Ji Ling Joins Yuan Shu (190 & 182 Start Dates)

Yuan Shu is one of the factions that lacked any unique characters at all until Ji Ling was given a portrait and model in Patch 1.5.0. However, he only starts with Yuan Shu in the 194 A World Betrayed start date, and while he has fondness for Yuan Shu in the 190 start date, most players can't hire him if he shows up because they don't have enough Legitimacy to spend. I felt it was a shame that you couldn't get your faction's only historical unique character in the 190 start date. Additionally, the AI Yuan Shu faction almost never hires Ji Ling.

This mod aims to spice up Yuan Shu's faction up by having Ji Ling join Yuan Shu in the 190 and 182 campaigns BY DIFFERENT MECHANISMS (read below for details).


190 Rise of the Warlords Campaign:
Ji Ling will start with Yuan Shu in the 190 Rise of the Warlords campaign. This is accomplished with a simple lua script: in the vanilla game, Ji Ling is in the Han Empire's recruitment pool in the 190 start. The script I wrote removes Ji Ling from the game, and then recreates him in Yuan Shu's faction. To prevent too much desire for higher court position, I set him to only spawn at rank 2, so you get to pick a skill on turn 1. This also helps him not immediately leave the AI Yuan Shu faction, which would violate the purpose of the mod.

182 Mandate of Heaven Campaign:
Additionally, I've created a new event for the 182 Mandate of Heaven campaign where Ji Ling will have a chance to join you after 30 in-game turns. Note that unlike in the 190 start, the event will only trigger if you are playing as Yuan Shu: if you are playing any other faction, the event will not fire and he will not necessarily go to Yuan Shu. This is to prevent him from suddenly disappearing from the player's faction.


Lastly, I added him onto the faction selection screen in both the 190 and 194 start dates to reflect that Yuan Shu has the unique character Ji Ling at the start from the frontend level.

This mod does not edit startpos or ceo data, so should be compatible with everything.
