Yes, that's very possible. It's what I'm testing right now.
The only problem is, it makes the previously minor settlements better than the major settlements due to having special resources, so I think I will have to give every settlement a resource of its own.

It's possible that this mod would be better if all minor settlements were replaced with main cities.
As for the existing resource points, it would be better if they could be placed next to them (like some main cities with attached ports).

Did some testing with WU. Some buildings in "Minor" Commandaries won't go past level 3 in the building chain. Says it's missing a building with a % symbol. It otherwise works well. And no it's not because it's missing a resource, just something is blocking it from going further. And the Commandary itself is at max.

Great mod, really like it. But currently I never fight in a smalelr settlement where the AI builded buildings that improve the garrisson so I would like to ask;
If I or the AI is building a structure that improves/add units to the garrisson, does the garrisson actually increase?

No. As stated in both mod descriptions, start_pos mods are not compatible. For these changes to be implemented in any other start_pos mod, the respective mod authors would have to make an entirely separate mod themselves.

Any chance for a 190 submod? Awesome mod

@ironic this would be a great feature for 190

190 should put this into there mod

Ah, I see now. I'm not sure I can change this behaviour, based on my knowledge. But I will keep investigating.

@Mr. Tarzan
No, I mean administrator.
When the administrator governs minor settlements, "Grant independence" option does not exist.

@Arthas Do you mean via a rebellion?

@Bop They don't. I haven't edited the minor settlements in any way except adding the secondary buildings to their building slots.

@Mr. Tarzan do the minor settlements have walls? Excellent mod by the way! Made me reinstall 3K just because of it.

@Mr. Tarzan
These independent commanderies do not seem to allow the governor to become independent.

Incredible idea to make settlement management quite interesting, now just have to await compatibility support by this incredibly creative imperial court of modders to make this compatible with other mainline overhaul mods.

@Mr. Tarzan can you explain more? How does it change gameplay? Can you get this to work with the 190 mod?

Is this mod compatible with the following collection? If it is, then adding it would truly enrich the setup by including the unofficial update we’ve always deserved.

Enjoy, and feel free to join the project!
Co-op and multiplayer are fully playable with this collection:

非常棒的MOD，它把所有村庄（资源点）都变成了城市

Because the province system in nonsensical.

Why? Its great for modders to make such innovations but why make this mod?

Not sure I understand the question (using Google Translate). Just enable the mod and see if you are unsure what it does.

什么意思？把村子变成城镇？

I can't give you the full guide here. Search the internet for guides. I recommend Magnar's tutorials on YouTube.

How to edit start_pos file bro?

so awesome bro !

I hope you know that you saved me and this game. Thank you so much!

Please don't stop updating this mod. I have played this game for 3,000 hours, and this mod has made me feel the light for the first time
