Tigermen of Cathay
Tigermen by official lore make up a significant portion of the population of Cathay. In ancient times, the beastmen who once were marked by chaos were purified by the sacred flame of the dragon emperor.

This mod offers 12 new units for all Cathay playble factions, as well as 2 new building chains and landmark for Village of the Tigermen. Additionally this mod offers 2 new agents (assasin and tank roles), legendary hero and 2 melee focused lords:
Tigermen and Steelpelt Tigermen – Both types are shock infantry: they have low model counts and deal devastating charge damage, but struggle in prolonged melee. They can replenish health once per battle with potions after disengaging from combat. The unarmored variant also features ranged weapons and the ability to remain hidden while crouching.
Gajindras – mighty big single entity elephant monsters right from jungles of Ind. Each possesses a unique fighting style; together, they cover all weaknesses, forming a flawless doctrine of aggressive warfare.
Tigermen Berserkers – relentless shock infantry with unbreakable discipline, feral speed, and an overwhelming charge bonus. Their smaller size compared to cavalry allows to crush into enemy spear lines without hesitation – they also have healing flasks and crouch ability. Tendua Assasins – elite shock infantry, honed for cutting down enemy ranks with ease. Their shurikens are coated with a potent yet basic venom, while the poison on their blades erodes enemy armor with every strike (Wheeping Blades). Their buildings provide a steady income, but the ruthless methods they employ to amass wealth destabilize the region. And Bomberhulks – the feral warriors of the Monkey King, these mighty gorillas serve as auxiliary forces within Cathay’s armies. A hybrid unit of monstrous infantry, they unleash a barrage of bombs upon their foes before charging into melee, crushing the enemies of the Emperor with their bare hands.
Hero types: Chandara’s Vanguard – hero unit, warriors of the Ind caste devoted to the mighty goddess Chandara, patron of demon slayers and the bane of the undead. Clad in heavy armor and wielding a great shield, they rain down magical arrows from a spectral bow before cleaving monsters into splinters with a sanctified blade. Tendua Shadow – the finest assassins of the enigmatic Tendua clan, a formidable force in the shadow plays of the East. On the battlefield, they excel at eliminating isolated infantry targets, utilizing a deadly arsenal of ranged techniques.
Lord types: JadeClaw Warlord – blessed by the Emperor’s all-seeing jade stone, this warlord offers an alternative, more ferocious path for Cathayan forces. The Tigermen do not adhere to traditional Yin-Yang tactics, instead focusing on the sheer versatility of their infantry. This warlord enhances the overall strength of his army, wields a formidable array of ranged abilities, and can unleash wide buffs that drive his warriors into a berserker fury. His ultimate ability calls forth a blazing comet, and from its smoldering ashes emerges the Scorched Shields – warriors whose shields are blessed by the sacred flame of the First Dragon. And powerful Gajeshvarah – elephant lord – pure beast of eternal war. This Lord is a god-tier asset for a melee-focused doctrine. In the early game, he is costly and provides minimal army buffs, but once fully leveled, entire waves of enemies will break against the army led by this Colossus of Ind.
Cloud Walker – Legendary Hero, from the mist-wreathed peaks of the Azure Monastery descends a warrior unlike any other – a battle-scarred panda monk, once a legend of past wars, now a guardian of balance. Scarred by bloodshed, yet bound by visions of Chaos, he joins your cause not for glory, but for the salvation of kin and harmony. Begins at your side from turn one for any Cathay faction.

q: Why do i need these submods, Mixer unlocker and Audio Mixer?
a: Mixer is universal mod for compatibility with other mods. We could make this mod without it, but it would not be compatible with the vast majority of other mods. Sound mixer uses same logic, but for game sounds.
q: Caps system? But why?
a: Its good way to demonstrate their limited numbers – after all, there are far fewer Tigermen in Cathay than humans. Bomberhulks(Gorillas) is the only unit that not affected by caps, they got increased hire time instead (2 turns).
q: This unit is so opso weak
a: Please elaborate in comments, a good balance is the direct responsibility of the mod developers, the more opinions the better.
q: Why is this mod is almost 1gb heavy?
a: This is only beggining of our project, called Tigermen Tribes, files there will be used in the future, as Tigermen full factions with much bigger roster in IEE map in lands between Cathay and Ind.
