OPPONENT
RusRus wins through early cavalry aggression fueled by a hunting-based economy that generates gold from wildlife and accelerates with each kill, enabling constant Wooden Fortress expansion and early Knight access while Warrior Monks scale their cavalry for mid-game dominance.
Matchup advice2 TIPS
Palace guard not going to be able to do too well here up against the archers. They do of course lack that additional pierce armor compared to normal men at arms.
I personally struggle a lot with this matchup as Zhu Xi's Legacy versus Rus where I'm like, okay, I can't just play fast castle as well. Like my knights are just not going to really achieve enough against the Horse Archers from the Rus.
