce it differently than Americans, and that's okay.

Also, realistically, 25% improved farms takes quite a while once you are feudal anyway. If he used that wood for the TC for farms, including the 1 free farm from the storehouse, he'd have 6 (and a half) farms. In my opinion, rushing food this much as the Japanese doesn't make much sense. I have played about 20 games as the Japanese now, and I am never low on food with any build order. Normally I go early Daimo so I can use the 'knight' for early aggression as its very strong, but tbh, as a more defensive/greedy build, this 2nd TC comes almost as fast as my knight, so that, in my opinion, is stronger.

It should be similar to the desert raider mellee/ranged stance swap. At least it is in PC so I would think they would be consistent there too

You can't do anything, except buy the DLC. It's pay to win.

​@@WillieFungolmao Japanese is hardly one of the better civs at the moment at the pro level

heavy on the men at arms and a few crossbows, mangonel definitly helps but vortex's micro was just better

what micro are we speaking??? he just hit and when the mangol was rdy to fire he went back. That is not a huge display of micro@@draculmorzan

@@Snapshot.Geo07 i didnt say is was huge. it was just better than his opponent.

Other people are saying that Demu used this Japanese opening against vortex who was playing New China variant going fast castle

What would you do with all the stone, though?

Only thing I disagree with is the Shinobi advantage against spears. I think the Shinobis almost lose to a single spear

@@spectrallogic You need the manor for the uma bannerman.

@@john66687 Shinobi do 25 damage to the spear with 80 health, and attack faster. Spearmen do 7 damage to the shinobi with 80 health. At the time where the shinobi gets its fourth attack out, the spear should be on its third. If your shinobi are losing to single spearmen I don't know what to tell you, it should be ending with nearly 75% HP.

@@WalrusJones185 that sounds right, I just saw beasty lose his Shinobis to Demus spears, must have been his production speed or something cause beasty lost the game on it. He thought he could take the spears and keep harassing the docks but was forced to retreat

What are you rated?

How did you win?

Which build/ army are you going for?

I just go fast imp (sub 18) and get the upgraded tc as soon as possible and spam mounted samurai with the unique hand cannon guys they get from their landmark. Their blacksmith tech is insane.

@@ManroeMS the current fast imp builds are all sub 15 mins tho.

​@@ManroeMSNo offense, but if the enemy is letting you go naked imperial for 18mins and they lose, they are an idiot, Japanese don't need a nerf.
