Ming Army

The Ming army is a chinese banner army consisting of Qiang Pikeman, and Keshiks. Unlike most banner armies, the Ming army is specifically designed to counter one unit type instead of 2. Both Keshik and Qiang pikemen are designed to counter heavy cavalry such as Hussars, and when combined with the Standard army, it offers the classic "triple pronged" counter, being able to counter light infantry, heavy infantry, and heavy cavalry. The ming army is available from age 2, and can be trained out ofwar acadamies.
