In this guide I will cover all the aspects of China for RUSH games.
Units
Shipments
A Few Strategies
China has many unique traits
China’s units are very unique such as the Cku-ko-nu’s 3 arrows and Steppe Riders, which are like mini Oprichniks.
This guy will be your main unit in age 2. He comes with 2 shipments; 8 Cku-ko-nu and Mandarin Duck Squad (8 Cku-ko-nu + a Flamethrower
Like all LI* he has a bonus v LC and HI and a negative v HC and LI
He has 4 improvement shipments, Standard Army Hitpoints (10% Hitpoints for Cku-ko-nu + Steppe Riders
Last but not least he is unique in the way that he fires 3 5 damage arrows each shot
He will be your primary anti-cav in age 2 and he comes with 2 armies; Ming (3 Qiang Pikemen and 2 Keskiks) and Old Han army (3 Qiang Pikemen and 3 Cku-ko-nu).
He has a shipment of 9 of him in age 2 and 3 improvement shipments in age 4, Western Reforms (8% attack and hitpoints for all units), Old Han Reforms (Cku-ko-nu and Qiang Pikeman attack + 100% and hp + 50% for + 50 % cost
He will be your hand cavalry in age 2 and your raider all game.
He has 3 shipments in age 2 and 1 improvement shipment in age 4.
In age 2 he has a shipment of 7 Steppe Riders, a shipments that gives him a bonus versus villagers and higher siege (Mongolian Scourge) and 10% hitpoints (Standard Army Hitpoints)
He comes with just 1 army, the Standard army (2 Steppes and 3 cku-ko-nu)
In age 3 you get access to the Iron Flail and Meteor Hammer so he will be use as a mini Oprichnik then.
He is a pretty good unit, but use him like you would you an Oprichnik once you reach age 3.
