I gave a good go at trying to figure out what to do. I found a script lua related to Lu Bu's objective targets in the Data pack. And tables in the database referring to "ceo nodes and thresholds" all correlating to Lu Bu's targets. However when editing the database tables for some reason DAVE could not extract those specific tables to working data (it could extract others). It's seems very script related and from what I've read, modding scripts is notoriously challenging with Total War games.

Removing her from the list of objectives is possible for sure. But since I only modded 3K very briefly I am not sure what to edit exactly. Try searching on totalearcenter forums.

I see. She's only around 4 years old at the Start of A World Betrayed. Thanks for your help.

I did not play A World Betrayed. If she is already a general by the start of the campaign, then she should be there unless defeated. One way to make her spawn is to disable the mod forbine turn and wait if the ai recruits her. The easiest way.

Love the mod, I know you stopped updating it, however Lu Bu's campaign in A World Betrayed dlc Sun Ren is one of his targets he needs to defeat in combat for a neat set bonus for beating the Sun children for 10% campaign movement bonus. Just asking would you know of a way to "remove" Sun Ren from his list or maybe just spawn her in or a clone of her, to battle her once? thx for your hard work.

Seems to work a bit better now, I cleared some mods that may or may not have caused problems <_<

But I will keep my eyes open. Some ladies are still not undeployable, but many newcomers are

Should be compatible. But I never tried.

Seeing as this is the lite version, I assume that is entirely script based?
Is there anything you recall that this mod was not compatiable with?
MTU? Puzzle?

No idea. I actually had a friend write the script for me, since I couldn't make it work properly myself. I remember there being a table containing all the legendary characters and a flag "deployable" - true/false. It's somewhere in the db. You can try fiddling with that.

Any clue what the issue could be?

Oh yeah. I totally forgot that I actually writen it into the description. XD
Thanks for the kind words. :)

Yeah, no I figured. I just wanted to add that buddy!
I will still use this mod. Sad to see you leave.

I am sorry, Guvenoren, but I have abandoned this game alltogether. I won't be updating any of my mods in the near or far future. Feel free to use my files and edit it to fit your preference though.

I have noticed an issue. If you "search for legendary characters" and they happen to be female, they will be recruitable.

Great historical mod! thank you.

By preexisting I mean, you just create a new army and then as you add more retinues, you can find female generals that are in the candidate section.
Could this becaused by your entries in the templates tables are ticked on "deployable"?

I am not sure what could be causing it. To edit the prexisting armies in any way one needs to edit the startpos. I might take a look at it later this year. Sadly I have too littl time lately.

I noticed that it is possible to deploy females with this mod on when recruiting new generals in a preexisting army. I think it's when female generals are in the "candidates" section. Is it possible to change that?

Ahh, I figured that was it. Cheers! Ty!

@ Guvenoren.
OK so I messed with the files a bit. Try keeping only the script and the db tables that have "character_generation" in the name. Should work.

Ah, I dig. I will make sure to only keep the script then :)
I want some historical immersion, so I figured that keeping the women to the time period feels immersive. Also gives the AI and myself more reason to utilize secondary retinues.

No problem.
If only thing you desire is the disabling of female generals, you only need to keep the script that is in the mod. ;)
All the rest is cosmetic. The db files only distribute the images to the characters.

Ahh, ok I thought he presented a different issue :) No worries then!
I removed the UI files and the "campaign_character_art_sets_tables" and "campaign_character_arts_tables". Should I restore the the db files I removed?

- It should work if you remove the UI files.
- The sole purpose of this mod is for female characters to not appear in game as generals. I already explained how you can recruit certain characters, if you want them. I believe you were already asking this.

@vavrinko(SK) Also, what was the issue Salp75 has? You can't recruit female characters now?

Question, since i use other mods to alter portraits for females, if I remove the UI and "character arts" entries, it will fix the issue?

Thanks!

I doubt it would help. You have to turn off the mod before she joins your faction. As soon as she joins, recruit, then restart the game and turn on the mod again. I know it is complicated, but alas, 'tis only way :/

I can't recruit Sun Ren. I had her married into my faction. turned off the mod for a turn but still can't. would a sun ren arrives to player faction mod make it work or something.

Thanks for the heads up. I updated the description. ;)

I use this with WDG. Not noticed any issues.

This version does not. Actually even the full version does not affect Zheng Jiang and Lu Zheng as they both are recorded in the historical documents. Although I haven't fully tested the mod with Zheng Jiang's faction.
Basically this mod affects all the female characters that join the faction, or come of age after the start of the campaign. In full version I also edited all the starting female characters to be undeployable (with the expection of faction leaders).

I gotcha, so this also affects Zheng Jiang and her comrade?

@ Guvenoren
Thanks for the heads up. For me the mod works as intended. The lite version does not make any changes to startpos characters, so the woman in 8princes, that is there from the start, is not affected and can be recruited. That is the only difference between this and the "full" version.

I am affraid there is no way to make an exception for any character as the script affects characters based on their sex. If you want to recruit Lu Ji, I would recommend you the same thing I recommended to Green Raven. Disable the mod one turn before she comes of age, pass the turn, recruit her, then enable the mod again. 'Tis the easiest way.

If you are using the full version, and the woman in Sima Jiong campaign IS recruited when you click "recruit", please notify me.

it doesn't seem to work on 8princes. I checked as Sima Jiong and one of the first characters you can recruit from the pool is a female. She can be deployed.

Is there a way to make an exception for Lu Ji? She's undeployable and this is LITE version

If she is already in your family tree, disable the mod before she comes of age, recruit her and then enable the mod again. I am affraid I haven't played 3K that much to be 100% sure. However it worked for recruiting Boudica in my Rome 2 mod of a same kind.
Hope it helped. ;)

Got it.
Thanks!

@Green Raven
Unfortunately it does as she is a woman. If you want to recruit her as general you might want to use the LITE version of this mod. In that version all starting characters are recruitable, no matter their sex.

Does this affect Sun Ren?

Thanks for heads up. Nice to know it works as intended. :)

I just got it to work with radious and Wu, thanks for this. Had to put it at the top of the order and start a new game but I'll take it.

Could not stand half the characters running around in the map as female generals. What was CA thinking?

@SniperTrack
Thanks for the kind words. And the heads up :)

I've been waiting for this exact thing. Thanks.
To let people know, I'm only using MTU, it's event add on and this. This mod doesn't seem to work with any of my save games but does work with new campaign. Just heads up.

@Guvenoren
- Save game compatible.
- The difference is that this version migh be compatible with mods like MTU or Radious (Should. I do not play with those mods, so idk).

@BFDCYY
- Yes, all females are like empress He.

@DaolordSpear09
- I think it might be compatible with base WDG. Female only WDG addon = definitely not.

Save game compatible as well?

So, what is the difference really between this and the other version? What is the consequence of not being able to alter startpos characters?

It mean all femalse just like empress He?

This one is not compatible with base WDG or the female only WDG addon?
