Overpriced DLC, would recommend if you love playing Grand Cathay as it brings a MUCH needed diversity in their monster roles and a pretty cool OP legendary commander that can make the lady dragon jealous of his powerful skill. Yuan Bo The Jade Dragon trades a lot of the healing for raw power, and lore wise he is a interesting character. While not necessary it does make for a nice addition for the other two factions, but particularly Grand Cathay in my humble opinion.

Without this DLC, Grand Cathay can be a bit troublesome to play in MP as your opponent goes "aha! I know exactly what army you are bringing!" as the faction is truly pushed into a defensive mold where some units are obligatory to bring overall. At least with this DLC you can surprise your opponents and break the mold, be more flexible in what you bring to battles. Makes Cathay more fun to play as a faction!
