[三国上] Rise of Three Kingdoms - Submod Preview

[Fahnat]

Finally i have finished Version 5.6.500 (Wu Hu) Submod for Rise of Three Kingdoms!

This project was supposed to be finished a LONG time ago, but i will partially blame Seether for the delay, since whenever i was near finishing he uploaded a new update with such awesome changes that i had to redo the submod to be compatible with it! I have been playing with this mod since version 1.0 and was astounded with it's features, since the setting is one of my favorites. I have helped in minor changes through out the upcoming versions, and my major contribution to ROTK was in adding Korea to the mod. Lately ideas about what to apply in the mod have been coming into my mind, and so the idea of this submod came to be, where i focus on the barbarians of the game. I will put a full list of changes below but i want to spotlight the major ones for you to see.

First major feature is the addition of two new regions in the campaign map, Zhangye Commandery, which is northwest of Wuwei, and Wuyuan Commandery which is the new capital of the Xianbei faction, with Yunzhong Commandery being set further east as a rebel settlement.

Another change was in the Xianbei faction generals, where a new group of characters have been added to the faction, while the previous generals where made into rebel generals, so to try and accurately portray the division amongst the Xianbei Confederacy that existed at the time, and if you capture certain settlements, those rebel Xianbei separatists will start to follow you.

The rebel barbarian generals have been given further detailed with many new biographies and the addition of several more new generals into both 190 and 194 campaigns.
I have an idea of a future update on this submod where the alternate Han faction is changed to a Xiongnu faction, but that is quite above my skill level to implement and so only with Seether's aid that can be done, where a year or two ago he actually was helping me in making that, but i had to stop the work at the time and so it came to nothing.

The Version 5.6.500 (Wu Hu) Update can be downloaded here

To successfully install the submod you must overwrite the rotk folder and then delete the map.rwm file inside the three data folders in "data\world\maps\base" "data190\world\maps\base" and "data194\world\maps\base"
