NOOB'S GUIDE to YUAN BO (THE JADE DRAGON) | TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER III

[@bradycadek2409]

I personally think for this dlc they should give him the ability to raise taxes in a settlement by 250% at the cost of a major unhappiness penalty

[@sirunklydunk8861]

And all you need to do to bring it back up is to release a statement that says tea prices are going up and Yuan Bo might cancel construction and trade projects if people don’t pay. ….Wait, what do you mean that just made them angrier?

[@godoforder1828]

You mean like they did to the DLC price?? Damn what a reference that would be

[@daangoes121]

Kind of a false calculation. Mine came out a 60% (for a DLC for 15 dollars) or a 150% if the price is 10. Price increase. With the formula: new - old / old* 100

Thank you for being such a positive force in the community. Total war is in chaos, but your noob's guides are a beacon of hope. Incredible writing and comedic timing. Even if I don't buy the DLC, I will support your channel in any way I can!

[@codybonds]

Thank you! I figure we can all still have a laugh and enjoy some lore.

[@changsiah2]

yeah I do hope play all things will get fixed up and maybe adjust the pricing nd everything else and what not even though I don't think CA is evil or greedy but there the hands always feel a bit forced into things ( I would say mainly economy as well as quality these days even if quality can be a bit questionable) also I don't really like to talk about video game pricing these days it tends to make me feel like hoes mad sometimes and feeling a bit of a cheapskate I think eventually we're still going to buy the DLC in a sale but yeah I kind of agree I'm not buying total Warhammer 3 right now or have any plans to be honest. maybe in a couple of years ( mainly because of the DLC releases as well as how amount DLC's can be)

The true leader of Grand Cathay, while the Emperor is currently on vacation. And he's the worst nightmare Chaos could face, a bureaucrat. And also a spymaster and executioner, but those aren't as scary. And he's also apparently a cat and bird person with the new units he brings. "There is no imbalance in Grand Cathay."

Ive learned that Yuan Bo genuinely does fucking everything in kathay, i wouldnt be suprised if hes the janitor as well.

[@codybonds]

Definitely seems like the kind of guy who would micromanage what broom gets used.

[@iniudan]

Scout unit are always useful in a faction with excellent artillery and considering the come from the same building then your regular infantry, it at least give you some easy access to a flanking and pursuit unit, letting your regular army do what it does best, holding the line, now with easy access to a way to remove repeat customer.

[@joaogomes9405]

Right, but they're not a scout unit at all. They're infantry mulchers with a whopping 41 melee attack, 40 melee defense and 45 weapon strength when boosted with harmony. Get them on the back of any front line and they go through them faster than units twice their gold cost. Not to mention, with stalk they're actually surprisingly good at getting at ranged units, which usually are easiest way to remove lightly armoured flyers like them. But fell bats, carrion and harpies these boys are not, they're honestly more like ripperdactyls or sabertusk packs with fly.

[@loganhartsel5513]

@@joaogomes9405I just can’t ever justify them. Any time I use them, they do hardly any damage and die instantly. Come to think of it now, it just seems like EVERY flying melee unit does that. I would rather use the second Cavalry you unlock with Cathay rather than the flying cavalry because it feels like they do no damage, the charge seems like it doesn’t disrupt any units at all, and then when I try to cycle them, they jet sit there for 5 seconds before even taking flight

[@vicentetemes5793]

I like how they're kinda making Cathay the analogue for the 40k Imperium (ruled by a godlike emperor who is totally not a god you guys, he's also not human but pretends he kinda is sometimes, he loves and kisses and has done the dirty with a slightly less powerful being of a similar nature whose name starts with M, has several equally off-human children who all have issues and hate each other...) And then they made the biggest one in charge of everything a mix of Leman and Magnus, known for despising each other.

[@bruuuuuuuuhhhh]

Unlike the Emperor in 40k though, I guarantee you that the Dragon Emperor has 0 problems with being worshipped like a god, probably because he's older than most Fantasy gods

[@Brutalyte616]

Fun Fact: The ability to use Yin and Yang magic requires proficiency, if not total mastery, of all of the Winds of Magic. The reason Yuan Bo does not have this in-game is because, like the rest of his family, he is simply better at using some of the Winds of Magic more than others, and so prefers to use them instead, and his strongest affinity is for the Celestial Magics of the Wind of Azyr. As an aside, human mages are only allowed to practice Astromancy in Cathay, and it is actually illegal for humans to practice any other form of magic in Cathay, as decreed by the Dragon Emperor himself. One of Yuan Bo's chief responsibilities given to him by his father is to strictly monitor and regulate the usage of magic within Cathay, which is why he has such strong ties to the Astromancers of the Celestial Court.

[@Darthmechas]

‘There is no trouble in Grand Cathay.’ 😳😳

[@nulllex0099]

Here again to say that I love your style, your videos AND the gameplay sections seeing how everything was implemented into a game.

[@joaogomes9405]

Just feel like I should point out, crowmen are busted right now. If they're in range of harmony, which with lanterns and drums is not hard at all to ensure, they sit at a pretty insane 41 melee attack, 40 melee defense and 45 weapon strength. On a unit that costs 600 gold, yet hits on par with elite damage dealer units like chosen, swordmasters and wardancers. They'll fold like paper against ranged fire, but that's what stalk's for, and if you use them to hit exposed flanks, they're ridiculously good at mulching infantry. The ROR is even better with better stats and a bombardment ability capable of deleting chaff in a single use. So yeah, dismissing them as flying scouts is doing a disservice to what's honestly the strongest unit added to Cathay's roster with the DLC.

Yo. You there, man. Thanks for them laughs & chuckles. They always appreciated. Also, if you are already looking into references for Ostankya, I highly suggest the vintage (1964, soviet made) classic "Morozko" (Wikipedia says it ran as "Jack Frost" in english... but good look finding that nonsense, eh.)

Won't be buying the dlc but happy to give you and other content creators a view and subscription etc. CA have a deep hole to dig themselves out of now, can't describe how pissed off I am about the state of the game at the moment. Think the majority of us have been repressing our annoyance about it since launch telling ourselves "it'll get better" until this point now where it seems like we've all had enough of CAs behaviour.

[@codybonds]

That’s my position as well. There’s only so many promises of a better tomorrow before you have to take a long hard look and where you really stand. For me that will mean distancing myself from the company and pursuing other tangential avenues.

[@NorscaWolves]

@codybonds do what you gotta do. Hopefully all together it hurts CA enough to turn them around, keep making Noob guides though if you can they're always great fun to watch.
