Strategic Analysis

Anti-infantry specialist with good armor

  • Infantry Counter: +2 vs infantry makes Liao Daos effective against enemy swordsmen and trash units. They trade favorably in most infantry matchups.
  • Eagle Killer: +2 vs Eagle Warriors makes them excellent against Meso civilizations. Spam Liao Daos to counter Eagle plays.
  • Cost Efficiency: At 40F/40G, Liao Daos are very affordable. Mass production enables overwhelming numbers.

Warning: Weak against cavalry and archers like most infantry. Need ranged or cavalry support in mixed battles.
