A list of units and gods from the Chinese Civilization of Age of Mythology: Extended Edition's Tale of the Dragon Expansion Pack.

---

In general

• A Commander Is You:
  • Spammer: The Chinese focus on growing a huge army and a booming economy very quickly. The Chinese army is focused on cheap, swift cavalry that are capable raiders good for disrupting the economies of others, and their units tend to take up less population cap so their armies can be bigger as well. However Chinese units are quite specialised and pound-for-pound generally weaker than other civs due to limited unit-enhancing technologies.
  • Technical: The Chinese have two heroes: the Immortals, a group of eight versatile heroes capable in melee or range, and the Monk who can heal wounded friendly units and convert enemy units to his side.
  • Economist: The Chinese gain Favor through Gardens which also each generate a trickle of other resources as well, and this makes their economy flexible and difficult to disrupt. To top it off, the Chinese have some of the best base defences in the entire game.
• Infinite Supplies: One of their unique buildings, the gardens, generate one of the four resources of your choosing, with multiple gardens increasing the gather rate. It is their only way of gathering favor. The maximum amount of gardens allowed to be built is 10.

Major gods

• Brother–Sister Incest: Far from unusual among deities, but his wife is also his sister.
• A Commander Is You:
  • Industrial: His Blessed Construction allows for very quick construction of troop training buildings and Wonders; combine with bonuses to Heroes and cheaper technologies and Fu Xi is a god who will become a nightmare if you make the mistake of ignoring him.

  • Economist: Her high pop cap allows for more Peasants (or soldiers, if you wish) but she can even resurrect Peasants who die in early animal attacks or raids, giving her a good chance of recovering from a bad start; her key weakness is that she can make her troops cheaper but has no way of making them better.
