Total War Three Kingdoms – Mods

Radious Total War Mod

Yes today is the day! Today we present you our 7th Overhaul for TW games. Yep 7th, we support every TW game since Shogun 2 with complete Radious style overhauls. Three Kingdoms are no different and today we can present you our first version of new overhaul on which we spend past several weeks to have it ready for you exactly today!

Big thanks to CA for creating another fresh and unique TW game, without them we would not be able to make any mods!

Before we go into mod release details please consider supporting our work, joing our Patreon so we will be able to support all released titles further, future dlcs and mainly massive mod updates for current and upcoming TW titles. Amount of work cant be really described by words, but we put into this thousands of hours and we are so happy you enjoying our mods for so many years!

And now is time to present you our latest creation, Radious Total War Mod for Three Kingdoms!

Its the first version! There will be dozens of updates, additions and much more as you are used to receive from us!

Radious Total War Mod – Three Kingdoms

Updated – 26.05.2019:

– Rewrote some mod tables.

– Several additional unit balance changes.

– Garrison Overhaul – new progressive system of garrisons – every Major town, Resource region and additional garrison building now has different garrisons. Higher level = more troops and better units. Vanilla game upgrades garrisons only every 2-3 levels and major town garrisons are super small, that is now completely changed and reworked. Its fully savegame compatible, but current garrison retinues will be replaced only if killed or you upgrade to next tier.

– Yellow Turban garrisons are sofar vanilla and will be changed in future updates, they have own unique ones compared to rest of factions.

– Fixed bug with Zhang Fei hero very low morale.

– Higher tier towns require slightly more food.

– Building costs slightly increased on higher levels.

Updated – 27.05.2019:

– Slightly rebalanced character salaries.

– Additional unit balancing.

– Fixed garrison UI and retinues – more then 6 units in single retinue causes issues, so i created another retinue when garrison is suppose to have more then 7 units (captain + 6). For major towns level 5-10 and minor towns level 2-5.

– Few minor bug fixes.

Updated – 28.05.2019:

– Slightly increased shields/formations protection vs missiles.

– Additional unit stats balance changes, few new shields for larger diversity between unit types.

– Minor recruitment and upkeep costs changes.

– Empty Regular palace attendants technology now has proper effects.

– Various balance changes to many projectile weapons.

– Cavalry running speed slightly increased.

– Additional Security buildings no longer provides additional garrison units – since there is limit of max 2 retinues for garrison units (14 units) i buffed main town garrisons instead and this building is providing additional supplies, public order and siege weapons on walls.
