Wei

The Wei are one of the three Three Kingdoms civilizations, themed around the historical Cao Wei state of ancient China. They are a defensive, economy-first civilization with strong cavalry options and resilient buildings. Wei walls and defensive structures gain bonus HP, and their unique unit — the Tiger Cavalry — is a fast, hard-hitting horse archer hybrid that excels in flanking maneuvers. Their unique tech bolsters cavalry archer durability. Wei players typically focus on a strong Castle Age boom protected by tough fortifications, then transition into cavalry archer compositions that punish overextended opponents. They are well-suited to closed and arena-style maps.
