Matchup tips
Samurai just in general being very good being able to block the charge damage as well from the Keshik.
You normally against Mongols in particular around like 12 minutes you'd feel like you can be ahead on Yumi because of the discount. Usually Mongol players end up adding in Keshiks to diversify.
Remember the Mongols have the move speed. Their archers are actually quicker than Yumi.
Denying all sides with Shinobi is difficult and might force you to invest in more Shinobi than you'd normally like.
The scout actually does more damage to the Khan than the Khan does to it. If they both stand still, the scout wins the fight.
Even with the Kurultai, Mongols would really struggle against mounted samurai.
Shinobi changed the Japanese vs Mongols matchup quite a bit. Mongols typically have multiple issues with it because Shinobi are great blockers to Keshik and Spearman, and usually you want to place your production around the Ovoo, which makes it susceptible to sabotage.
If you go up to four or five Shinobi, you can kite Keshik and kill them by cycling your Shinobi out as they get hit. Keshik have 145 health and 2 melee armor; Shinobi hit for 23 base damage.
Keshik have a vampiric trait, healing +3 health every time they hit. You need Spearmen for Keshik, but you also need a solid amount of Yumi to make a difference because of that healing.
Once you have two melee attack upgrades and a Bannerman, your Horsemen hit almost as hard as Keshik.
