I'll try my hand on a story about my game as the Japanese. I wanted it to be a bit crowded for this game so I chose nine civs in a normal map with continents. I won't cover the early game to much but to sum it up I made sure I founded Hinduism and tried to grab a fair bit of land so I could compete. I am a novice player as most of us are, the difficulty is Noble.
Here is a picture of the current situation, to the northwest we have Spain, southwest the Americans, south the Russians and to the east my friends the Germans. As you can see it's very tight and there has not been much room to expand, but that's the way I wanted it. When there is no room you will have to make some.
After I have finished the city improvements I plan to build an invasion force, but I am not sure on where to use it. The only thing I know is that if I want to become a major player I must get a hold of more land. Fortunately I have an iron resource so I can build some of the more powerful units. There is a strategic problem though, right now my most likely target is Spain and my iron is right next to the their border. If they manage to pillage my mine my whole military production will halt.
My other alternatives are America or Russia in the south, but I fear that such a campaign could become more troublesome since it will leave me more open to a couple of civs ganging up on me and they already dislike me down there. In the east there's the Germans who have adopted Hinduism that I founded and are generally pleased with me. I count on them shielding me from the warmongering Aztecs to the east and possibly aiding me in war. In technology it is quite a tight race, all the civs are trading with eachother.
