How to beat
Zhu Xi's Legacyas Holy Roman Empire
Matchup tips
It's just in this matchup typically like early on into the game, that's when HRE has the just way superior economy with the early inspiration, but as the game goes on, Zhu Xi's Legacy tends to pull ahead a little bit with the Imperial officials.
The Aachen Chapel is very strong early on, but once they have 20-30 villagers on the woodline and have chopped through far enough, there's no more inspired economy. As the game continues, Zhu Xi's Imperial Officials can match the Prelate economy.
Typically HRE men-at-arms are better than Palace Guards. Not in Feudal Age. In Feudal Age, Palace Guards absolutely mop the floor even with HRE men-at-arms.
Normally HRE punishes overextending units due to their slow movement speed, but now that is reversed because of the Palace Guards' speed.
Zhuge Nu is your premium unit as Zhu Xi's Legacy. Archers simply cannot cope with the damage output, even with additional movement speed or range.
Playing knight on knight with that Steel Barding +2 armor against the Imperial Guard from Zhu Xi is risky. 20% attack speed is no joke on those Dali Horses upgrade even with the two additional armor.
There's value in going for a barracks as HRE on this map. You're going to be dealing with a lot of lancers from Zhu Xi's Legacy. Getting those spears out early just to harass the scouts, annoy them a bit. Zhu Xi can also get scouts out much, much faster than HRE can, so they'll have an advantage in pro scouts. The spears will help offset that.
It'll be a bit harder for these Zhuge Nu to focus the crossbows. They don't have the range that other archers would have, so they can't access that back line as easily.
