Chinese (Age of Empires II)

For other uses of Chinese, see the disambiguation page.

The Chinese civilization is one of the East Asian civilizations in Age of Empires II, along with the Japanese, Mongols, and in The Conquerors Expansion, the Koreans. Their bonuses are economic, Chinese teams on Random Maps start with six villagers, instead of the usual three, which enables quicker Resource collection. They also have cheaper technologies- every technology's cost is decreased by 10% in the Feudal Age, 15% in the Castle Age and 20% in the Imperial Age. Chinese Demolition Ships also have 50% extra hitpoints. The Chinese unique unit is the Chu Ko Nu, which is a Crossbowman that fires three arrows in succession, but at a shorter range in comparison to normal Archers.
