How to Play Jurchens
Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Lean on the Jurchens' cavalry identity and head for a Fast Castle. Skip heavy Feudal aggression, secure your economy and wall up, then reach Castle Age to flood out of your faster-working Stables. With +2 cavalry armor, cheaper Blacksmith upgrades, and the Jurchen Knight on hand, you arrive in Castle with a tanky mounted force that snowballs map control — transitioning naturally into the Fire Lancer once you can support it.
Recommended build: Jurchens Fast Castle Fire Lancer
