China vs India

If you're starting China: East and fighting against India, what's the best move to make? I got beat by India that didn't even send everything they had at me. They also expanded to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia while killing me. My main struggle is that India gets a lot of cities and each Chinese country gets about 4.

U need to get japan korea and full china if u can get those u become one of the most op countries. All of these countries get huge amounts of reinforcements and income. India gets alot of cities but most Chinese cities get 8 reinforcements while only a few indian cities get 8. Also Japan whole gives a huge income that matches up aginasts india's income after it recovers from losing population. Also if ur in a 50k world or anything above 15k use Sky Meance allows for fast expansion with powerfull units u will need to take asian caps and cites cause most have 8 millita or 8 inf in them.

It's easy to beat India just take much countries and attack his unprotected city's because you will get 8+ militia and his income will be small.

Yea what i used to do back in my 50k days, just secure full china/japan for income, fend off the initial waves of units built from the starting funds, then inida becomes poor and you can just crush him

India won't be a big threat until 2-3 turns in. 25k - no worries, 50k, just make sure you expand best possible way. Also, pick china north or japan. China east, eh, grab korea, and northeast i suppose
