Lily’s Cathay DE Overhaul + Unit Pack

Sons and Daughters of Fair Bretonnia…. wait I mean Cathay! I present my first Major Non-Bretonnian mod, the Cathay unit pack and overhaul!

This mod is a rework of Cathay, adding new units and balance changes to enhance your dynastic campaign of the immortal empires.

This overhaul experience was designed to increase the diversity of the early game units, modifying buildings, units and technologies that relate to the use of Cathay’s peasant units.

This mod is currently in a BETA state, as new changes and improvements will be made as time goes on.

Definitive Edition Features:
• Changes to Edicts, Techs and Buildings, such as peasant recruit rank and recruit cost becoming province wide from the Yin and Yang Conscription chains.
• Changes to existing units, such as Sky Lanterns with a higher unit count!
• New units, Nan-Gau Archers, Nan-Gau Executors and Militia Long Spears!
• New Building chain: Militia Barracks

New Units & Reworked Units:

Peasant Long Spearmen
• Reduced cost and upkeep but made weaker also
• No longer has formed attack
• New unit card and new technology effect to reduce their cost

Peasant Archers
• Reduced cost and upkeep but made weaker also
• New unit card

Militia Long Spears
• Recruited from Militia Barracks
• Stronger and smaller in model count than vanilla Peasant Long Spearmen
• Gains all the bonuses from techs and skills that effect Peasant Long Spearmen

Nan-Gau Archers
• Recruited from Nan-Gau Recruitment Office
• Stronger and smaller in model count than vanilla Peasant Archers
• Gains some bonuses from skills that would effect Peasant Archers
• Longer range with high accuracy

Nan-Gau Executors
• Recruited from Nan-Gau Recruitment Office
• A small squad that empowers other units. This unit is not a front line fighter!!

FAQ
Q: Is this mod compatible with such and such mod?
A: If the mod alters Cathay techs, buildings and units then I cannot guarantee that it will work perfectly but this mod should be highly compatible! Please double check the mod on its own and verify integrity of your game cache before reporting a crash to desktop.

Q: Lily, are you going to add more units? Do you take requests?
A: I’m more likely to revamp and edit the existing units than create new ones. I do take commissions for making separate mods, but I’m fussy with what I work on and I’m not as well versed as other modders with script/lua and many other aspects of modding.

Message from the Creator:

This is daunting, having been focused solely on Bretonnia for so many years I have no idea how this mod will be received, I will greatly cherish any constructive feedback I receive and I really hope that you love it.

I would love to hear your feedback!
