I thought they kept the card in but gave the Old Han a slight decrease in HP and ATK from before, along with making them a bit cheaper too in and changed the name of it?

I never realised China depended so much on it though. I know they suffer a bit from cavalry but usually you can get British redcoats from the Embassy and I know with some cards you can train really good Iron Flails and Meteor Hammers.

fyi it didnt give imp units
china has to play one age ahead to contest most civs wasn't changed so old han shouldn't have changed
also late game french still op but lets nerf china
btw china was already one of the hardest civs to play

It made it so you could use chu and Qi pik late game but now it's so bad i end up using 2 of the 5 different types that china can make

Hmm that's interesting...most of the games I've played against China I don't think I have seen them keep using the old han army, usually I see more cav, flamming arrows and Chinese skirmishers...oh and lots of British redcoats or Archers. But maybe that's because they had to use something else.
Good.

Now people will have to find new strategies to play with China.

In the old game, 8/10 team games with china end up favoring Old Han if the match drags on.

Well, yeah they are weak for most the game very weak in age 2, okay in age 3, age 4 is the only time that they are strong which is very late game.

Im not talking about flame throwers and morts just army units late game you don't see old han because it really bad now
in original game old han could be used late game but cost was really high

I thought their other banner armies could be used late game too? I also thought they played out as the Asian version of Russia...able to mass cheap units quickly and in great quantity?

China is so bad at countering mass cav late game , if you can get enough wood u can counter the cav however once u run out or low your gone, plus you chew through that wood fast as well
