It's a great mod, thank you for your efforts. I have increased the weapon damage to play on Chaos and it makes for epic battles, AI teammates are of great help now. The downside is that Lu Bu is a damn cheater, I mean he spams his EX attack and is nearly unkillable (I don't know if it's because I'm playing a generic officer). I had to use distance attacks to keep him at bay... Or send two high morale teammates to kill him offscreen.

This is mod better than the extreme one by the way, thanks again.

Thanks for review about Lu Bu. Currently he spams Rage combo when player try to hit in front of him. I am working on new version with reworked Lu Bu too.

Awesome. It's hard to edit though, couldn't grasp anything about the moveset in the editor. This is truly a worthy contribution to the community. Once again, thank you for your efforts.

Another PRO and CON:

PRO: Awesome mod allows AI teammates to capture enemy Main Camp and weaken the enemy commander for you to give the killing blow.

CON: Archer Ambush can be counterproductive against Musou Officers/CAWs, as they will spam Musou attacks when getting them into a 'state of panic'. Generic officers get shellshocked, then don't react to anything until the panic state ends.

Are there any mods that fix the real problem, the commander ai? I would love it if enemy kingdoms EVER attacked, even when being completely destroyed

I'm using the extreme mod now, but indeed, enemy officers, but also bandit leaders and merchants will toss you a couple of metres away sometimes.
But can you install this over the extreme mod or do you need to have a vanilla version?

It can be installed over the Extreme mod. It will overwrite it. Also yes this mod fixes the issue with officers knocking you meters away.

Extreme mod replaces officer's block with EX attack when my mod leave block without changes. So technically combining this mods doesn't prevent officers from EX attacks spam.
Version 2.0 on the way, it forces officers to be more aggressive with normal and charge attacks, so it will avoid EX attack spam.

When an officer with Zhou Tai weapon is on the field, the game crash for me. Don't know if this happen with other weapons, so I will test them out.

Thanks for your report. For now I'm testing second version of this mod, I think it will be available next week. So I would be glad if you continue with further reports.

I tested every movesets at least once today, and the following caused a crash: Curved sword, DW7's Glove, DW7's Rapier.
Interestingly, a CAW with the curved sword, but with no normal Zhou Tai musou, yet do have his rage doesn't cause any problems. The other weapons also work alright before they seemingly activate their rage musou.

Here is my guess. I notice that when the CAWs use a rage musou that is different from their favorite weapon, the animation is played with their favorite weapon (ex. Zhuge Dan Musou is played with Formation Rod). The issue may have something to do with the game attempting to play their rage Musou animation with a very incompatible weapon.
Here are the cases:
Curved sword (a different one)-Xiahou Yuan
Glove-Sun Ce
Rapier- Yuan Shao (Extension Blade)

The first two make sense, but the last one doesn't feel like it should have an issue. Well, this is all just a theory.

I think my theory is correct. I changed the Curved sword officer rage Musou to Zhou Tai, and they no longer cause a crash. Not super good news, though, because that means the customization is a little bit restricted.
