Yuan Bo's new units are pretty cool tbh however from the blog it does seem that Ctahay got the short end of the stick mechanically. What do you guys think?
I think Cathay might get the short end because they have more potential for content down the road so CA and games workshop is stretching it out
Onyx crowmen sound very… Birddemonlike
I just dont think thematically Yuan Bo was the right addiction to Cathay. We have already two lords around the center of the Empire and aside the new mechanics his campaign will be pretty much the same with the same expansions route. Should had used the Monkey King or even Yin-Yin for an exotic starting point
I think it’s totally possible the Yin/Yang and color lores is still a possibility for most of the siblings. Yuan Bo is the representative of the Emperor and Empress so I think it’s possible he’s being empowered by both which is why he has access to both yin and Yang and two other lores.
Baldurs Gate 3 was about $60 for the entire complete game. Chaos Dwarfs and Shadows of Change is $50 for basically 1.5 DLC.
The Magistrate was fine as a General, especially once they made it so you could unlock all of the buffs. The Celestial General should have been the Celestial Captain… Cathay badly needs a melee hero, and waiting 1-2 years for it… disappointing.
4 total lores of magic?! Dude is going to be a beast on the battlefield! Gonna have fun playing Cathay as him with all the new units being added into the game.
The silence and the fury had a good amount of balance? yeah nice fucking joke there bud
Yuan Bro’s a savage.
I hope the Jet Lion is somewhat visually different from the Jade lion, aside from its color..
It's understand-able Cathay seems lacking. Tznech got 3 famous named characters. their lord can litterally become any other lord. and the horror hero pair. Can litterally get any random spell to use from all lore's of magic. XD I mean. how can any faction DLC compare to that., XD
I think Baba Yaga may have gotten the most stuff, seeing as she doesn't seem to be a normal Kislev faction.
All of this looks amazing for 17.99 us dollar I would have been more then willing ti pay 25 If they had have been forward with us, I've been like. Look, guys, here are all the reasons why we chose this exact price and here is a promise to freeze prices for the remaining life of wh3
Be keen to give it a go in 6-12 months when it's actually priced reasonably
👍
Was this blog post written by ai?
Looks good, looking forward to the 31st
I don't feel we need too intricate campaign mechanics as they tend to be just for 1 leader which puts you off playing others. Rather have more general content like more units, general additions etc but seems we aren't getting that either soooooo…. yeh
'Can levy Garrison armies and take direct control of Allied or NEUTRAL armies.'
That's fucking insane.
Imagine a Rogue Army just pops up and Yuan Bo can just directly control them to fuck with Chaos.
I dont mind any of this.. but its far too litte. Considering how long we ar eprobably gonna have to wait to see any more stuff for Cathay, this feels very lackluster.
Nathan I see you are beginning to struggle to stay positive. Quickly segue from less than stellar mechanics to jade lion to heal your heart.
4 lores of magic considering how CA picks spells for lords with multiple lores, Yuan will be a beast or irritating. Why can't they just make a system where LL can have multiple complete lores, they don't seem to be doing much else anyway.
Cathy's basic mechanics need some help the compass is just useless and yin and yang as a whole needs some work.
Onyx crowmen should have been an assassin type hero, they literally serve (agents) the moon empress so why are they rank and file troops.
Magistrates should have received an overhaul where depending on if yin or yang they get a mini jade or jet lion as a mount.
Unit wise Jade and Jet lion look cool the other 2 are meh
Also complex mechanics are not some divine gifts they are bestowing us humble players with they are literally the bare minimum work they should do.
can we make the Lord magistrate a hero finally? like why would i ever choose him as a lord
Someone should update the mod that gives warband upgrades to every faction to also let every faction turn garrisons into armies. It's a shame common sense things that every faction should be able to do are locked behind certain races/factions.
I feel like this lord pack is pretty balanced in term of mechanics. I really like Yuan Bo so far. Maybe bc green is my favorite color and his green haha
Still waiting for lubu modders 👀🤔😝
More warpstone..now now
please please PLEASE CA, remove that annoying dogshit harmony mechanic from cathays campaigns. its fine in battles but its just aids on the campaign map.
Yawn. This is a laughable GC “mechanics content” drop. Jade lion looks fun, but that’s about it. Makes it an easy pass.
There are 5 active dragon kids right? so 2 Yin, 2 Yang and one who uses both. Balanced
Yep, you're right, Cathay is left with little update in this dlc also it literally looks like dwarf or bretonnia FLC but this time its paid…
I know i sjust a Drum but it looks so good.
I'm sorry but his sword looks frustrating to use.
Wont be getting this anytime soon Im Done with CA for a while…… they need to reel there stuff in because this is ridiculous.
Cathay should have gotten a melee lord and HERO, look Tzeentch got 2 LEGENDARY HEROS!!!!
Yeah… look, this stuff looks cool but the fact remains, I'm not gunna pay $35 AUD for this, period.
It’s just not enough to charge 25$ for. Disappointing
🤷♂️not impressed. And they want cash for this? Haha.
Idk but “pound your troops to victory” sounds like the worst kind of Lord.
Or the best, if you’re Slaaneshi.
I think to off writing is a joke that the changeling is writing it i mean the first "disdain for the dragon emperor" sounds like a typo but with thee eyecovered remarks i cant see it anyother way as intentionel and written by the changeling!
I can see them giving him Yin and Yang magic, but why light too? That would make way more sense for Shen Zoo to specialize in since she's you know…the Light Dragon. Apparently Shiyama could also use Yin and Yang magic as well…so are they more powerful and more special than the others (Miao Ying, Zhao Ming, Li Dao, Yin-Yin)? I don't like the inconsistency with this. If they were going to mix up their magic like this then Miao Ying should have heavens spells. Also, if Zhao Ming is the Empress' favorite kid and metal magic is Yin aligned, then why doesn't he have some Yin magic either? This doesn't really make much sense to me. I mean obviously all of them know all eight winds (in the lore since Yin and Yang are combined winds), but from a gameplay and alignment perspective this seems weird.
Im a litte bothered by the lack of what looks like functional unit that are single entities like Crowmen could easily be shit and other them them everything he gets is single entity so he gets nothing to replace/trade off with Jade warriors like they fucking suck and the race has a very small roster so like maybe they could give us a bit of something more as FLC?
The "Master of the Meteor-Wind" has no lore of the Meteor-Wind?!
Mother ostankia also has no New lore…
Ok fk ca fk them what a shit dlc for 25$ what a waste of money 🤬
Its all awsome, only wanna add more lores!=more power, many times tax for more lores take away rly powerfull spells from specyfic color…
Now we just to wait for all family to come to total war then
