Langshan Jiang transport-and-Trebuchet opening
Langshan Jiang is a naval landing mission where a small Villager transport reveals a Trebuchet and a useful gathering site. Move the engine through the marsh positions to remove towers while the fleet secures the water.

Overview
Langshan Jiang is a naval landing mission where a small Villager transport reveals a Trebuchet and a useful gathering site. Move the engine through the marsh positions to remove towers while the fleet secures the water.
Plan and execution
Clear only enough enemy ships to protect the opening move. Send the Transport Ship with Villagers to the right-hand shore, gather the nearby gold and wood, then load the Trebuchet and supporting soldiers for the small marsh landings. Destroy the towers and clear nearby defenders. Establish food income, Monks, and a Market, then convert enemy ships and repair your fleet with Villagers before choosing the next landing route.
Risks and adaptation
Do not expose the transport while the initial ships remain active. The Villagers are your only early economy, and the Trebuchet needs an escort against scattered defenders.
