Spring and Autumn has a dearth of good units, and that definitely includes the 20 gold horsemen, which aren't anywhere near as good as the 25 gold lancers available to Tien Chi.
Thier heavier infantry would be _ok_ if they were strategic move 2, but instead they're weakly equiped _and_ slow. Only their Composite archers look decent; Glaives are nice, but no where near as good as 2 handed swords.
Either you can make their summoned troops work for you, or IMHO abandon all hope. |
