The Claws of the White Tiger
Bhashiva's published starting position is the Vale of Titans in the Bone Road province, with the Ogre Kingdoms' Blood Guzzlers as her opening enemy. Her mercenary faction begins west of Cathay in the Mountains of Mourn.
That setting makes the first territorial base a practical concern: establish recruitment and a defensible route before sending the main army after a distant objective.
The Tiger Court
Offer Relics to the Tiger Court to develop its strategic pillars. Their themes are allied cooperation, ambush and territorial awareness, or faster mobilisation. Choose the direction that supports the wars you intend to fight.
A court choice and an army plan should reinforce each other. Before pursuing the next Relic, check what forces must remain to hold the territory already taken.
Iron Favour and Cathayan recruitment
The Armies of Shang-Yang system earns Iron Favour through service to Zhao Ming and caravan journeys. Favour develops Cathayan recruitment access and capacity, and buys Insignias that specialise those troops. Tiger Warrior recruitment and traditional Cathayan recruitment follow different building arrangements.
Plan around the units your faction can currently recruit. A Cathay army template can call for troops that Bhashiva has yet to unlock; inspect her recruitment buildings and support panel before committing to it.
Pick the opening, then reposition
Bhashiva attacks vulnerable infantry and isolated characters. Heaven's Gate lets her teleport into an opening or escape pressure. Use that mobility to choose an engagement, then reassess when reinforcements arrive.
Keep the rest of the force working while she moves. Her Tiger Warriors favour movement and ambush; the standard Cathayan infantry and artillery you bring need space and protection.
