Cathayan Dragon Ship

Description
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.

Content

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.

Special thanks
Moloch for the model!
All is Dust and BasedMemes for the animations!
_D3rpyN3wb_ for fixing the bomb. It needed to be a static projectile!
Without those four this mod would not have been possible!

Yes! I've been wanting something like this for a long time!
It annoyed me that Cathay can be seen using Airships on the campaign map, but dwarves are the ONLY ones that got a unit for it!

This is such a cool concept! Love it! The only thing bothering me is the rowdy shouting around the ship, it doesn't really fit in well with the disciplined cathay troops. Especially since it's all male voices when there's mostly women on board lol

But it looks like the shouting is tied to the animation of the ship? I played around in rpfm and none of the audio tables seem to affect them.

Can you make an uncapped version? some campaigns i never even get tier 5 let alone multiple?

I can only give you 9 out of 5 and say to others, the range isn't broken. The ship has various methods of attack, from cannons to crane gunners to bombs. I just tested this and it seems to be working perfectly fine.
