Chinese armies are known for one thing and that is the ability to levy en masse scores of warriors to fight in the name of the Son of Heaven. This consists of simple conscript warriors who are not as professional as their European counterparts, but in later ages they are accompanied by a variety of powerful and innovative crossbow and gunpowder units. On the seas, the Chinese navy, built for oceanic voyages, are massive monstrosities made almost of timber, sporting many more guns than most European war vessels, and with a special hidden ability. The Chinese too have a special unit — the Imperial Legate, a stealthy agent, capable of assassinations and sabotage.
