Tips
- Place every economy building right next to each other: the Imperial Officials collect taxes better that way (the author’s instruction).
- Collect taxes when there is enough food to produce villagers, then to pay for the Blacksmith upgrades.
- Designed by the author to help his teammates in team games, with Zhuge Nu pressure from Age II.
- Variant: Krayt (“Zhu XI Feudal Agro”) reaches 4:10 with just 2 Archery Ranges and a Barracks or a Stable depending on the opponent, adds a third Imperial Official and Steeled Arrow, and takes Siege Engineering if the game can be finished.
- Variant: JampiX clicks the Jiangnan Tower as early as 2:10 by dropping the Official’s gold, keeps 4 villagers on food and reaches Age II around 3:50 with an Archery Range and a Barracks or a Stable, Wheelbarrow and a second Official.
