Manchu vs Iron troop china card

Post by TNT333 »

I honestly think we should replace the Iron troop with Manchus frm that card. I feel ot gives China better anti cav if ur wood supplies run out as manchu cost gold

It's situational, you don't want manchus vs skirm/goon

China vs cav is mostly a non problem. Most of times is the cav player who struggle to actually make cav work vs China because of all trash units units screwing pathing and just enough anticav to dps them down.

China vs heavy cav IS a problem, especially cuirs in big numbers.

Well, not anymore. Cuir mass used to work very well against China, but now with the redcoat shipment and a lot of cav (the chinese cav is actually more cost efficient than the cuirs), China is just fine vs cav mass. Manchus are still great against cav mass though.

I think the OP is talking about the card that lets you train iron troops btw, not the 9 iron troops shipment.
But anyway, iron troops are super OP, especially when trained from the saloon (even better stats than the ones you ship). Having manchus instead of them wouldn't make a difference. The real problem is that shipping a card simply to unlock units in the saloon is most of the time just not viable, because it's too slow.

And imo china doesn't struggle vs cav until mid-late game, when they run out of anti-cav shipments and face strong carded cav like cuirs. Before that point, they do just fine with redcoats, changdaos, their own cav and manchus.

Bear in mind china also scale in such a way that they get more reinforcement than most of those cav civs. So ye maybe upped cuirs kinda shit on changdao but it still depends on how many and where they fight.

My experience with china is that Meteor Hammer - Iron Flail beat basically every other heavy cav in a pinch. You dont have to make changdao lategame since they just die anyway. Heck training the keshik-hand mortar combo is better than qiang.

In a 1v1 situation china shouldnt ever have trouble against heavy cav. Intervention + trained redcoats (or even dopps if your really want them), changdao shipment, a couple of territorial armies, and yes even that manchu shipment against a no/low skirm civ.

Late late game with no wood available etc. The manchu shipment makes 0 difference. Build a monastary and pray for manchu or highlanders or black riders cuz thats your only option unless you just counter cav with fully upgraded china cav (which with all cards are flat out disgusting units in all stats)

And btw, china also have keshiks. In late fortress, especially when gold is running out, China can spam them easily and with vet up+x4 card they're legit.

beiyang army is kinda of an underused but neat china card that I am experimenting with for dealing with more enemy cav than you expected in fortress. 8 steppes 8 keshiks and vet upgrades for both, for a food cost. I think it works because of the more units principle, since usually strong heavy cav like cuirs are going to be fewer in number
