CHINESE TRANSLATION PATCH

MORE BALANCED VERSION PATCH HERE - FOR VANILLA TW3K
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3088121289


Should be compatible with most mods, even the ones that edits ceo like MTU, TUP, Wu King, etc. EXCEPT for the Eight Princes campaign because Wukong is using a background trait from that DLC.



This mod is NOT affiliated with New General Collections (NGC) and/or its creators. It only uses one of their script to spawn Wukong's unique weapon. Please do not bother the NGC team or any of its member about this mod. If there is any grievance about the mod's contents and balances, please bring them to me. Thank you



This mod introduces two new heroes: Sun Wukong, the Monkey King and Liu'Er Mihou, the Six Eared Macaque.

There will be a dilemma at the start of the campaign for you to choose between the two of them for your faction, the other one will be in the Han Empire, so it is recommended that you use another mod to either break up the Empire or lower the satisfactions of all heroes in that faction, so they can leave to join someone else more relevant.

Most of you might be familiar with the Monkey King through Dragon Ball and Black myth Wukong. He is one of the most well-known mythological figure in South-East Asia and his character and story influence more modern day concepts and tropes than you probably ever realized.

The Six Eared Macaque is one of Wukong's nemesis who was able to imitate the Monkey King to such a degree that the two of them are equal in every way, and most gods of the universe are unable to tell them apart







The Monkeys' skill tree and playstyle are completely different from the regular TW3K heroes. There are three groups of skills called "paths". Each path have their own themes, effects, pros and cons.


No, it's not supposed to be balanced, use it in a non-serious campaign.
If you want them to function similar to a vanilla hero, see the official balance patch above


THE THREE PATHS ARE AS FOLLOWED:

Path of Strength - One-Man-Army type. Focuses on improving Wukong's raw individual stats, making him into the strongest hero in the game. This path will also give Wukong the most abilities in battle that allows him to fight 1 vs 1000 with ease. However, Wukong's strength can be quite frightening to your own allies, so the stronger Wukong gets, the lower your army's morale will be. Going down this path means that Wukong can only rely on his own strength and nothing else

Skill nodes - Shi Hou (Stone Monkey) --> Taoist Sage --> Enemy of the Gods --> Havoc in Heaven

Pros - large stat boosts to Wukong (damage, health, armor, etc.), lots of new powerful abilities,

Cons - reduce own army morale, reduce satisfaction for everyone in the same army as Wukong




Path of Leadership - Army General type. Focuses on improving Wukong's leadership abilities. Giving him abilities to support his allies. The effects from this path also cancels out the morale negative effect from the Path of Strength. However, the Monkey King is a diva and will settle for nothing less than the highest title and salary. His army upkeeps will become higher and higher the more authoritative he becomes. As the Monkey King gains more influence, so does his ambitions. This path has the highest chance of Wukong suddenly turning on you at the worst moment.

Skill nodes - Mei Houwang (Handsome Monkey King) --> Defies Death --> Bimawen (Head of the Heavenly Stables) --> Qitian Dasheng (Great Sage, Heaven's Equal)

Pros - boost army morale, reduce recruitment cost, increase campaign movement range. Abilities focuses more on debuff and support rather than raw damage and destruction

Cons - massively increase Wukong's army upkeep, increase Wukong desires for higher office




Path of Humility - General Support type. Focuses on cancelling negative effects from the other two paths as well as other powerful faction/province-wide benefits. While this path generally does not provide the Monkey King with more tools for battles, it can be instrumental in your attempt to keep the Monkey King happy. Keep in mind that as Wukong embraces Buddhism, he will follow their tenets as much as possible, lowering your post-battle loots to almost nothing and refuses to kill or capture enemies that can no longer fight.

Skill nodes - 500 Years Under a Mountain --> Magical Headband --> Xingzhe (Ascetic Monk) --> Journey to the West (rolls credits!)

Pros - lots of positive effects (raise satisfaction, reduce upkeep, army morale boost, etc.). Helps reduce all the negative effects from the other two paths.

Cons - not much improvement for Wukong combat-wise. Reduce post-battle loot and enemy capture rate. Wukong will also learn "Mercy", an ability that will prevent your army from killing routing enemies.

Tang Sanzang will also start to accompany Wukong in battles.
Sanzang is extremely fragile and is no good in melee. If he is slain in battle, a large debuff will be placed on your army, making the battle almost unwinnable. When taking the Path of Humility, Wukong must learn to defend his new master first at all cost.


After taking at least 2/3 final skill node on 2/3 paths, a final skill node will be unlockable: Dòu-zhànshèng-fó (Victorious Fighting Buddha).


ABILITIES

Sun Wukong comes with his own arsenal of unique abilities, inspired from the original novel. There are 16 new abilities in total, spread across the three paths, although most of them are on the Path of Strength.

-STRENGTH-
Crushing Blow - area attack, wide range, powerful strike with his staff. Can damage allies however
Stone Skin - Damage resist buff for tanking
Cloud Walker - passive speed buff when Wukong is dismounted. Monkey King does not need a horse to go fast
Golden Gaze - Visibility buff
Peach of Immortality - Self heal
Staff Rain - Area bombardment
Disguise - Hidden/stalk/snipe. Also debuff self so you can challenge NPCs to duels with Wukong and then deactivate the ability. Otherwise, no one will duel him
Great Ape - "transform" Wukong into his Great Ape giant monster form for 120 seconds

-LEADERSHIP-
Clones - summon clones of himself. These clones are much weaker than the original but they can still put up a decent fight. This allows Wukong to essentially not have an army
Afterimage Strike - melee attack that can only be done alongside the clones. Which one is the real Monkey King?
Ruyi Jingu Bang - splash attack range multiplier. The longer Wukong fights, the longer his staff becomes.
Havoc in Heaven - Wide area debuff
Circle of Demon Repellent - Area debuff

-HUMILITY-
Protect the Weaks - area buff and heal non-hero units
Mercy - Debuff wavering enemies' morale to make them route but also make them invincible. Wukong at this stage will no longer kill those who can't fight anymore
Tang Sanzang - summon Tang Sanzang onto the battlefield. If he dies, the battle is almost unwinnable. This is a way to "balance" late-game Wukong, as you now have to find ways to protect Sanzang in battles, either with Wukong himself or with other human allies. It's especially difficult if you're ambushed. Truly the most accurate simulation of a Journey to the West chapter!
