Under good Competitor Remember following Points
1> Japan would gain easy Resources easily through Shrines with the more Time spend in Game.
2> Japanese Shrines near by your Town would reflect movement of Villages, that will push Opponent to chase Villagers with Cavalry units.
So , best Strategy lies in Rush against Japan Civilisation
For Rush Important Cards selection....
1> In Discovery Age choose Wood Trickle rate , as Indian Villagers develops with Wood.
2> In Colonial Age you must have Cards of - 5 Sepoys, 5 Rajput, 4 Sowars and Chakram Mercenaries that could be buyed by Spending 500 Gold.
Rush Strategy:

2> In colonial Age you have max 6 Villagers on Wood source , In remaining you should have 3X Villages on Food and 1X on Gold source.
3> Keep on Making Sepoy units from Fort
4> Build Export Building near your town , use British Ally that inceases 10% Hitpoint of Land Units
