Hi, thanks for stopping by.  Chinese archers have a bonus on their shooting range.  It's about 20% further than others.  Chinese heavy infantry have about 25% more close attack damage than others because they use a two handed weapon, but suffer a much lighter amour, about 80% lighter than others.  The rest are more less similar to others.

Xiang Yu is young, so you will need to wait for a few years for him to become available.  He will start at Chu but not necessary for Chu.

Xian Yu would not necessary come and join you, but he will be wondering from city to city and seeking for an employer. You would need patch 1.08 though.

India archers use a larger arrow than others which make them shoot slower but making more damage. Chinese infantries provides a pretty good target for them. When you face Indian archers you need to use your archers to counter them, or push you infantries in. (charge in, instead of walk in). Head to head against other infantries with a shield on their hand, Chinese infantries are not taking any advantage. You have to flank them and attack them from behind to gain advantage. If you use one heavy infantry to flank the enemy, it won't work because they will quickly turn to face the attacker. You need one in their front and one in their back to create the chaos.

A standard deployment would be keeping one archer division in the front, one light infantry behind them, and one heavy infantry on the flank. While the enemy approaches, the archer will soften their strength. As they come closer, pull your archers behind your light infantry. After the enemy engage with your light infantry, send your heavy infantry to their back. Your light infantry would not hold too long since they don't carry a shield, but by flanking them you get a better chance.
