Creative Assembly has revealed extensive details about Grand Cathay’s appearance in Total War: Warhammer 3.
Grand Cathay, a Chinese-analogue faction that is often referred to as one of the ‘lost’ nations, has never made an appearance outside of background lore and mysterious snippets of information. This reveal finally brings the nation to the forefront of the franchise, and a new trailer released today has unveiled details about play style, army roster, and rulers.
As one of the most powerful civilizations in the Warhammer universe, Grand Cathay has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years, ruled over by the descendants of the Celestial Dragon Emperor.
Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon, rules over Northern Cathay and the armies of the Great Bastion, whereas Zhao Ming, the Iron Dragon, commands the West. These two powerful beings are capable of assuming a human form and wielding the mysterious powers of Yin and Yang.
Grand Cathay is ruled in relative harmony, so the play style of this faction will rely on balance and order. The longer armies can maintain harmony on the battlefield and keep chaos at bay, the bigger the bonuses they can unlock.
The core of the army roster is built around Jade Warriors and the Celestial Dragon Guard, two expert troops supported by the Terracotta Sentinels, the Wu-Xing War Compass, and the Great-Jade Longma Riders.
More information on Grand Cathay is due to be released soon, according to the official blog post.
