==Chinese== With the Japanese and Mongols, the Chinese are one of the civilizations belonging to the East Asian culture. Their major advantage is the cost of development and technology. They start off the games with 6 villagers instead of 3 villagers. It is a more important attribute than it may sound, because it greatly enhances your speed to collect resources, create buildings, and to advance to the Feudal Age. They also incur cheaper cost in researching any technologies. In Feudal Age the cost of research is cheaper by 10%, 15% in Castle Age, and 20% in Imperial Age. Their unique unit is the Chu-ko-Nu, a very powerful archery unit has a very strong attack, for they fire 3 arrows at a time, but shorter range. When playing Chinese; remember that they're best when emulating other civilization especially in the Conquerors expansion. For example if they were facing Byzantines they could act as Turks by adding more trebuchets against the defense line of Byzantines while guarding the trebuchets with heavy scorpions, arbalests, monks and some light cavalry/heavy camels or both, or if they were facing Britons they could emulate the Mongolian or Hun attacks; while against Persian; they simply employ Heavy Scorpions, Arbalests and heavy camels+light cavalry to handle the enemy. Or if they were facing Saracens they could emulate Britons by putting Arbalests, Chu Ko Nu and Monks on same line to slew heavy camels, elite mamelukes and other Saracens' range units.
