  • Strengths: Fair infantry and naval components, good early-game support bonuses for mid- to late-game strategic play.

Although this is a southern Chinese faction, its unit set should consist of the northern barbarians, and be seen as a mix of northern barbarians with southern tribes. So the result is that it has southern-style buildings, but northern barbarian sprites, save for its infantry and its unique sword and axe units.

Shu is highly dependent on infantry. Of cavalry, there are some units, but Shu has no access to Chinese chariots, save the Renegade Warlord. Chinese light cavalry, along with native Horse Raiders, may well be the only choices available to Shu.
