 when someone says no op in a game it really bothers me to see when someone at the rank of 1st lut. or higher are the chinese because they usually take advantage of their 220 pop they have and they're pretty good eco. My brother has been them in the past and he said their amazing until they get ambushed with heavy cavalry units. I want to know from someone if they are op or non op or if it just relies on the player who are using them?

If you don't play vs french and spain they are OP

Only heavy Calvary civs can beat China. Sioux, France, and Spain do wonderful jobs of beating them. Also, British can beat them since you have longbows and rockets, provided you are able to keep there hand mortars back.

What makes something OP is when they have superior men and some of the specific things about the civ. Like France you can just send in one unit and win the game, or Japan with ash and flaming arrow. things like that are OP but China does have to switch up its strategies in-game at times and its also easier to counter them

china is mid term, between op and no op.  Because they are hard to boom and battle, dont have any op unit, but have a huge economy and some op cards.

They're OP because there is no way to cost effectively counter their units. CHU will **** any Skirm unit, and of course Heavy inf easy. So you make Heavy cav, which will in turn just make you drain faster than the China even if you get a really good K/D. It doesn't help that China has a very good Eco.

China can drain opponents fast and stall for HOURS provided you dont have bad teammates

I gendarme charge you, whatcha gonna do then ?

I think they are similar to Russia

And Russia is OP

They both are hard to drain with good eco's

this post is completely irrelevant. 

I didn't feel like writing it all out about the dopps, so I just posted that since StrategicJoeL already had it written out about Andes and everything

Yeah to bad that doppels get pwnd by ckn...therefore making your post irrelevant 

a dop ulahn skirm push is really good against china if you can position it right... you just can't keep the push up for long. best way to beat china is to take absolute map control... and by that i don't mean 1000000 walls. just good control, then creating some diversions for them, a mort or two on the other side of the map, just slowly chipping away at their walls is good.

I quickly pull up my OP cannon and blow open the walls and send Gendarmes in, eventually with enough of them you are forced to  quit,  because you have been outplayed.
