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.

And now the meditation garden is getting completely blocked out. It barely generates resources now. Barely. So many units under that.

He can offset his gold disadvantage somewhat with those Burgrave spears, which will always be useful against Zhu Xi's Legacy.

Gilded Spearman can maybe if there's two of them take down a monk, but these monks are very capable on their own and they're going to take these relics super quickly.

It's not the end of the world if you don't end up getting a bunch of relics because you mostly go for your Burgrave — it produces units cheaper and gives the same value as a Regnitz Cathedral with a handful of relics.

OOTD's Gilded Crossbowmen have additional range, outranging both Zhu Xi's crossbows and his Zhuge Nu.
