MaliansMalians
Malians leverage indefinite gold generation from Pit Mines into waves of fast, stealth-capable ambush units with high damage but low armor, banking their advantage on economic momentum and rapid tactical strikes that capitalize on speed and agility rather than durability.

Flower Pagoda. Honestly, I think the other landmark is a bait. It baits you into actually making units, which you don't want to be making. Against Malians especially, what are you going to do in Feudal Age with Jin? With the Flower Pagoda and a second TC, you can start scaling to the point where Jin genuinely becomes a powerhouse in the later stages of the game.

This is part of the big danger playing 2TC as Jin against Malians like this. Yes, theoretically speaking, you do begin outscaling them, but getting to the point where it actually pays off and you exceed the Grand Fulani Corral is easier said than done, especially on such an open map like Gorge.
