I have much enough experience playing for China to propose (not to argue with your build order its pretty good for playing infantry stacks) a little bit another approach to play. Especially for team matches. Build based on mongolian scourge card. You dont chop wood for trade post and hence dont build it. You use your disciple and strong explorer to gain as much treasures and exp from killing treasure guards as you can. That way you always have 2 shipments before age 2 to sent 700w and 7 steppe raiders cards. Other 140w from start you use to start castle building in age 1 to neutralize comparetively slow age up and make an army of 2 raiders and 2 keshiks as soon as you can. Next move is to pick mongolian scourge card (extra siege and villagers damage for raiders and +1 multiplier for keshiks against hand cav) and assess your arrivement to enemys base accurately so this card ships when you start raiding villagers or sieging building. It must be noticed that steppe raider has siege unit tag so he gets 0.5 multiplier from attacks of defensive building (excluding TC). In this meta people like to make ff or play a little bit greedy from start, so mongolian scourge may be a huge or even letal obstacle for them.

I got so annoyed by constantly having to hotkey the explorers. I allowed conflicting hotkeys and set the Find Explorer hotkey (in General, not Find Unit) and the Find All Idle Military hotkey to the same key binding. That way I can select them to make sure they are not idle when I don't want them to be (i.e. when I don't what them to be healing) and go to them to see how I should use 🧰 them. Eventually I can put them in control groups too. I actually kind of like them together for the late game as well.

I vs my friend whose better than me and he always raids early with cav, what would be the best counter to shut this down? Also at what point do i start to gather wood?

Haven't played China in a while. Back then the best opening was with Russia then switch to Germany for the trickle. Is it still any viable?

That is another viable option, but I’m demonstrating the most common meta build right now

@@Widgie nice, good to know. Wish I had more free time rn to play again. Your videos keep me interested in the game, thank you!

I find market and village opening better

I’m afraid it’s not the best competitive opening currently
