The Fire Rain Rockets have tbe benefit of putting out twice as many rockets per barrage as a Sky Junk. That's really the appeal, it's saturation and weight of fire against better positioning and relative safety
@FlashToast Жыл бұрын
Came here to say this. Yes, I love the Sky Junk, but with twice the firepower you can obliterate lines before they get to you.
@marcgargante9776 Жыл бұрын
Same thing. Consistently deleted half the enemy army with two of these units before they got into melee range during my Cathay campaign. I also feel like the stray rockets are more predictible than the sky junk, so if you target the right unit you can predict the strays rockets to hit other enemy units nearby.

Also it is important to note that the lantern and the junk boost morale by +4 and allow you to see enemies hidden in trees map wide as well. It's Always a good idea to have one in the army to reach ridiculous amounts of leadership for all units. In my solo campaign my PEASANTS have 90+ leadership thanks to that and other stuff.

to help your range unit flank the ennemy, I oftenly place my melee unit in some type of collumn formation instead of a line to encourage units to attack them on the flank, exposing themselves to my archers. It reduced the amount of micro management, but will increase melee lost, especially if they are weak units

I was honestly going into this release not giving two squirts about Cathay (having all eyes upon the Dawi Zharr, Ogres, and Nurgle) but I have to say their ranged units are very interesting and flavorful--looking at you, floaty tea candle lamp things--and the yin-yang concept for the troops is intriguing.

One note on sky junk vs fire rain. Sky junk is 1 model, with 1 fire rain cannon. Fire rain has 3 fire rain cannons. This is a huge difference, with a total of 36 shots worth of damage vs 15 shots. That's a lot more damage. And I've noticed the land unit is a bit more accurate it seems. And deals more damage quicker due to more shots at a time.

The balloons give +4 Leadership, have infinite ammo for their crane guns, provide sight in all trees across the map, have excellent line of sight on targets practically anywhere, and benefit from the relative safety of flight. All in all, the balloons just have way to many pros compared to cons. Sticking a fire rain and two balloons was my go to for a long time, but I've recently started just using two balloons in favor of an extra terracotta sentinel for my frontline. I haven't really felt the loss that much.

@zebjensen42512 жыл бұрын
Present Archers are also just useful if you just need bodies in your army and don't have the coin for better things. Also the rocket cannons are decent because there is three models each with 12 volleys so that's 36 in total which I believe is more then the Sky junk. Ether way love the vid.
@magni56482 жыл бұрын
Another con I'd add is that it's overall not a very mobile army. Cathay's cavalry roster is all of three units, and while the Longma Riders are pretty nice elite flying cav, the Peasant Horsemen and Jade Lancers are basically worse brettonian Yeomen and Empire Knights respectively.

Fire rain rockets are, firepower wise, superior to sky junks because a sky junk is just one rocket artillery, while fire rain contains 4 artillery pieces (on ultra). Of course sky lanterns have greater maneuverability, crane gunners and bombs, but if you're just using the junk as an artillery piece, the fire rain rockets will probably get more kills.

The army composition leaves a lot to be desired. Sky lanterns are terrible units, very delicate and not that usefull; use one if you must for the leadership buff but no more, two is just a waste of space. Almost anything else is better. The endgame army is not great, to say the least. Dragon crossbows are one of the best unit in the game, they can melt almost anything. Use more, like 6-8, using only 2 is sad. I find that one sentinel is enough; also sky junks are not better than rocket artillery, they just have better line of sight... usually. I mean, play as you like, but I believe that yuor army temlete will result in an unoptimized Cathay.

As cool as this is, my monkey brain prefers the General Grant style of sending mass units at the enemy. While cool, I think I'll prefer khorne and the ogre kingdoms, maybe slannesh as well.

From what I've seen they're the ultimate glass cannon. They'll melt things if left alone, but if they get cuaght in melee or shot at they'll die just as quick themselves. Also Missile Mirror is absolute hilarity against them, they'll wipe out like 80% of their own healthbar with a single reflected volley.

The army compositions that you recommend are cool and have a huge variety of troops but are quite ineffective, for the endgame armies you want a lot more celestial crossbowmen, the gunpowder units imo are completely useless, having some rocket batteries is super strong as they have an insane dps, i would get only one lantern per army for the utility it provides, one last thing for anyone reading this and not knowing a lot about the game, you should focus on 2-3 different units per army and buff those as much as possible, too much variety hurts you, if not playing in very hard or legendary colonels recommendations work just fine
