Armies of Grand Cathay - Page 2

On the battlefield, Cathay’s armies stand out through their strict discipline, tight formations, and use of black powder weapons such as celestial cannons and thunder rockets. They also field warrior monks, fearsome cavalry, and strange automatons animated by ancient magic. This harmony of technology, magic, and strategy makes them a versatile force, capable of holding the line or striking precisely when the time is right. The influence of celestial dragons, who can take either human or draconic form, further enhances the effectiveness and prestige of these armies.
