A bit bigger than a typical hot fix, this update changes Cathay's army special rule a lot. Nearly all units now have Will of the Dragon, and it works the same as in TOW. This means that the characters that previously had it has gone down in price.
I've also revised the Yin/Yang aligned lores a bit so they follow the official lore from TWW, which was apparently discussed in some Youtube interviews. As a result, the special characters have returned to their previous magic lores.
Patch notes:
- Will of the Dragons now applies to all units with Yin/Yang: A unit with this special rule may re-roll failed Panic tests caused by friendly units breaking from combat or getting destroyed within 6" of them, or when it is fled through by a friendly unit.
- Nuku Cho’s Crossbow has Rapid Fire.
- Staff of Wu Xing costs 25 pts.
- Clockwork Compass: Once used, all Remains in Play spells within 24" of the bearer that are currently in play are automatically dispelled, and the effects of all other spells within 24" of the bearer immediately come to an end.
- Seal Of Xing Po: The bearer of this item may choose spells from both the Lore of Yin and Yang in addition to the spells from their other lore. Costs 5 pts.
- Scrolls of Astromancy cost 35 pts.

- Fixed bug with missing S value for Skylantern/Sky-junk.

- Grand Cannon has Thunderous Impact: Place the small round template with the centre where the cannon ball lands before the bounce. All models touched by the template that are not struck by the cannon ball suffer a Strength 3 Hit. Costs 150 pts.
