Lou Chuan mode-switching coastal siege
Lou Chuan can switch attack modes and applies strong pressure to buildings, but its high gold cost makes it an investment for a planned siege rather than a routine fleet ship. It is less suited to fighting units than a Dromon.
Overview
Lou Chuan can switch attack modes and applies strong pressure to buildings, but its high gold cost makes it an investment for a planned siege rather than a routine fleet ship. It is less suited to fighting units than a Dromon.
Plan and execution
Keep Lou Chuan behind a naval screen, select its building-focused attack when a shore structure blocks progress, and use the alternate mode only when its target justifies the approach. Coordinate with land units so the bombardment opens a usable route.
Risks and adaptation
Dromons or ordinary warships may serve better against mobile units. Do not spend the gold on Lou Chuan without a protected objective, and retreat if the fleet screen breaks.
