[ENG] Civilizations #09: Shu

from Start the game already! · host Christian Toth

Welcome back to another civilizations Podcast – today abouit the Shu. The Shu are relatively new in the Game being on of the Three Kingdom Civilizations and they come with a rich history of ancient china as well as novel ideas in Age of Empires II. For starters, they have a hero unit that's even playable in multiplayer and two other unique unit as well as regional units. They are predominantly an archer civilization with strong siege options and they can become a dps powerhouse if the unique techs come into play. At the same time, they are somewhat predictable as they don't have too much else to offer. I hope you'll enjoy this episode!ChrisTalk to the community on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Timecodes:00:00 Introduction08:30 Eco bonus15:46 Military bonuses25:20 War Chariot, White Feather Guard, Liu Bei, Lou Chuan41:35 Unique Technologies50:21 Strategies & army compositions01:03:10 CampaignMusic: Shu Intro Music and "Operation Monkey" of the official AoE II Soundtrack
