Some Chinese mods that are from AUH's timeline

**IGdood** · July 07, 2014, 12:04 PM

Hi all,

Everybody is probably losing hope in AUH's release (or maybe not), but as I said recently AUH and DOMOD are collaborating and sharing assets as they both have a common goal.

This is unconfirmed, but to play these mods you have to change your computer's System Locale into 'Chinese PRC (Simplified). Something to do with the unicode on Chinese mods.

1. Shaoding

Pretty much a mod in progress that is the main goal for AUH and DOMOD. The Song is divided into 4 separate factions. Most of their immediate neighbors are more or less complete (Dali, Tibet, Jin, XiLiao [Kara-Khitan], XiXia [Tangut Empire]) Goryeo is still under construction as most Korean historical research is being devoted to the Imjin War mod, another project of DOMOD.

2. Man Jiang Hong (River of Blood)

This mod feels more like Eras: Total Conquest in that it spans from Great Britain to Japan. The factions are more or less complete in terms of unit design though balance isn't complete and many placeholders are used. Content seems to be drawn from a lot of different mods from both Western and Eastern modders. Still fun to watch Crusaders fight Samurai. Each province has a unique "mercenary" unit. Time period seems to be from 1200s-1500s

Warning: Both mods are in Simplified Chinese. If you know your M2 UI interface well then you shouldn't really have a problem playing.

He's talking about AUH timeline, so, no, Tang, Ming and any other don't apply.

So, are they updating the Song unit models? The Tibetan units are rather nice, but they don't fit well with the others. I'd prefer if they kept the AUH Tibetan units.

Also, do you know why did they separate the Song in those factions? Are they representing the 4 capitals or something else I did not get?

The Song unit models seem more or less set in stone at the moment. I believe the AUH models for the cataphract Tibetan cavalry have been kept. While they are sharing assets and information they will still release their mods independently due to slightly differing goals.

AUH is like Europa Barbarorum while DOMOD's Shaoding will be like...Rome Total Realism/Roma Surrectum I guess?

The Song were separated into 4 factions to better represent the different army units that each border had. The border army/faction facing the Jin have better cavalry units since they were closer to the North whereas another border army/region would have better infantry but access to only the most basic of militia cavalry (guys with light armor, a sword, maybe a shield, and a hat).

That's pretty cool, is there an english version? If not, I guess I'll start learning chinese sooner than expected.

When the mods are more complete I will translate them myself... Assuming school doesn't kill me first

**IGdood** · October 04, 2014, 08:05 AM

Patch for Shaoding released today updating it to Version 0.82.

Adds/updates some siege weapon models and polishes up the mod with some balance changes as well as removing some things from vanilla M2.
Also adds in a really neat main menu.

Hmm, I'm sure the main menu was already included in 0.8.

**xHolyCrusader** · October 04, 2014, 08:21 AM

Not sure, I just thought it got animated in the current patch

No problem. Apologies first off; I don't mean to put a non-AUH mod in this forum, but when I go on vacation I'll begin translating DOMOD's mods and I'll create my own thread in the M2 Modding Threads.

Their Imjin War mod is going to be released later this month, but I don't go on vacation until December... I guess I can do one unit entry a day after studies or at least translate some of the basics first.

I think it's within the insterests of AUH fans to know how the assets are being used in Shaoxing and how they can "preview" them there. It's like in the IB subforum, where they allow a thread to debate Attila: Total War even though there's a forum for that.

~~/~/~/~~/~/~~

EDIT: I see they changed Menggu startpos to include Tartar, Onghirat, Giyan, Onghut and Kelly (not really sure this one name's right), but they left Taichiud and Kerait out. I'm quite sure that's not accurate.

I think they should split them into:
-Khamag
-Kereyid
-Kirghiz
-Oirat
-Buryat
-Merkid
-Tatar
-Naiman
If you unify them all you form the Menggu Khanlig.
That's totally doable because there are several empty faction slots.
Also, the Kingdom of Qocho (Uyghur) should be be included as a vassal to the XiLiao.

~/~/~/~/~/~~~/~~~/~~
I see they changed the spearmen animations for the Song factions. The animations themselves look cool, but it doesn't look like they are fighting with spears. Other factions seem unaltered.

Taichiud is already included,Kerait is maybe the Kelly in the map?
We plan to add Uyghur and Nhà Hậu Lý in the future

Hi

Late reply but I will try to periodically post about the factions in Shaoding as well as their rosters.

This one is about the Song "Liang Huai" or Huai River Border Army. They were specialized in fighting Jin Dynasty troops.

Strength: Balanced roster, excellent ranged units.
Weakness: Units have high upkeep, difficult campaign map starting position

**IGdood** · January 21, 2015, 11:46 AM

And now for another roster

Song JingHu Border Army stationed at an area slightly to the south of Henan.

Strength: Balanced roster, excellent heavy cavalry choices
Weakness: Strong enemies at the beginning of the campaign, unit upkeep high.

**IGdood** · January 21, 2015, 03:57 PM

Song Xichuan Border Army

Interestingly, Xichuan is an old name for what is now Sichuan (or Szechwan).

Strength: Strong, hardy heavy infantry and mountain fighters.
Weakness: Strong enemies at the beginning of the campaign, roster lacks cavalry.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Their roster is unique in that they lack militia troops. The units they share with the other Song armies are the siege and gunpowder units.

**IGdood** · January 21, 2015, 07:08 PM

And the last of the Song factions, this is the Song Imperial Court.

Strength: Balanced roster, powerful economy
Weakness: Units have extremely high upkeep but below average fighting ability

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The Song Imperial Court roster shares the militia and siege units from the other rosters but all of its regular troops are Imperial.

Also added a missing Huai Army Pikemen picture to the Huai Army post.

There is none.

And weren't you banned?

This roster is that of the Jin Dynasty

Strength: Strong heavy infantry and cavalry, has units capable of fighting in the woods.
Weakness: Poor starting territories, elites are difficult to replenish.
