[MOD] Romance of Three Kingdoms

[Yayattasa]

If you guys follow CK2 reddit you might have noticed this one. Yeah, a RTK mod has finally taken off.
Not available at Steam thanks to size limitations (+200MB), but you can grab it from moddb.com.

It's compatible with 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, and you can use an addon that uses the asian facepacks if you own them.

Basically, the mod is still missing most flags and some historical stuff, like relatives to many characters, which can make the first sucession quite uneasy. The mod is at version 0.87, version 1.0 should include all the other flags and etcetera. Imperial bureacracy system is planned, for now the Emperor is the religious head of Confucianism only.

If you are planning a Xianbei/Xiongnu/Wuhuan campaign, be warned playing as a nomad here is simply too difficult thanks to many factors.

Anyways, enjoy!

Yes, thank you for this info! I have watched the chinese tv series and was hoping to see a mod based on it on CK2 or something! Brilliant!

Howdy! I am the mod creator for the RoTK mod. I am also a veteran Rome, Medieval, Empire, and Shogun modder. I am glad that y'all are spreading the news!

I will create a thread here as soon as I get near v1. (flags, fleshed out 2nd and 3rd generations, events, and rudimentary emperor/eunuch/bureaucracy system)

For now, please feel free to try the mod and give me advice. Expect a small update within 24 hours to fix a bug identified from the paradox forums.

Really cool mod! The siege duel mechanic is great and immersive.

I have a problem with the religion symbols tough. Not sure you added the icons yet, but for me all them look wrong.

It would be really cool if your map included the Tarim Basin.

Also, I have a suggestion regarding the Emperor: maybe you could set all non-rebellious governors as tributaries to him (using current HL mechanics). That way they would still be their own thing and yet would be under the Emperor in some way.

Another suggestion regarding cultures: you could add other ethnolinguistic denominations in China proper, especially in the South. Just like the base game makes distinctions between every Turkic and Germanic group.
For example this contemporary map details some more groups:

I played the version before Conclave. Really enjoyed it. In my first game I was defeated within 5 years because my character was childless and apparently it was not a good idea to try and assassinate the governor over me.

Gonna try out the latest version.
