Yin and Yang gone?

[kuzmich_kek]

I've turned off all modes, reinstalled the game, haven't bought the dlc, but the main mechanic of Cathay is completely gone. Pls help, wanna play badly but its all gone...

Didn't you read the patch notes? it's been reworked, you can check the Yin and Yang indicator on each province/settlement panel.

It's not gone, it is now a per-province resourse. Check the Settlement tab at the left side of the screen when a province is sellected. You'll see the ying-yang values and systems there. The OG faction-wide system really didn't work very well, I think the per-province approach is better, but it is less pronounced.
Army-based ying-yang values still exist too, mind you. Units will get bonuses if they are close to units with opposite value.

its not gone its just changed - read the patch notes

part of the free update is a re-work to Cathy's harmony mechanic. It's now an individual province stat instead of for your whole faction.

It actually makes more sense but it's not explained in much depth in the game. You will actually want to use the effects of a yin or yang imbalance in certain provinces as one helps massively boost growth and the other is better for recruitment, but then being in balance is better for the fully developed provinces. You'll see the yin-yang symbol next to your settlements for it's effects.

Now you're freer to choose your techs & legendary lords as they no longer have a bonus to yin or yang.

Thanks! Haven't been online for some time XD

If you want the mechanic back, there's already a mod that re-added it.

Oh, that's nice

am i stupid or does cathay feel a bit overpowered? i seem to perform much better with them in immortal empires than with the other factions

I did a Yuan Bo campaign where i absolutely stomped in cathay but think that was because the DE faction just focused on taking out Sniktch and was then taken out by other cathayan factions, so the order factions just had it easy. in the dev notes for the free update it's explained that there is some randomisation of things when you start campaign now to change up how effective each faction is and which settlements they focus on expanding into.

For my Yuan Bo campaign chaos above the bastion seemed more active then I remember. The Chaos Dwarfs and Villitch actually didn't fight for once and broke through all the gates until I could get an army up there to help.

ye i started as myio ying or whatever and the puppets of misrule and khazag broke through all three gates pretty soon, then everything started going well for me, i won some fights when i rly shouldn't have (ambushes with enemy reinforcements, heavily outnumbered)
