How to Play Wu
Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Lean on the water from the start. Wu's cheaper ships and faster Docks let you out-fish and out-build any opponent on a hybrid or water map — open with an early Dock, secure deep fish, then contest the lake with Fire Ships (which hit harder thanks to the +2 attack bonus) backed by Galleys. On land, keep a light Archer presence to defend while your naval economy and fleet snowball into Castle Age.
Recommended build: Fire Galleys and Archers
