You always feel like you are playing defense because you don’t have spare population to flank or push mortars. France can also support its eco, but Fur Trade enables France players to do a lot of crazy things with their military composition before they even have to worry about draining. The Dutch’s eco in treaty is god awful, and you can’t use the 150 pop sustainably. The difference between Japan and Dutch having extra military pop space, is that Japan has actually an eco that can support it in treaty. European civs have to balance their army due to the situation, but 125 pop can do a lot more. They can throw you mass ashigaru as their base unit, have flaming arrows in the back, flank with tons of nagi on the side, and still have some Japanese mortars in the back doing work. If someone knows how to play the civ well, then 125 military pop is a such a headache to handle. I wouldn’t say they’re OP, but they are definitely a higher tier than the rest of the civilizations in treaty mode (with exception of maybe France). If Japan is properly played in treaty, they are really, really hard to handle.
