[INV] Azrill 24 Jun @ 2:22am 
if i get the empire rank can i recruit the imperial retinues?
MrSharkey 10 May @ 6:46am 
please could you make a version just for yuan shao as i feel it takes away from his whole uniqueness or something.
Guvenoren  [author] 2 Sep, 2024 @ 8:06am 
That I actually have no clue how to do. Sadly

Hey Guv, first thanks so much for this mod. One of my biggest problems with 3 kingdoms is the retinue system. That being said, Im a bit of a "modder" myself, in the lightest sense,

Is it possible to remove or edit out the retinue system entirely? Just hard force the game to have 1 general and 19 regular units? Surely theres like a way to modify army settings in the DB to make 1 general able ot recruit 20 units, of any color, and lock the army to only 1 general. I assume it would have to be done like 1 retinue recruit limit 19, but im unsure if you could force stop the recruitment of more generals. Is this possible at all? Iv been looking into it myself and im having trouble, but I cant see it being impossible considering how TW is built upon iterations of itself, the original systems should still be in place.

it's just slang for "friend or family".

What does FAM mean?
Guvenoren  [author] 22 Apr, 2024 @ 12:25am 
Gotcha fam

Hi!
Can you share the mod that make Zheng Jiang' hair change to white.
Sorry for my bad english.
LuisAlaguna92 19 Aug, 2023 @ 6:06am 
Ok, I got it now, tesekkurler
Guvenoren  [author] 18 Aug, 2023 @ 7:35am 
correct
LuisAlaguna92 18 Aug, 2023 @ 6:16am 
I mean, you enabled the Yuan Chao Captain Retinue(no hire heroes, instead hire captains) to all Han factions, right?
Guvenoren  [author] 17 Aug, 2023 @ 8:03pm 
No idea what you mean
LuisAlaguna92 15 Aug, 2023 @ 12:10pm 
This mechanic does not work for another different hero, right?
Guvenoren  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 8:44am 
@Grimskar
I have no intentions of that.

@Mr.ButterNips
I wish I could. I tried to do so if any faction declared emperor they could gain imperial retinues, but it didn't work for me.

@LuisAlaguna92
Correct. Play Yuan Shao to see how the captain hiring works.
LuisAlaguna92 6 Aug, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
So, it basically enables to hire captains instead of "heroes", right? It is not clear for me yet.
Mr.ButterNips 15 Jul, 2023 @ 12:39pm 
is there a way you can make it so yuan shao when he declares himself emperor he can gain access to the imperial captain retinues?
Grimskar 1 Jul, 2023 @ 8:27am 
Absolutely love the mod. Any chance you may reskin the captains as they go up in tier? so when we are recruiting elite or advanced retinues the captains unit looks more advanced aswell?
Nero 28 Apr, 2023 @ 10:00am 
Oh ok, thank you anyway for the great mod :)
Guvenoren  [author] 28 Apr, 2023 @ 9:03am 
It gets better the higher rank you are.
So, no plans for that.
Nero 27 Apr, 2023 @ 9:38pm 
Could you change the units that this provides? The militia units are terrible.
Guvenoren  [author] 14 Nov, 2022 @ 3:53pm 
I mean, your choice if it's lorefriendly. Regarding TROM, no clue.
LuisAlaguna92 14 Nov, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
This sounds interesting, but, is it lore friendly? compatible with TROM?
Augustus 15 Oct, 2022 @ 5:50pm 
I don't think this works, where is the recruit captain button? I'm only seeing my usual generals.
Guvenoren  [author] 25 May, 2022 @ 1:17pm 
Not that I know of, sorry.
Jade Jaguar 25 May, 2022 @ 9:57am 
@Guv
Ah! Yeah, that makes sense. Is it possible to make it so that your faction can recruit imperial captains if you reinstate the Han empire?
Guvenoren  [author] 25 May, 2022 @ 5:13am 
@Jade Jaguar Makes sense, since your faction is still considered your original faction.
DarthBaylen 25 May, 2022 @ 4:32am 
yes i think this mod is save game compatible speaking on personal gaming experience :D
Jade Jaguar 19 Mar, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
Hey!
I checked and after re-instating the Han Empire under Liu Xie I am not able to recruit imperial captains.
paxetlucis 13 Jan, 2022 @ 1:34am 
is this save game compatible?
neilios9999 28 Nov, 2021 @ 5:17am 
Can you add captain retinues to the Nanman factions as well ? Or does that change the game balance ?
Lycia Pintella 30 Oct, 2021 @ 4:59pm 
Update: I have no idea what was wrong at first, but the retinues are upgrading as I rank up now, with a notable update after the Northern Army Colonels arrive.
Lycia Pintella 16 Oct, 2021 @ 9:30am 
If anyone has any ideas lemme know. I use some other mods so it might be a conflict.
Lycia Pintella 16 Oct, 2021 @ 6:41am 
The captain retinues available don't seem to change as I rank up. odd.
Guvenoren  [author] 1 Oct, 2021 @ 10:51pm 
what

that sounds really weird.
Elden Ring 2 when? 1 Oct, 2021 @ 2:19pm 
your retinue size for the captains is so damn huge 720 units at small army size jesus
Guvenoren  [author] 19 Aug, 2021 @ 8:03am 
I would consult the "extended roster" mod by Dead Baron for that
mini_lancer 19 Aug, 2021 @ 7:25am 
Would you consider a mod to make the Mercenary building more useful? Perhaps allow recruitment of Yue units for Sun Jian/Ce at higher levels of the building?
Jade Jaguar 16 Aug, 2021 @ 5:56am 
Hey!

Is the re-instituted Han Empire(under Liu Xie) also able to field imperial captain retinues?
Guvenoren  [author] 18 Jun, 2021 @ 12:12am 
I wouldn't know sorry
Belcazzi 18 Jun, 2021 @ 12:11am 
Hi Guv ! I wanted ask : do you think it would be possible to add the captains availables as secondary commanders for custom battles ?
Guvenoren  [author] 15 Jun, 2021 @ 7:39am 
Mod updated! Thanks to being gifted the Nanman DLC, I made an update that I promised myself I would figure out the issue to.

Nanman can no longer weirdly recruit imperial retinues on the get go
Guvenoren  [author] 8 Jun, 2021 @ 3:33am 
@Sir. Drakkar Sorry, no

@Holynevil I am not sure about larger overhauls. Sorry.
Holynevil 7 Jun, 2021 @ 10:59pm 
so able to get this to work by load this after start a game already but not able to start new game with this (with radious
Sir.Drakkar 5 May, 2021 @ 11:37am 
Hi! Is there any way one can recruit and exchange units within the captains' retinues as if they were standard nobles? Wanted to ask before I downloaded the mod, sorry 'bout that...
Would be great if you could!
Guvenoren  [author] 29 Apr, 2021 @ 9:16am 
@PENGUINMAN
When I decide to get over to 3K, and if I ever get the nanman dlc, then I will take a look
Guvenoren  [author] 29 Apr, 2021 @ 9:15am 
@Mando I actually tried doing that. But didn't succeed :(
Mando 29 Apr, 2021 @ 8:58am 
This is an excellent mod!

Could you possibly look into adding the Imperial Captains for other Han factions that reach Emperor rank? I am currently playing Lu Bu and reached the 3 Emperor phase hoping to see them, but alas they weren't...

After reading the mod description again i saw why, and felt silly. But I wanted to ask regardless.

Regardless, thank you for this mod. It has really improved my game play significantly! <3
PenGuinMan 15 Apr, 2021 @ 6:37pm 
@Guvenoren yes, there's bug with nanman faction now, can you solve this bug?
Guvenoren  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 11:18pm 
sure buddy :)
