Overview

• Worker units: Peasant and Kuafu
  • Peasants are 20% cheaper than Greek Villagers, but 15% and 20% less efficient at building and gathering resources respectively.
  • Kuafus are very efficient (especially when building, repairing, and gathering wood and gold) and are effective in combat, but more expensive and contribute to the worker and population limits at three times the ratio.
• Resource drop-off site: Silo
• Start with two Peasants, one Kuafu, and a Pioneer.
• Starting resources: 200 food, 200 wood, 100 gold
• Generate favor by extending Favored Land out from the Town Center (or Village Center) by constructing buildings within the influence range. The influence range of each building is:
  • Town Center: 20
  • Village Center: 15
  • Citadel Center: 20
  • House: 6
  • Dock: 20
  • Temple: 12
  • Sentry Tower: 12

  • Machine Workshop: 12
  • Military Camp: 10
  • Imperial Academy: 12
  • Baolei: 25

• Each major god provides:
  • Additional bonuses on their Favored Land.
  • A Blessing which passively grants additional benefits over the course of the game.
  • At least one unique demigod hero with powerful abilities.
• Individual Machine Workshops and Military Camps can be enhanced with a Training Yard or Tower.
  • Training Yard: Double production speed
  • Tower: Function like the Watch Tower line, sharing its build limit
• Each Town Center can summon Terracotta Riders for defense exactly once for a limited amount of time.
• Can unlock trading in the Classical Age with the Silk Road technology.
