OPPONENT
Zhu Xi's LegacyZhu Xi's Legacy
A Chinese variant built around massed Zhuge Nu, a rapid-fire crossbow infantry that reaches critical mass fast when buffed by Imperial Officials and double ranges. Cheap early dynasties fund fast age-ups and early Palace Guard pressure, while Ming Dynasty upgrades push its unique units to overwhelming late-game strength.
Matchup advice7 TIPS

Zhuge Nu shred through light cavalry. On paper, horsemen counter archers, but due to Zhuge Nu's rate of speed, DPS, and mass, you need a lot more horsemen than you think.

Zhu Xi's Zhuge Nu in enough numbers will deal with Delhi's Ghazi raiders.

Delhi would love to get to Castle against mass Zhuge Nu because they have War Elephants and Lancers with Honed Blades.

Ghazi are not terrible against palace guard, but Zhu Xi's Regional Inspection tech can make the fight much harder for Delhi. It buffs so many troops.

I don't think you need Tower of Victory at all, mainly because the bonus attack speed is going to be nice on archers, but as a civilization that already has access to Ghazi Raiders which are already baseline a lot better than Horsemen, I don't think you need that at all, and you're going to be missing out on a lot of resources. You get the Meditation Garden which already gives you a lot of value, so you also want to get a lot of value baseline just by saving 130 resource per minute with a Dome of the Faith.
