—In-game description

Sitting Tiger is a technology in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - The Three Kingdoms that is unique to the Wu and can be researched at the Castle in the Imperial Age. Once researched, it causes Traction Trebuchets and the anti-building attacks of Lou Chuans to fire two additional projectiles. The additional projectiles deal 10 melee damage and +40 damage against buildings.

Researching Sitting Tiger makes all projectiles of Lou Chuans and Traction Trebuchets fire together. This also affects the regular anti-unit projectiles of Lou Chuans.

Trivia[]

This technology references the Hu dun pao, often translated as "Crouching Tiger".
