Civilization Notes -

- Shang has two exclusive new weapons called Halberd and Pike
- Shang also uses Belly Bow for their Arbalist range units which was previously exclusive to Greeks
- Shang is the chinese civilization of Age of Empires
- Shang Short-Sword Man is the first playable unit of the game to have two weapon slots unlike the Hypasist which only uses one sword slot- to compromise and balance this advantage they only can use cloth armor
- Flamethrower is inspired by the dragonbreath siege weapon that ancient chinese battles used
- Instead of Houses, Shang have Huts which are a lot cheaper to build but are not as durable as houses since they have half of HP of a house which makes them very vunerable

The Pro's and Con's of Shang Civilization -

Pro's -
- Has a balance of strong infantry, range and siege
- Villagers cost only 20 Food to produce
- Has all Wall and Tower upgrades
- Huts (which replace houses) cost only 25 Wood to build for +5 Population

Con's -
- Lacks anti-range units
- Lacks a few Economy upgrades
- Lacks Priest Units
- Town Centre has less starting HP than all Civs
- Armory upgrades are more expensive
