But Manchurias army had better military tech and wiped the floor with me. I defeated their navy early on but I did micro with an army in Manchuria while they sieged down my parts of Korea and landed 50k in Japan. Than they got over to Shikuku, i blockaded it got 80% war score and Manchuria never recovered. This island saved my ass four times.
