Sould China remain a late game civ? (Poll)

[gie8888]

China has always been a late game civ in aoe2, 3 and 4. This is a very boring setting, which is equivalent to a stereotype. Anyone who understands Chinese history knows that China is a war machine. It may have been peaceful for less than a few hundred years in its 5000 year history. China has always been aggressive.

In general, a civ being mediocre the whole game and trying to survive until 45 minutes or more where they become unstoppable is not good game design. While somebody has to be the strongest late game civ, and it is fine if it is the Chinese, their only viable strategy shouldn’t be survive until late game and steam roll the opponent. Late game being something of a strength for a civ is fine but right now the difference between their early game and late game strength is too extreme

And in the future we will have a civ that is half alive half dead by 45 mins, then tech into gg after that.
