Cathayan Dragon Ship

Forged in Fire

"Forged in the foundries of Grand Cathay and blessed by the Emperor's astrologers, the Dragon Ship soars through the skies like a storm given form. Its fire cannons mimic the breath of celestial dragons, raining destruction on those who defy the empire. As both a weapon of war and a symbol of Cathay’s mastery over the elements, these airborne leviathans embody the balance between fire and wind, magic and steel. Their arrival on the battlefield heralds certain doom—an unstoppable force blazing across the heavens."


Introduction

The Dragon Ship is a majestic airborne warship, its design favoring a massive balloon-like hull that prioritizes stability and power over sleek elegance. Enclosed gun decks bristle with firework cannons and flame-throwers, while bomb racks dangle beneath the vessel, ready to unleash destruction from above. Crewed by sharpshooters, engineers, and fire-mages, the Dragon Ship is a flying fortress that dominates both the skies and the battlefield. Its imposing bulk and relentless firepower make it a symbol of Cathay’s technological prowess and an unstoppable force in warfare.

The Dragon Ship is a Tier 5 flying warship added to Grand Cathay’s roster, serving as a devastating endgame unit. This airborne leviathan features a massive balloon hull, packed with cannons, sharpshooters, and bomb racks. Its overwhelming firepower ensures dominance over both land and air. This unit benefits from skills and research that affect Sky Junks, making it seamlessly integrate into Cathay’s unit roster.

A new building chain in major settlements increases the unit cap by one, while the unique Nan-Gau landmark allows the recruitment of the Heart of the Red Dragon, a legendary Regiment of Renown version.
