Japanese Strategies

[Gothic_Empire]

So my favorite thing right now with Japan is cheesing their bonuses with scouts. A lucky pathfinder can currently get three levels from an ancient ruin if they find a map (which gives them something like 60 exp instantly), but even with ruins off, these guys can rack up experience fast and give you a neat culture / science advantage. And with Survivalist promotions and authority, they are even serviceable as an early barbarian hunting force.

What other strategies do you use with Japan, though?

I guess you could DOW all the CS and put a permanently fortified medic unit by each one. But that's almost like cheating.

Feel counterproductive : it cost you production, gold for maintenance, no CS rewards, just for a little culture and science. I've not done the math, but I think it is more efficient to be a standard warmonger.

With dojo and the Benevolence promotion: Units in adjacent tiles receive +5 HP when healing, you can create a medic unit, which heal +15 HP to all adjancent unit. It's like home...
