*Selecting any Settlement and recruiting them in the Lord Recruit tab
== Description ==
Each of the great cities of Grand Cathay is governed by a Lord Magistrate in the name of the Dragon Emperor. These are canny men and women, as adept at navigating the politics of the empire as they are directing troops in battle. As skilled strategists, Lord Magistrates can often dictate the pace of battle even before it begins; catching their enemies flatfooted with the rapid mobilisation of their troops. Lord Magistrates lead from the back of the army, using fans, banners and coloured smoke to orchestrate many units of their army.

The Lord Magistrate was given a significant buff during Update 4.0, such that he now has a decent shout at being Cathay's best generic general. He can now take all three of his tactical buffs (Inspired Defense, Assault, and Marksmanship) at the same time, offering superlative support to his army without the need for magic. He also now has a unique line for his Sky Lantern mount which strengthens it a lot, and if that line is finished he can act as both a Ying and Yang unit, giving you coverage for those tricky wide and deep areas. 
He remains quite a unique lord in that he's neither a caster nor a great fighter, and needs to be protected - which can be tricky when he's floating where every winged and ranged unit can see him. But he has the tools to give himself that protection now, and not being reliant on magic leaves more wind for your heroes. Overall he suits the standard defensive profile of a Cathay army.

*The Lord Magistrate's voice actor may have been the same voice actor who acted in Total War: Shogun 2, with his infamous line "Shameful Display".
