[The Gathering : Heroes] is a mod that has the feature of gathering historical heroes to a 'favorite faction' according to the history. Increases the likelihood that players will encounter enemy troops of more historical, known famous/important heroes.

This mod has over 15,000 lines of LUA scripts to implement the sophisticated gathering functions that Vanilla should have done.

The heroes monitored within this mod is divided into "faction leader", "named", and "important". And a total of 374 vanilla heroes join to "faction of following hero" > "favorite faction"> "second-favorite faction"> "faction occupying place of birth".

Ex) 'Zhou Yun' -> "The faction which 'Liu Bei' belongs" > "'Liu Bei' faction" > "'Gongsun Zan' faction" > "The faction occupying Zhongshan"

TW:TK's engine adjusts the number of 'employed heroes' by calculating the power of the faction, current financial status, estimated income, and the number of occupied settlements. When forcing a hero into a faction from the outside, the AI selects and releases the surplus heroes. 'Yuan Shao' even releases/executes 'Yan Liang' and 'Wen Chou' (before the 'Fates Divided' DLC).

1. Manage recruitment pool so that named/important heroes can be hired into historical factions
   
2. AI faction's core members join in the historical faction early
   
3. Spawn as a minor in favored faction at the time of adulthood of a named hero
   
4. Vanilla(374) / TUP(50) / MTU(29) = Supports the gathering feature of a total of 453 heroes
   
5. Reduces clone generation, Increases historical hero generation
   
6. Preventing heroes stalled in Han Empire
   
7. Removes duplicate historical hero and clone with same name
   
8. Reduces AI execution possibility
   
9. Auto-setting hero family relationships
   
10. Adjust or fix vanilla events(Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Wei Yan and etc)
    
11. This mod script checks the conditions of Vanilla's unique hero joining event(No Duplication)
    
12. It is possible to reduce the defection of heroes of the AI factions. This feature needs to be configured, and when set, the AI forces become stronger (job satisfaction, salary reduction).
