The Mitsuri is also a market ... if you lock down the gold but they put the Mitsuri on the wood line, they just sell the wood and age up anyways.

Not having a single trader in yet on that Mitsuri means that right now his economy is 10% weaker. ... And the biggest advantage when the Mitsuri is on the wood line is the bonus to wood gathering from traders. If you can't get the yatai alive and get the traders back home, that's a huge part of that eco that's not there.

The Yari jumped on so fast to those crossbows. That is really the unit you want to be getting rid of. ... Great use of the Yari and their extra movement speed.

Fast castle for something like Sengoku of Japan, it's timeless by now, but I feel like Macedonian is one of those civs that's so good at punishing this. I mean, with the coach damage from the scout, especially with the scout puncture damage, I feel like one tower doesn't really do a thing. So, if you have like seven, eight horsemen plus your scout, I think the tower goes down really really fast, actually.
