I am addicted to the Chinese Got spare money?

Well, I'm still a new RoN player (still playing at moderate / tough levels), but I have tried every civ. I must say I am baffled by the Chinese to the point I wonder why someone would ever want to play with others.

Their 'ordinary' special abilities (cheaper scientific techs, free medicine techs) aren't that great, but their big ability - immediately created citizens, caravans and merchants - is a monster .
I don't have to pay much attention or to memorize too much when managing my economy. A bunch of click and the workforce is ready. Even better, if I'm late in building a wonder, I only have to shift+click 3 times on the nearest city to boost my construction team hugely Besides, the Chinese allow me to build my economy as quickly as possible, much better than the British IMHO.

I have tried to play with other Civs since I became addicted to the Chinese, but I didn't find any that nearly matches its greatness. Are they such a perfect Civ ?

Increase the size of your Attachments

The fast citizens in the beginning kind of throw your timing off. Have to re-calculate the build order- normal production will have your wood/farms filled before a new city is founded. Otherwise,

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Where the hell is Legoland? I live in Michigan.

But he's right- that insta-build bonus is quite unique. Chinese is an excellent choice for new players.
