Disclaimer: I, in no way, claim to be a player capable of Emperor+ games. This article is meant mostly to the players playing Monarch and below.
Spoiler for Authors note - Bushido and Samurai:
"Bushido" is japanese and means "The Way of the Warrior". It was a codex that all samurai followed in order to have their honor intact.
"Samurai" is the name of the medieval Japanese warrior caste, and is deprived from the japanese verb, "to serve".
The impression most of us have of Tokugawa of Japanese is, to be honest, a ridiculous AI leading a rather mediocre nation. The reason to this is that the Japanese civilization has absolutely no economic traits or uniques (unless counting the rather late-game Shale Plant, which is underpowered, imo).
