WHOA Now this, this is AWESOME! Nice work!

@"a valid playstyle" sadly did not help at all

if anyone isnt having smoke show up put your fog settings to max

Gods, the look of this unit could also be a kind of medium militia spear unit. Amazing.

Cathayan handgunners always get my upvote.

However sadly there seems to be a glitch. The muzzleflash and smoke is missing from the unit. Aside that really love the design and skills they have. Almost look like 19th century colonial troops haha

Updated to fix that range bug in Stand and Fire. That was not at all what the statline on the ability said it would do, but switching to a percentage buff seems to have fixed it. Also did some QOL improvements on the Stakes, both giving more range to the deployment ability, and on the stake unit itself, and also added a new head variant to the main unit.

Still a very nice flavor option cause I adore hybrid units. Your work on guns of the empire is sublime.

Dude lmao the stand and fire is absolutely op and like the comentor below it gives them insane range way more that the amount stated. It melt ANYTHING

when i put them in the mode that makes them fire faster and extends their range they get 3000+ range and i can't understand why. (it's not an error it's literally more than 3000)

That's fair! I just enjoy gun/spear hybrid units lol thanks for responding!

I had considered it, but the Streltsi and pistol Kossars fit that role so much already I feel like it would be too redundant. I've allowed use of all my bayonet infantry assets if somebody wanted to try that though.

Could you make/do you have plans to make an equivalent unit for Kislev? Love your work!

The skeletons are not inherently compatible, but it is not too bad a process to rig them. The main thing that doesn't rig well from the Cathay skeleton to the Empire skeleton is long skirts.

How hard would it be to rig the Jade Warrior armor to this? Is that compatible with this skeleton?

this unit feels really good in lategame with all tech, nice mod

They should come from the same place as Iron Hail Gunners, but I also only checked with Miao Ying's campaign.

Hello,where can I find them in the game, I don't see them anywhere

No promises of more Cathay content any time soon unfortunately. I've been trying to wrap up some 80% done mods that have been languishing since as long as early 2023. I hesitate to do much with Cathay until they've gotten at least a couple DLCs to flesh them out. This is a unit type I'm pretty confident CA wouldn't be making though. If I were to do anything more with them, first priority would be Extra Variants additions.

oooooo snek's doing some cathay shit. Can't wait for more

cqant wait for a whole array of Sieges-artillery-Bows hopefully for cathay <3

Oh ? Guns of Cathay next?

Cool unit! :)
