General tips for Cathay players
Secures the Schlangentor immediately
The big bastion is the most important barrier between the chaos desert as well as the east of this Cathay areas and has three passes . The Schlangentor’s south of the wall lies at the start of the game in ruins. In order to prevent more and more chaos and TZEENTCH units from flowing in your Reich, you should quickly occupy and rebuild the Schlangentor after the conquest of the first province.
If the colonization of the gate is completed, you have powerful, partly exclusive building improvements available, which, for example, reduce the maintenance for local armies, minimize recruiting costs or increase the visibility. Particularly practical: With the fourth upgrade of the bastion citadel you can hire the mighty terracotta warriors very early. Furthermore, building chains of all three goals are not subject to Yin and Yang mechanics.
ensures harmony in the kingdom
Characters, events, buildings and technologies are totally out of all Cathay fractions: Warhammer 3 linked to Yin- / Yang mechanics. This means: are the harmony values in balance, benefits your group of a variety of bonuses. These include better diplomatic relationships, lower construction costs for buildings, more growth, a quarter of more income from buildings, more control, less corruption and the Army ability Ancestain Warrior .
If the harmony, on the other hand, get out of balance, you have to calculate, among other things, with sensitive income losses . So that it does not come so far, you should always keep an eye on the harmony indicator at the top of the picture edge and counteract timely. For example, the Element Yang outweighs three points, you can quickly compensate for the harmony scale by setting a Yin commander (which provides for three yin points).
Be careful in the construction of buildings. If you are commissioned in a settlement a Yin building, you should always build a Yang building in another place – or next to explore a technology that also provides a Yang point. Here regularly gives the balance, initially needs something exercise , but pays off in every way.
also pays attention to yin and yang
Even the troops of Cathay include either Yin or Yang and fighting more effective when a unit of each other element is in its area . Therefore, always ensures that melee units (yang assigned) are always associated with remote fighters (yin associated with). If this is the case, for example, farmers’ sheet shooters benefit from increased reputability and a better guidance value.
Which element belongs to a unit shows the yin or yang symbol above the unit. If the symbol is displayed as a complete circle , the harmony bonus attacks. Important: The Yin / Yang Assignment of Regular troops only plays a role in real-time battles. On the harmony mechanics on the campaign card, they have no influence – unlike commands and heroes.
uses the ivory road as soon as possible
Immediately after the beginning of the campaign, Cathay players were the only group in total: Warhammer to send 3 caravans to generate a considerable amount of additional revenue. The following is: The further away is the destination of the caravan, the more money rinsed the journey at the end into the cash register.
However, on longer routes, the likelihood that the caravan is attacked by bandits. To minimize such attacks, you should rely on your caravan master as soon as possible ability “Wegfinder” . Also invest points in the skills “Hidden Bearing” and “Cargo Capacity”. The former ensures a faster healing of accompanying units, the latter allows the caravan to take more charge.
combines the Empire
The Large Caiserreich Cathay unleashes its full potential, especially when it is united. To achieve this condition, you should work up early on to destroy the rebels in the hinterland of the Great Wall. The same applies to the resident Tzeentch armies as well as the partly in the warpstone desert and north of marauding skaves.
Also, secure against the stirty Oger in the south . In addition, regular diplomacy with the other major Cathay Group is in focus. Want to mean: The sooner to close a non-aggression pact, the military alliance goes on, trade drives and the like, the faster a confederation is possible.
Sets the WU-XING compass situation due
With the WU-XING compass influence Cathay player in Total was: Warhammer 3 the winds of magic directly. At regular intervals, you can direct the compass into one of four directions and thus let certain bonuses. The rule of thumb here is: Do you have stress on the big bastion, then aligns the compass on the same point on the top left.
So, among other things, wounded armies heal faster. In addition, “Great Bastion” increases the defensive supplies with siege battles, reduces recruiting costs and turns the Army capacity “Heavenly Intervention” free.
If, on the other hand, income, growth and the winds of the magic are to be increased, the alignment “Heavenly Lake” is the first choice. “Anger of the Dragon Kiser”, in turn, is specifically offered when the control disappears in conquered regions and armies to suffer outside the wall wear. Stop “Warpstein Desert”: This ability then makes sense if your fine dears want to weaken in your home country and lower their corruption value.
