Is Japan overpowered? Defensive blessings are pointless, leather is useless

[Midnite_Insomnia]

I personally believe Japan is overpowered as a nation. The samurai is one of the best troops to raid with in the game, in defense Japanese town center is essentially a turret with super high hit point, it also gets longer peace treaties which is EXTREMELY useful at high levels.

Japan has arguably the best unique unit and the best national traits in the game. Majority the highest ranked players in the game are Japan players, this isn't a coincidence.


I would like to see a statistics on how many people actually waste their trade goods on making defensive blessings, because they are virtually useless. You build fortification and tower blessings and they are simply wasted when a player comes into your base just to surrender to lower their medal counts. Defensive blessings should remain until your base take a certain amount of damage.


Leather has now become useless with the new update. There are simply no worthy blessings or mercs to spend leather on.

about japan, no.
the germans have the same unit, but they get a nice bonus which allows them to run further with them so they dont get chewed up by catapults/mortars

japanese TC is meh. its range is so short that it barely does anything
the first few ages it is quite useful, but even then you are getting raided by higher aged players, so it doesnt matter (it wont do anything against cavalry)

peace treaty is cool, but that more often than not means you lost, which means your TC didnt do its job

most high ranked players are not japanese
the french / greek unique is king as you can use it often end-game, along with elephants and cannons
but their other bonus is crappy, so they are not OP

samurai spam is cool mid-game. wont say they are useless end-game, but you basically only throw a few down after your main attack to quickly mop up some buildings

Agree with hearthpad. Japan is not op in any way. Unit bonus are all pretty even. Peace treaty bonus is the most useless as if your serious about this game you need to constantly meaning peace treaties are pointless.

And the Tc makes zero difference past med age

Japanese nation is a farming nation.

I'm at Medieval Age now and I can hardly 5 star in any raids with Samurais. They are too easy to get killed. As for the TC, I always seem to get wiped out by players most of the time so I think shooting short distance arrows aren't going to stop anything. It just take few fellas with it before it goes down. Longer peace treaty is good... for farming.

Agreed, and I use Japanese. The TC short range is useless since most people use calvary and archers. The British longbowmen outrange the Japanese TC all the time.

i agree to many bonus for japanese , the city kill my troops very easy ..it's like a balista full power with rapid fire

every nations have their own benefit. good side and bad side!
But in my oppinion Japan is really good too. Im playing Greek now and i feel satisfied about it, but sometimes i want to change to Japan too

Dude, quit bombing every thread for irrelevant information! If people knew what you were asking and wanted to provide it they would've found your thread long ago and replied already. If everyone did what you are doing the forums would be useless and a mess. Do yourself and everyone a favor
