Chu/Strategic Overview

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History
*Strengths: Vast, highly diversified army
*Weaknesses: No economic bonuses, units can't be upgraded.
Being by far the largest state in all of China, the kingdom of Chu was also known to be highly expansionist, using her superior metalworking technology and her vast population to support wars of conquest, yet failed to perform the reforms required to keep the state competent against her many foes, eventually succumbing to Qin in the 3rd century BCE.
In Bronze Dawn, you might well avoid such a fate, by leveraging on Chu's most powerful asset: her army. Chu is best used for early game rushing, when your cheaper Military research and cost for hiring Workers is slashed by a third. Use Chu early on, to attack and seize settlements from your foes, using every unit that is available to you to counter whatever units they throw at you. If the foe brings out melee infantry, send in War Chariots. If War Chariots appear, then bring in crossbow infantry to deal with them.
