Can you boom with China?

Well, can you? I know if you build both landmarks the more you get but I was wondering if it was possible to boom with them and still defend yourself from a fed rush?

Yes, absolutely, chinese have some of the fastest, strongest, and safest boom.

Chinese and booming comes in a pair in this game. You can aggro if you need, but in the end what you wanna do as chinese is boom. Boom to castle and use your power spike. You just slow down your boom when you notice (through proper scouting) that you need to react to enemy aggression.

As long as the second tc uis up, counter aggro is fine, if you constantly producing villager and units will get you 200/200 in no time

When do you have the second TC up? What time should it be up?[quote=“hisovereign, post:4, topic:232025, full:true”]

It depends on the situation, but song at 5.10 and 2nd tc at 6ish is optimal, if you don’t lose villager, always supervise your wood and food and have great engangement with your army (constantly producing zhuge/spear/horsemen) , you can get 200/200 in less than 20 minutes

Im so gonna work on this now. I just got to find a build order

Chinese typically go 1 TC Song Dynasty if they expect Feudal aggression or 2 TC Song Dynasty if aggression is less likely. The 2 TC song dynasty is among the strongest booms in the game.

We can still build 2nd TC even after early defense, just a bit late, like 7 or 8 minutes mark, partly because song kick in in 5 minutes, and second because of resource supervision give more resource per minute than regular civ.
