Zhongshan

Overall Strategy[edit | edit source]

Zhongshan does not create Greataxe Infantry, but instead creates Thih'thui-P'openg — Zhongshan Iron Mace Infantry, which are cheaper and faster on foot, thus making them more menacing especially if used against the heavy formations of major factions, such as Qin, Han or Qi.

Unit summary[edit | edit source]

  • Thih'thui-P'openg — Zhongshan's Iron Mace Infantry, which replaces Greataxe Infantry, is cheaper and faster than the latter.

Notes[edit | edit source]

They are accessible by a vast slew of factions - except, of course, most southern factions - this includes Chu and Yue. Xianyun also can't recruit them as the Xirong too.
