Far East Empire
My advise: Forget troops and luck!
Put away your horse and armor (!!)
Because Guillotine Blade (Katana moves) will kill you!
Without troops,horse and armor you will win.
Feudalism II
At the end: get rid of your horse !
(as suggested)
Tip for the East Empire:
get rid of your armor too!!
And you might need Katana moves: the Kick.
