So... Cathay DLC when?
And will it cost another 25 bucks for two Lords with 3 additional units or... ?

Where are the other Celestial Dragons?

I'm still salty I guess : /

You want new DLC because you want new dragon LLs and units for Cathay

I want new FLC for Cathay because i want dedicated melee hero (celestial dragon guard captain?) with training and some other type of hero with replenishment and another lore of magic (jade-blooded sorcerer?)

We are not the same

You are salty enough to completely ignore CAs DLC practice.

If we get a "Cathay DLC", it will be a double race DLC and 2 LLs, with upgrades for both factions respectively. The price should also be lower than a full race pack DLC.

But I would support your issue because that's really needed. And a shame they haven't still delivered.

I guess we will see Thanquol before Cathay ever recieve any love ^^

I'm playing that game since it released and I'm playing it a lot. I know their DLC practice, however Evildoorfs-DLC was hilariously overpriced for a faction that was already modded in AND is quite a copy paste of this work, other factions's uNiQuE mechanics and a real shame in my eyes - and I'm a fanboy.

The double race DLC upgrade would mean a "destruction" force will get a Legendary Lord. So... a Chaos faction? I hope not!

Thanquol? Dude I were already surprised that he wasnt lord in TW:WH2. CA does somehing very wacky with their choices and even if GW is pulling the strings it feels weird. If it were up to me I would have all of them arrested.

Willing to bet the dedicated melee hero will be a Monkey of some kind. Kinda hoping we some Monk-themed Yin/Yang Melee Caster hero though. Dragon-Blooded Monk maybe?

If I remember correctly there is mention of Pyromancers (Fire) and yes, Jade-Blooded Sorcerers (Life). Hopefully we'll see the Alchemist, Astromancer, and those two all show up in the same shared caster tree, or maybe they'll give the Alchemist skills to better differentiate it from the Astromancer as your "caster" hero.

Tzeentch v.s. Cathay Lord Pack, with The Changeling and Monkey King, is the most likely Late Summer DLC. Li Dao the Fire Dragon FLC?

Kislev v.s. Khorne is most likely to be the Winter DLC this year. Probably won't be until next Spring we see another 4 Lord Pack. The Golden Knight or Skulltaker FLC?

May you be right cuz that would do just great

I don't think the Monkey King is the next Lord for Cathay. More likely the Jade Dragon or the Fire Dragon imo.

What are you talking about?
"Li Dao: The Fire Dragon (master of the burning winds and lord of the phoenix) - Male Ruler of the South, described as bitter that Miao Ying gets all the attention for defending the north when he has the challenging and thankless task of protecting the empire from Ind and Kuresh. Also has to deal with the Monkey King the most out of all the Dragon Siblings, who basically constantly trolls him from Warhammer Nepal. Being stuck as the second best and second favourite behind Miao Ying whilst constantly getting dunked on by some overgrown furry has left him with some unresolved issues. How original to make the fire-themed character a hothead (Even though that is literally the canon effect the Wind of Fire tends to channel in its users). According to an Andy Hall interview, he and the Jade Dragon teamed up to stop Ku'Gath from paying Cathay a little visit."

"Monkey King: While not one of the official rulers of Cathay, the (currently unnamed) Monkey King rules over the Mountains of Heaven and the Monkey Warriors, the second largest population in Cathay. During the Time of Darkness and Disharmony, he took over the country while the Dragon Emperor was away and his kids were fighting, installing a Clan Eshin Warlord as an advisor. This pissed off the Dragon Kids for obvious reasons, and they unified against him and knocked him back to the Mountains when dad came home. Understandably, the Dragons all hate his guts and the only reason they haven't exterminated him and the rest of his furries is because it would weaken their forces against other, bigger threats to the south.

The Monkey King does help defend Southern Cathay alongside Li Dao, and by that I mean he annoys the ♥♥♥♥ out of him, though it is implied his warriors also serve as mercenaries for others willing to pay for them. It is also unknown if he and his monkey warrior count as servants of chaos like all beastman, that or the fact it has four arms just like that monkey statue from Vampire Slayer."

Oh now I got you. You mean both existing LL are Storm+Jade / Metal+Fire combined ^^
[L9] Rhinopotamus Apr 29, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Except I'm pretty sure Andy Hall stated the Monkey King is overall a force for good in Cathay, even if he's a bit mischievous and rebellious at times. Li Dao actually fights side-by-side with him pretty frequently.

Also... there are numerous hints in the game toward The Changeling and the Monkey King having a rivalry; the easiest missing units for Cathay are the Monkey Warriors. Anything that could go to Li Dao could go to Yin-Yin who is way more likely to be a DLC character then the Jade Dragon; who is really the least unique from what we know.

Decent chance we get both together. In WH2 the standard was to release a free lord alongside every lord pack DLC. Monkey King DLC + Li Dao FLC would be great!

Imagine having a good melee lord instead of burrr dragon lord.

While Monkey King would be nice, I'd prefer a skilled mortal. Less fantastical; more realistic.
A man or woman to really grind in with the Jade Warriors.

All future DLC will be Skaven and ratmen derivatives
