  • Strengths: Some modern cavalry units are available
  • Weaknesses: Mediocre Iron Age game, poor navy.

The best way to describe Yan is that she is "jack at all trades but master of none". For while Yan has some limited cavalry ability, she can't raise the Heavy Chinese Lancers — you will have to rely on Hoaha-Chianki for the rest of the game. Similarly, while a Yan player has access to Iron Swordsmen and Heavy Spearmen, again some units are lacking - such as Heavy Ji Infantry and Guardsmen, meaning that a Yan playstyle is not as flexible as that enjoyed by Qin or Chu.

Mercenary-wise, Yan also lacks veritable stopping power, owing to her limited number of mercenaries.
