The HRE opponent reached Castle at 6:30

They've taken map control with knights and claimed four of the relics

We've walled off our base and built spears to defend

But are stuck in feudal and need to start a farm transition

It's alright, we're booming on 2TC Song, and can start castle in a minute

My emperor, our scout

Our scout reports that HRE has already started building Swabia

They'll be in Imperial soon

Anyone who doesn't main China, please leave the room

How the fuck is this possible? What incompetents designed this game?

How the hell can HRE start Imperial before China starts Castle

I don't know why I play this weak-ass civ

Why do I have to age up twice to get my civ bonuses

I have to spend 600 additional resources for Song while French just builds faster villagers by default!

My emperor, China's had high winrates in the tournaments since the last patch

All because of Four Lakes which isn't in the Ranked map pool you imbecile

My Emperor, most of the pros think China was buffed in the last patch

And yet it still has the third lowest winrate and pickrate in >=Diamond

The changes aren't enough!

I have to invest in a second TC and Song Dynasty, and micromanage Imperial Officials, WHICH ARE STILL BUGGY AS HELL TO USE

All while HRE, English, and Mongols get massive economic boosts just by going directly to Castle

And French, Delhi, and Rus just overpower you in Feudal while you spend 450 food per min just making villagers!

At least Abbasid only has to spend half the food

I should have quit being a China main and switched to Delhi, like Leenock!

I've been playing China since the game released

I continued to play China every time we got nerfed

Even when they nerfed the Clocktower and Imperial Official Supervision

BUT THEN THEY QUADRUPLE NERFED BOMBARDS AND GRENADIERS AND MADE OUR LATEGAME WEAKER THAN ENGLISH

All because team game players can't learn how to pressure China before lategame

The stats didn't even show a high Chinese winrate in team games

And yet these noobs continued to whine that they couldn't stop Chinese double Imperial!

And they still continue to whine!

It's alright, they changed the team game win conditions, Fire Lancers can't landmark snipe you anymore

All China needs is cheaper Dynasty landmarks

But the devs are never going to do that

It's over

Song Dynasty will probably be nerfed next

But if you think I will ever disgrace myself by learning another civ, you are mistaken

I will go to my grave with these words: Zhum Bee Tsu Sah
