Total War: Warhammer 3 best Grand Cathay units
Grand Cathay has been an intriguing new addition to the world of Warhammer Fantasy made in Total War: Warhammer 3. While some background lore on this mighty nation of humans existed for many years, we are now finally able to interact with and play as some of the most important personalities of the Dragon Empire – first and foremost, of course, the dragons themselves.
However, even these powerful beings could not stem the tides of Chaos or Greenskins all alone, which is why the Dragon Emperor and his Moon Empress have united the people of Cathay into what is likely the most formidable realm of humans in the world. Commanding powerful troops in all categories, including strong gunpowder troops, flyers, and constructs, Grand Cathay is a foe that can’t be trifled with. Just like their society, their military works together under the banner of harmony between Yin and Yang, gaining great bonuses when deployed in the right formation.
There are many Cathay unit mods on the Steam Workshop that expand the faction’s roster a bit more, so we’d encourage you to check them out for an even more exciting line-up. As for their regular roster, we’ve collected the best Grand Cathay units in Total War: Warhammer 3 in this handy list.
