Overview[]
On the battlefield, Ma Teng loses the powerful Flames of the Phoenix splash attack most other vanguards have, greatly neutering his damage potential. Instead, he has Unyielding Earth from the generic commander skill tree, allowing him to temporarily increase the defenses of his nearby allies.
As a faction leader, Ma Teng increases the income generated by silk and spice. As he starts the campaign right next to all three silk generating commanderies, this represents a large early game economic bonus. Should Ma Teng's faction be destroyed and he goes to the recruitment pool, this makes him a good recruit for factions that can easily secure silk or spice.
Biography[]
Although the exact details of Ma Teng’s birth are up for debate, many believe he was born in 156CE in Maoling County (Fufeng Commandery). His father, Ma Ping, was once an esteemed officer of the Han Empire, but he was dismissed from his post after a mysterious dispute. Ma Ping then went to live among the Qiang tribes in Northern China, married a local woman, and fathered Ma Teng. Ma Teng’s early life was one of great poverty. In his youth, he was put to work selling firewood he collected from the mountains to help his family make ends meet.
He grew up to be an accomplished warrior, and when the Qiang tribes rebelled, he enlisted in the Han army to secure the rule of the Han government. His significant martial prowess shone through, and when the rebellion was suppressed, he was granted the title of officer in the Han Empire. It was during this campaign that he met and became great friends with Han Sui, and together they now control much of Liang Province.
Rising from nothing to a position of power and wealth because of the support of the Han Dynasty, he is keen not to see it fall to pieces. While many others have broken their oaths of fealty, with the echoes of his father’s disgraceful removal still hanging in the air, Ma Teng is keen to avoid the same fate and bring further shame to his family.
Even as the storm of chaos rolls and thunders over Luoyang, Ma Teng does not let the squalls of the court cloud his mind. Though many say the dynasty is finished, Ma Teng remains loyal to the Han, prosecuting the enemies of the emperor above all else. On the western fringes of the empire, he has long defended China’s most valuable trade routes, holding back hostile interlopers, and will continue to charge into battle in the emperor’s name.
Ma Teng may treat his friends well, but he remains merciless with Han’s enemies. He was made General of the West and was persuaded, along with Han Sui, to aid Dong Zhuo in battling against the coalition that formed against him.
