• I tried a china strat its really funny LOL if you do it right your opponent gets pissed. Maybe some people wont find it useful but my PR is 12.

• Its not really a FF, since china's age up times are slow, but it can be done by me in less than 8 minutes, so any better player will do it faster. 

• Cards needed (im not sure about the names, because I have the german vertion, but I will write the description):

- Luxury laws (small trickle for all resources).

- Improved Wonders (wonders have more HP and they are build faster).

- 700 gold

- 300 export.

• Recomended cards:

- Old han reform

- Acupuncture (all units are made faster) and the card for faster armies.

- And some military 3rd age shipments of your choise. (10 arquebusiers, 13 CKN)

• Build Order:

• Discovery:
  

-3 villagers to hunts ( if its an asian map the first hunt doesnt run, but in any other map try to herd the hunts so they dont run too far away and you loose time while your villagers walk).

- The other 3 villagers gather crates and start making villagers ASAP and then all go to food.

- Make a village and you will have 100 spare wood, or maybe more in maps like Deccan. Dont waste the wood.

- First card is Luxury laws.

- Second card is Improved wonders, to age up a little faster.

- Age up with  the Summer palace. Maybe with 3 or 4 villagers, but make sure you have like 12 on food after you have aged.

• Colonial:
  

- Third card is 700 gold.

- Pick up the 400 food from age up and have 5-6 villagers gathering 300 gold.

- When you have enough gold move your gold villagers to wood.

- Age up with Confusian Academy (the flying crow building).

- Fourth card is 300 export.

In the transition build First a Barrack, then a consulate.

• Fortress: 

 Now comes the fun part

- Build some  Territorial armies (3 arquebuisier, 3 changado) and set the summer palace to make the last army(not sure about name).

- In the consulate ally with british and get the petards 

- When you have a big enough army attack, and try to sneak the petards from other way and get the TC.

- Keep making villagers and military, If the map is big you can make a FB.
