The mod is designed to be minimally intrusive, as I had tried to mod the content in the lightest way possible. Almost all the files, excluding the Focus Tree files, which is necessary to be replaced, are new files. Thus compatibility shouldn’t be an issue with most other kaiserreich mods that doesn’t focus on the same region. Please report bugs if you encounter any.

The mod is currently available in English and Simplified Chinese.

I welcome to suggestions on gameplay and balance improvements. I also welcome ideas on how certain focus trees should be structured and the characters included.
Many thanks to the Kaiserreich Dev Team and Kaiser Cat Cinema for the inspiration, the setting, the mod and the graphic contents. And most importantly thank you for taking a look!
