Sorry for such a long comment, and I had to post it as a discussion because I just can't stop talking about this mod!

Me and my buddy have been playing around with this for a couple days, and I must say, this finally makes the 190 campaign on par with old school Koei games in terms of feeling like a chaotic world in which you are the only hope for your region and hopefully all of China. The added factions and rebalance really makes the turbulent times at the start feel much more turbulent. Instead of most of China being under a weak Han Minister unable to govern lands at all, far more warlords strike it out on their own as they should! While most of them are relatively weak, they make it truly feel like you are putting down rebellions and would-be warlords to settle your provinces as sole governor, making loose coalitions with other governors and fighting against those who ally against your cause. It's also really fun when they start to gang up on you while you are also dealing with bandits or rebellions and you don't have the resources to fight them all; it truly makes those with proper heroes shine, and those proper heroes who are leading factions of heroes shine even more!

I love the change of Huangfu Song to the more well known minister Wang Yun, though it is kind of odd to see him out there sailing around fighting battles and sometimes dying before the Diaochan plot resolves. The only major thing I would really love to see added, and it's a bit of a big ask, but it would be really neat if Lu Bu took over Chang An instead of Dong Min (who should die in the assassination event with his daddy) -- with this, Li Jue (with Gao Si) could also be added as a playable faction as vassals of Dong Zhuo governing some lands near Chang An. Then when the "Trouble in the Capital" event happens, Li Jue and Lu Bu (Dong Zhuo) declare war on each other. It would also be great if that event also triggered the "Emperor escapes," which I don't think happens in 190 or at least doesn't always trigger.

Aside from that big wish, this mod is truly great! The only issue we're having with it right now (and I have tested and confirmed it is 100% this mod that is doing it) is that Cai Mao's model on the campaign map has invisible armor -- a few generals seem to lose their portraits when they become free agents and get recruited, like we had this happen with Gan Ning after his faction was destroyed and Sun Jian recruited him for 1000g through candidate officers. Sometimes also there are baby generals without proper skills or abilities even though they are 24 or 40 or whatever. I think these may be known issues.

These are pretty minor errors and infrequent, though, so definitely worth all the awesome stuff this mod has to offer! It also plays well with most any other mod that MTU does from what I've found. We're using BARS and a ton of Havie's and Guv's mods and even that regional recruitment and buffs mod and it's all working flawlessly! Thanks so much for all the hard work you have put into making something that advanced players such as myself who have already "done it all" to have a truly rewarding campaign experience now to come back to again and again!
