CIVILISATION MATCHUPS
YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
Knights TemplarKnights Templar multiply passive pilgrimage gold with each fortress while stacking wood-gathering bonuses to fund heavy cavalry and diverse allied units, establishing fortress-anchored territorial control and scaling into cavalry dominance rather than relying on early aggression.
Matchup advice2 TIPS
Zhuge Nu is a very weird one up against Chevalier Confrere. In some ways they're decent, in some ways they're really bad. It comes down to your blacksmith timing because they're plastic knights for a reason: the French knight variant doesn't have as much armor as your standard knight in feudal.
Even the Zhuge Nu upgrade is actually pretty desirable here. We mentioned the Chevalier have less armor, so they get disintegrated by veteran Zhuge Nu, and you could rush that with supervision.
