Yuan Shao Can Recruit Xiongnu Cavalry & Cataphracts (FIX for Patch 1.7.0 and Patch 1.7.1)

Description
TL;DR: This mod fixes the bug that Yuan Shao's faction is unable to recruit the Xiongnu Cavalry and Xiongnu Cataphract units, which CA intended for him to be able to use but didn't implement one permission, preventing him from recruiting them.



With the introduction of the Xiongnu Noble Cavalry (Melee Cavalry) and the Ye Crossbowmen units, CA also gave Yuan Shao's faction the ability to hire the Xiongnu shock cavalry units, namely the Xiongnu Cavalry and the Xiongnu Cataphracts, which were formerly one of the Eight Princes faction unique unit. These units are died to the same unit permission as the new Xiongnu Noble Cavalry (any general can hire them at any level).

I was looking forward to using these units in game, but I found I wasn't able to hire them, even on vanguards. It turns out that CA forgot to do one crucial step: to include the Xiongnu Cavalry and Cataphracts in the Han Chinese military grouping.

Essentially, there are different military groupings for the subcultures: Han Chinese, Bandits, Yellow Turbans, and Eight Princes. These Xiongnu units were not allowed for Han Chinese, so Yuan Shao's faction couldn't hire them, despite all the conditions being met.

These very simple mod simply adds these Xiongnu units to the Han Chinese military grouping, so Yuan Shao can hire them as his faction unique units, just like CA initially intended for them.

This mod does not change the unit requirements originally set for Yuan Shao with regards to the Xiongnu Cavalry and the Xiongnu Cataphracts - these are the same as in vanilla. Any general, no matter what level they are, can hire these powerful Xiongnu cavalry units.

This mod should be compatible with everything.

Good explanation, thank you, I will give a try it then!

Yes. Historically, Yuan Shao formed lasting alliances with the southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan steppe tribes and often used them as auxiliary cavalry forces. The alliance was strong even after his passing, which spelled doom for the Xiongnu and Wuhuan (look up White Wolf Mountain) as they were beaten and subdued by Cao Cao in his pacification of the north.

In the game, Yuan Shao is coded to be able to access both the Xiongnu Noble Cavalry and Shock Cavalry, but due to a CA oversight the key that allows recruitment of the shock cavalry was not fixed.

@rome2 Hmm, that is strange - is SFO updated to patch 1.7.0? I don't use it personally.
rome2 10 May, 2021 @ 5:53am 
sadly, it does not work together with the SFO

@rome2 This mod should be compatible with everything :)

Thanks mate i will ad this mod to my collection :)

@Ismar Currently, this is a separate mod - it's very small and simple. I'll look into adding this mod into the 1.7.0 Bug Fix Mod, like my Yu Jin Sword Model fix.
