China: Exploring more options without it being a general buff

If you say that imperial iron troops cant deal with skirm goon, then I am sorry to say that there is nothing else in the game that can deal with them, they are already the top of the scale, again look at their stats.

I think you are misrepresenting my words.

@BjornViking20

They only had durability to their favor, which is countered by artillery and that is okay, you don’t need a unit without weaknesses.

• Roundhouse kick should be a charged attack - the current ver makes targeting a pain - the secondary effect is the thing that makes it strong - effectively doubling the monks attack

That’s a nice idea! I think that their aoe is not working as intended so they also should fix that.

@coffeeco01

• flame thrower just remove the infantry tag and they will be OP

That would be too much indeed. Just more range or speed is okay. At least as much as a regular musk and maybe you can improve it further with the Fire Dragon Manual in Age IV.

• German consulate no, we area already having problems with the russian one you dont want it to be instantly accessible

The impact they provide is not equivalent, the trickle is like 2 unupgraded villagers on food. Moreover, the original spirit of the card was to make those initial techs viable openings for China. They nerfed the trickle amount and now you cannot get it, I think this was an oversight because you cannot open with it right now. Here is developer @InterjectionAOE talking about it.

I would like to add: The 100 Export delivered is what makes it possible to perform new ‘build orders’. Without it, for example, it would not be possible to ‘open’ with a Blockhouse or to get the German Food Trickle.

Hopefully the card will create new ways to play China early on
