Tips & Suggestions

You made cavalry without Bloodlines. This is essential - cavalry die too fast without the +20 HP.

You made 73 Skirmishers but your opponent only made 0 archers. Skirms are only cost-effective against archers - consider other units.

Japanese has strong infantry. Archers are very effective against infantry-focused civs.

You reached Imperial but never used your unique unit (Cataphract). Cataphracts trample infantry and ignore anti-cavalry bonus damage.

You didn't research Horse Collar. Your farms produce less food without it.

You made melee units without Forging (+1 attack). Blacksmith upgrades matter.

You reached Imperial but never used your unique unit (Throwing Axeman). Throwing Axemen are ranged infantry. Good vs infantry and buildings.
