Japan OP

[MaebeKnot]

It probably is at least a little bit of my play style but I feel like for being a "hard" sponsor, Japan is pretty dang OP. I would like to know what others think. Is Japan OP? Is there some other sponsor for hard or other that seems to be a lot better then others in their classification?

What was your map difficulty? Try playing Japan on a 1000% map.

I'm playing them now on a ~650% I started this morning. I normally don't play that high of a percentage. This will also be my second play with them. Really I'm wondering this from a stand point of X% and same map for all.

You have been pretty lucky then.
Japan gets a few buffs, but has counter nerfs. There isnt anything that makes Japan really OP.
Except maybe the boost in worker performance from the start and not needing workers in the metals extractors.

Try this next time. forget the difficulty level, start on a frozen are with heavy meteor strikes and Japan and see what happens.

I don't tend to find meteor strikes much of an issue (part of how I'm at ~650%). I do tend to avoid cold waves. Why do they impact Japan so bad?

Those don’t necessarily affect Japan more than any other. But for a real challenge go for a map with as many disasters at max as possible. That should really change your strategy.

Who do you think is the best sponsor in each group of easy, normal, hard?
