Talk:Chinese (Age of Empires III)/Strategy/@comment-187.186.195.116-20151216094457

It might be really picky of me but, this is really old and shows the worst strategy possible to play china, even tough they have acces to really big shipments in age2. those units are really bad overall, that is why china is one of the worst civs to rush with. Literally musk-huss of any civ like france or brit can deal with any chinese army in age 2, the same with xbow-pike compositions. The best way to play china has been proven to be fast fortress trying to reach fortress at the 7 minutes mark, this is were china is the best fast fortress civ (besides otto because they are unffair). Here they have acces to intervention muskets (a shipment of 9 semiredcoats in age 3 when allied with brits), 11 swordsman, 10 arcs, 5 meteor hammers, forbiden army ,territorial army, that monk. Havin acces to technically free armies of almos 30-40 units with range infantry heavy infantry, 2 types of cav and really strong musks. a nightmare to micro against.plust that tower that gives you that amazig wood trickle. Then industrial is were they totally unfair by sending old han reforms making chokunu and qing pike man the best cost effective units in the game.
