Tigermen of Cathay – No Submods Version
This is standalone version – no need for submods.
This means – no custom vo, no landmark, more stable campaign mp perfomance.
This mod offers 9 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 melee focused lord:
Tigermen – hybrid shock infantry. They offer all the essential infantry variants, dual daggers are ideal for slicing through infantry and can also be thrown while on the move, the shield variant is highly versatile and comes equipped with heavy, long-range bows. The spear and javelin variant excels at countering all manner of monsters.
Steelpelt Tigermen – armored shock infantry. Massive curved blades cleave through any armor, while halberds bring down any colossus, and heavy shields withstand any onslaught. They also carry a small supply of bombs to stagger the enemy before the clash.
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.
Tigermen Berserkers – relentless shock infantry with unbreakable discipline, feral speed, and an overwhelming charge bonus. Their smaller size compared to cavalry allows them to crash into enemy anti large spear walls without hesitation. Wielding massive warhammers and chain maces, they shatter armor and turn the battlefield into a blood-soaked slaughter. Recruited exclusively from a landmark settlement deep within the plains of Cathay – the Village of the Tigermen. But in this standalone version there is no such landmark, so you may find them in maxed tigermen building chain.
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.
Chandra’s Vanguard – hero unit, warriors of the Ind caste devoted to the mighty goddess Chandra, 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. Their abilities are focused on the eradication of daemons and the undead, with their final blessing allowing them to summon Chandra’s own mount lion onto the battlefield.
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. Their ultimate ability allows them to execute any infantry hero or lord with less then 50% health in a devastating long-range strike. However, they are highly ineffective against large foes.
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 battlefield-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.
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: 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.
