[For English Players] Features and Instruction
It is the first full map MOD of East Asia, and maps of Japan and Southeast Asia are being produced.

Historical map model
We have restored typical strategic locations in history, such as passes (Yumen Pass, Jiayu Pass, etc.), corridors (Hexi Corridor, etc.), uninhabited wilderness (Liaodong Marshes, etc.) and famous cities (Xiangyang City, etc.), the armies are yours to ride

Nomadic empire and celestial dynasty
In this work, for the Chinese regime, we made the mechanism of declaring emperor of china by ruling the central area and a variety of activities to interact with the military governor (Specifically refers to the Tang Dynasty military governor). Also you can experience the cultural interaction between China and “siyi”(Congratulations! you find a new historical tip. Siyi is the ancient Chinese name for the barbarians of four different directions. Including DongYi(east), XiDi(west), Nanman(south) and BeiRong(north), so you can see that dong nan xi bei means east, west, south and north,simple and fun lol) as Chinese emperors or local governor, we have added multiple interactive modes, with your action it will reproduce the great migration of medieval nationalities.

Historical figure
We restored some famous families with legendary ancestors in East Asian history, like military governors, tribal leaders and rebel leaders will all appear and create new stories.

New regime mechanism
We have created a variety of mechanisms to keep up with the political situation of the celestial dynasty , for example, with the rule-based empire was disintegrated, military governor will rose. We have also designed the mechanism for civilian officials to replace local magnate families, reappearing the power to release soldiers from a cup of wine

The most complete title system
You can customize the reign title and choose temple titles and posthumous titles(miaohao and shihao,these are different, So you have a different history tip :)lol ) according to the characteristics of the former emperor, the above titles will all be displayed in the same way as the history books are used to

Major update of regime mechanism
We abolished the division of the rule-based regime type, the military governor type and the civil official type. Changed the three types of contracts under the rule-based regime type of Minzhou(equal to the civil official type), Military Mansion(equal to the military governor), and Royal Territory(A new type that has been classified,you can make others become local kings now). Each type of contract is divided into 3-5 sub-species, with different bonus effects and characteristic title names. Switching between contracts can be achieved by granting titles, role interactions, and modifying feudal contracts. The military governor of Heshuo is hereditary(I must say that the military governor of Heshuo played a very important role in the history of the Tang Dynasty end era, and even influenced the next dynasty-Song. If you are interested, you must read some information.).Other military governors and civil officials are based on
Bureaucratic personnel transfer mechanism (According to their grades, whether they are promoted or transferred to other places). The emperor and the lord can interact with each other to change whether the contract is a military Mansion or a civil official, whether it is inherited by hereditary system (eldest son) or Bureaucratic personnel transfer mechanism (no family successor).

Wonders, units, and special building updates
More than 60 new natural wonders and cultural heritages have been added, and border towns and bargaining market towns have been added to the borders of agriculture and animal husbandry. The effects vary according to the political system. except for the Daming Palace, Tiance Mansion, Dujiangyan, (it is all the famous palace of Tang dynasty for emperor, army and Water Conservancy)etc., there are special buildings in the "Siyi" too, please everyone Have fun exploring. We really need friends who know how to model

Basic features
As shown in the https://bbs.52pcgame.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=401346&page=1&extra=#pid6 681332

Maps and Jurisprudence
We designed map based on the “Chinese historical atlas”, archaeological discoveries, and satellite topography,can realize the anduchencang, ziwuqimou, etc(These are two famous strategic stories in Chinese history,anduchencang probably says Han Xin, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, pretended to build plank roads, but sent troops from chencang city to attack Xiang Yu and conquest guanzhong(Now shaanxi province)) Beautify the coloring effect, have both strategy and beauty.
Jurisprudence is a stable area formed by the customs of mountains and rivers, not limited to the administrative divisions of one dynasty.
The original place names were revised to Tang dynasty style.

Oriental Historical Figure Library" Project
We hope to standardize the MOD character ID and make it common to all Oriental mods. Modders are welcome to participate and work together to create a general history of the East!

Characters and script
Currently, there are four scripts during 867 and 1066 are available. Please welcome to join the group to vote for the additional scripts.
Year of 1066 historical figure to be filled in, it is recommended to assign figures in the opening observation mode.
Correct the family code errors of the original version of Duke of Ganzhou, Qingtang Dongzheng and MuZheng; the origin of Xizhou Uighur is revised according to the latest research.

The War of Dynasty Change and Unification
The empire country name is automatically named according to the de jure kingdom where the capital is located, and the player can change the country name; the non-chinese ethnic group is named as the emperor with cultural naming;
The dynasty change will ask the vassals whether they are loyal, and those who refuse will get the right to claim the throne;
The Chinese regime has a reason for "unification of ‘tianxia’(means traditional area of china,called ‘tianxia’)" to declare war, The nomadic regime in Inner Asia has a reason to "conquer the four seas" to declare war, both cost very low and have no cooldown, but there is no way to declare war between the two for there reason.
The corruption debuff at the beginning of the game can be eliminated with increased control power.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism
Buddhism and Taoism declined, Confucianism revived, and Zoroastrianism of Manichaeism was introduced into the Central Plains. Confucianism can still be regarded as an organized religion because of its sacredness and worship rituals.
Buddhism increased the beliefs of Weishi Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Huayan Buddhism and Maitreya Buddhism, and Taoism increased Taipingdao, and the holy land was changed to the Central Plains. The five schools of Confucianism: Jing Confucianism that maintains scholarship, Li Confucianism that follows philosophy, Neo(新) Confucianism that tends to be pragmatic, Xin(心) Confucianism that develop of individual psychology, and the anti-yi Confucianism (from siyi, do you remember?)that extreme ethnic xenophobia.

Acculturation or Transition of Chinese and other civilizations.
From the Anshi Rebellion to the Northern Song Dynasty is a period of great ethnic exchanges and integration. "Culture" in the MOD is regarded as a subjective identity rather than a traceability division of descent, and it will keep updated with the version.
The Chinese culture group includes Hexi culture and Heshuo culture. Nanman(you must remember Siyi) represents the alpine rainforest clan, and Baiyue(well a new concept appeared, in ancient China, most people in southern China who were not under the control of the government were called Yue people,like minyue in Fujian province, Wuyue in the area of southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. Yue is also the name of an ancient kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.) represents the Austronesian clan

Functional module

Posthumous Title System
Designed by Maewaka, the Single edition is the MOD of "Temple title · Posthumous title · Reign title". The Single edition is only suitable for the original version. The Reign title can be customized and displayed in the chronology at the lower right corner. The posthumous title and Temple title are based on the characteristics and abilities of the monarch during his lifetime, Deeds to generate several options; the role interface and title history interface display conforms to the custom, namely [Dynasty] [Temple Title [Posthumous Title] [Title Level] [Family Name] [First Name].


Bureaucratic succession mechanism
Regarding the civil official system and the adoption of the titles of Bureaucratic personnel transfer mechanism(baron to duke), officials are selected and promoted according to their seniority; seniority can be obtained by managing territory, improving development and building additional buildings, and becoming heirs, cabinet ministers and attendants; Official positions can also be bought by relatives; the selection and promotion are designed according to system parameters, not event options. When promotion occurs, it will be displayed as "lost" and "usurpation".

Inner Court·and Imperial Cabinet
This system is located under the imperial court button. With different combinations, it can achieve multiple effects such as the seizure of imperial power by the inner court officials, (In Chinese tradition, it is divided into the inner Court for the emperor’s family and the Imperial Court for the whole country.)the eunuch's control of military and administration, The spouse's family dominated the court power, and the reform of the official system, reflecting the complex game of court system in ancient China.
Central Hub is the Ministry of Literature and the Privy Council,equal to the prime minister. and the place where the TongPingZhangshi and CanZhiZhengshi (Ancient official name) are not allowed to work a local official.
The inner court is the emperor's "people by his side", and the inner servants (eunuch), Zongbo (the chief of the royal family), and the HanLinYuanshi (secretary) of the inner court represent the three types of inner court powers.
The Queen Mother is still a function under test;
Shangshubushe and Liubu Shangshu were reduced to honorary officials title in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, and could be used to win over the powerful factions. Each year the emperor needs to pay salaries, which reflect the administrative costs of the empire and grow with the income and scale of the territory.

Palace Minister and Regent
The "Palace" mod designed by Miss Mi San has been built in; currently it has 50 earls, you can touch this mechanism, the button is located on the left side of the character interface, and then use influence to realize the control of the emperor and the empire; It also prepares for the upcoming Japanese government politics(gocha!).

World management char
Located in the court> empire, and court> secondary titles, it displays the complete interface of the princes, military govenor, administrative civil officials, and other government types within the empire, allowing you to fully grasp the reality of the empire. There are buttons for changing the government type interaction beside each avatar.

Harem
Located in the court> secondary title, it shows the queen and all the emperor’s concubines. The queen’s important relatives are located in the "spouse's family" column. The concubines are given corresponding titles based on whether they have children, their relationship and abilities. You can click "Select Concubine" and "Select Concubine from the Civil" button.

English information and instruction
At the moment, players who don't speak Chinese are basically restricted from the majority of the content of this mod. There is no explanations or instructions in English for all the features the mod introduces. Discussion is also predominantly in Chinese, so we can't find answers to questions ourselves. In game, new features are still largely without English localization.

Can we please do something about this issue? It prevents the majority of players of CK3 to appreciate this mod.
Lord_Daemonar Apr 19, 2022 @ 5:47pm 
Honestly all I want is an up-to-date English translation / localization for the mod.
Constantine Apr 19, 2022 @ 9:41pm 
This mod translation is a huge project. Maybe the author needs some time to do it.
Beavor Apr 22, 2022 @ 10:29pm 
Totally agree. Seems this mod adds a ton of cool features, and it'd be awesome if everyone could play it.

I'd be interested in an English translation, looks interesting I'd like to play on that side of the world in the game for a change.

Hello. I am a native English speaker, but I don't know Simplified Chinese. I tried to join your Discord chat room server, but the link is broken.
