Yuan Bo but he hates infantry.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Guess Yuan Bo is a cat person for the amount of Jade and Jet Lions you used in this campaign. Plus I really like the adorable cat animations both of the Lions have. They're really cute seeing them pounce on the enemy and tear them to shreds.

[@sauronplugawy3866]

Such a cute little murder machine.

[@ogo5516]

Yes very cute. You know what else is cute? The fact that CA charges 25$ for those cute animations

[@Gans848]

​@@ogo5516My god. Its honestly sad how haters are going to comment same thing everywhere. Most people dont care. Let people enjoy dlc and if you dont like it then dont buy it. Either way this dlc will be more profitable for ca than the rest so the price wont change.

[@andyn2196]

​@@Gans848which sucks, cause that shouldn't be the standard going forward. Unfortunate reality is that by commenting everywhere, it will get people to care about it even if it's just to shut the people up who keep talking about it. Although realistically, I'm not holding my breath for it to change much, as like you said most people don't care

[@ogo5516]

@@Gans848 considering there are a lot of "haters" that means that most people do care. You"ll be thanking those haters when CA submits and is decreasing the price and/or brings more quality content. People aren't hating without reason. The hate is justified.

This is amazing, the fact that Cathay finally has more than just melee/range balances and cavs, with further air support via crow men as well as the base game sky lanterns and sky junks. The lions seem tier 3 to build making them more viable than terracotta sentinels which a tier 5 building unit. The Zhangu wardrum can make Cathay as strong in melee close to dwarves and chaos dwarfs. Of course Bo himself is a huge upgrade as well as the celestial general is a huge upgrade from the melee lord, the magistrate.

it should be $5 but honestly not even that its a tiny tiny update. a dlc should have new units for every faction or heck a new faction

[@petersamway5617]

There is nothing it "should" be, only what you want it to be and what you will buy it at. Welcome to economics. If enough buy it at 25 then the price was right, if enough don't they will adjust. To claim what a price should be is a bit conceited.

[@lamnaa]

What a strange campaign for someone who's supposed to be administering the heart of the Empire. Feels more like what Yin-Yin the Sea Dragon would be getting up to. I wonder why CA picked Yuan Bo of all possibilities for Cathay.

[@lordpappanqui]

I have been saying and posting the EXACT same thing: YinYin is now a moot character, especially where her starting area would be…. More to the point, Yuan Bo SHOULD be starting in Cathay given his background, abilities and overall function. CA effed this one up.

[@Elementroar]

The thing is Yin-Yin’s main claim to fame so far is how massively she fucked up the invasion and had nothing to show for it. No way in heck is Dragon Dad letting Yin-Yin near any responsibility anymore after that fuck up, so he drags his number one son out and tells him “clean up your sister’s mess, show her how it’s done”. Tho like storywise, I feel the Monkey King or Tzeentch would take the opportunity with Yuan Bo out of the capital to do some shenanigans

[@shmekelfreckles8157]

Pretty sure the current lore is that Yin-Yin massively fucked up and ruined her credibility when trying it last time, so now Yuan Bo was tasked with fulfilling Dragon Emperor’s plans.

[@souleater4242564kodd]

You think CA cares about being accurate?

[@ASpaceOstrich]

Because being the administrator is his cover story. I mean, he does do that job, and thats why he has the mechanics related to it, but he's not actually just an administrator. He's the most trusted of all the Celestial dragons children and he's been entrusted with the invasion of Lustria as part of the Celestial Dragon Emperors secret plan.
