  • Spawn interval, unit cap: 11 s per Castle; cap 60.
  • Kills to Castle: 250. Kills to Imperial: 500.

  • Available buildings / disabled units after villagers: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord.

CBA role & archetype

  • Primary role: Dive (Liao Dao closes distance and hits both cav and infantry effectively).
  • Secondary role: Line-tank against archer-heavy compositions.

🌅 Opening play (minute 0–3)

  • Rally spawn to a forward-safe position — Liao Dao wants ground control, not turtle.
  • Short-patrol into archer civs, refuse fights vs pure hussar/cavalry mass in the first 60 seconds.
  • Fights to take: archer-signature civs (Britons, Mayans early) — Liao Dao's melee closes the gap.
  • Fights to refuse: Fire Archer / kite civs with LOS advantage.
  • Micro rule: Liao Dao is a dive unit; never patrol into a tanking cluster, always flank.

⚔️ Kill accumulation strategy

  • Safe farm: archer civs, monk-heavy civs.
  • Avoid feeding: Franks Paladin, Teutonic Knight clusters.
  • Anti-cage: forward-camp near a chokepoint, not near your own TC.

🏚️ Raze allocation

  • Mid to late priority. Wei scales less hard on villagers than the pure raze civs.
  • Feeds razes best to Huns, Persians, or Mayans.

👷 Post-villager composition

  • Wall order: front-wall priority (Wei wants to project outward), then backwall.
  • Build: 3 Castles for Liao Dao, 1 Stable for Hussar tag-along, 1 Siege Workshop.
  • Imperial comp: Elite Liao Dao + Hussar + Ram.
  • Silver-UT priority: not listed in the v294 wiki table — ask in the Requiem Discord — check help stone.

⚖️ Strong against / Weak against

  • Strong vs: Britons, Mayans (before Plume mass), Ethiopians archer play, generic archer/CA civs.
  • Weak vs: Franks Paladin, Teutons TK, Fire Archer / Fire Lancer specialty comps.

🤝 Team synergies

  • Pairs with: Shu (Fire Archer behind Liao Dao line), Wu (Fire Lancer + Liao Dao dive combo), Persians (front tank for Wei's dive).
  • Conflicts with: other pure-dive civs (Vikings, Goths) that compete for the same lane.

🎮 Key micro rules

  1. Never patrol Liao Dao straight into archers as a tank — flank.
  2. Keep at least 1 Hussar per 4 Liao Dao for chase.
  3. Wall front before backwall.
  4. Don't over-commit early; Wei's spike is Elite, not vanilla.
  5. Save gold for the silver UT.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Treating Liao Dao like a Paladin (it's not; it dies to dedicated anti-cav).
  • Neglecting Siege Workshop — Wei needs Rams for raze conversion.

🔒 Version-locked (Requiem v294)

  • CBA numeric fields above are from the Requiem v294 wiki table (retrieved 2026-08-21): interval 11 s, cap 60, kills 250/500, razes-to-vill 2.
