| The Shang have only 2 different bonuses but both are very useful. Their villiagers cost 30% less than normal villiagers therefore saving you 15 units of food for every villiager. This can result in a faster bronzing time since you save some food which can go towards your upgrades for tool age and bronze age. Their double wall hit points bonus is very good for protecting your base so use it to your advantage. If you are looking for an early bronze rush, you should go for both chariots and cavalry. Since the Shang villiagers cost less, make a few extra in stone age to mine for gold which should get you ready for those cavalry. The thing to do is to start your rush with some cavs and then when you finish your wheel upgrade, make some chariots. If you are going for a late bronze/early iron rush you should make a lot of composite bowmen. A lot of people think that bowmen suck since their HP is low and their attack is only 5. Well that's what I used to think too, but after using them in groups they turn out to be very effective. A group of them could take out a tower easily. So make sure you use them to your advantage. If you want to just flat out destroy your enemy in mid iron, make a lot of Heavy cavs back them up with composite bowmen and have catapults around the perimeter. You might also want a few helepolis in the battle as well. But make sure that you take out any enemy cats because they can easily kill 20 of your composite bowmen with one blow. |
