OK I met my first over-powered guy. Mune Yoshi is killing 2 guys at once even with guard and vigor on!
EDIT: Maybe I'm not supposed to fight him yet… I'll come back later when I have better armor. He's too overpowered for right now.
EDIT2: Just got "Flare" so will try to blaze him up.
EDIT3: OK that got him :)
Just beat what used to be Gui Yang. The map edits are great here. Can't even recognize where I'm at :)
2 minor buggies…
1. The latest downloaded version doesn't have the life/raise fix yet. I fixed in my local copy.
2. After I did invite in Gui Yang Nobunaga's ghost came…or is that supposed to be the Hideyoshi? :) Not sure what you can do about this one… Would take some coding stuff.
Yeah, its supposed to be Hideyoshi, nothing I can do about that one unless some major coding was done <cough> MidKnight <cough>
I thought I fixed that raise bug on the newest upload? Hmm… Will have to check it, just tell me what address that one letter fix was again.
Was that a surprise w/ Muneyoshi? I was hoping it would be considering people usually go grab that guy there instantaneously :)
Link updated with resurrection bug fix :)
I'm in chapter 7 now just before the cave. Now having some tough party decisions. I just switched my party again. I now have:
Tadaoki
Tada Katsu
Masa Mune
Hanzo
Ieyasu
* Kanbei
Ukon (pack mule)
You're really cruising through it now. Hopefully no more bugs… :crybaby:
Well like I've said, this mod really raises the bar and sets a new standard for mods. Now with other new mods everyone will be expecting major map edits, major event changes, and major updates across the whole mod. It's great that you'll be doing a Wu mod. As for Wei perhaps someone (James? ludmeister? me? LYS? penguin after Wu mod?) could update James' Cao Cao mod to have all the cool new stuff (portraits, map edits, tactic changes, etc…). I guess we'd have to check with James on that first.

Oh yikes, I don't know if I could get a 4th mod out… I've been tinkering with some stuff with the Wu mod, but i'm really racking my brain with progression. I have forces starting in Changsha and going east through Wu, but what next after the 4 governors are conquered? Yuan Shu -> Chi bi -> Fighting w/ Shu -> Fighting w/ Wei -> conquering of Wei -> conquering of Shu is how I'm envisioning it. Since the normal DOAE is conquering Wei, I'd rather do something different and have players end w/ conquering Shu.
It'll take some really goofy map editing, but I did that in Chapter 7 of this mod. Let me know if you figure out how it works.
Ya the Hawking thing? Found it by accident kind of.
Wu Mod Idea: What if the Wu/Shu alliance from the battle of Red Cliff holds until Cao Cao/Cao Pi are defeated? Then in the end Wu and Shu turn on each other and battle one on one for control. Maybe you could even have Zhuge Liang on your side (temporarily) for Red Cliff.
So are you using Sun Jian much? I think you should as he has a lot of historical stuff to work off of.
In 184, the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jiao broke out across the country. Sun Jian joined the general Zhu Jun to quell the rebellion in Yuzhou (豫州, present day southern Henan and northern Anhui) area. The soldiers fought hard, forcing the rebels to retreat to Wancheng (宛城, present day Nanyang, Henan). Sun Jian placed himself in the forefront and climbed onto the city walls alone. The rest then swarmed in and defeated the rebels.
Around this time, Bian Zhang (邊章) and Han Sui colluded with the Qiang tribes and rebelled in Liang Province (涼州, present day western Gansu). After Dong Zhuo failed to put down the rebellion, the central government sent in his place the Minister of Works Zhang Wen, who invited Sun Jian along as an advisor. When Zhang Wen summoned Dong Zhuo to the encampment at Chang'an, Dong Zhuo procrastinated and took a long time to arrive. When he did, he showed little respect for Zhang Wen. Sun Jian then advised Zhang Wen to execute Dong Zhuo, but Zhang Wen declined as Dong Zhuo held high reputation in the west.
Hearing that a mass army had arrived, the rebels promptly surrendered. When Zhang Wen and the rest returned to the capital Luoyang, however, the court held that the army did not engage the enemy and thus no honor was accorded. Meanwhile, another local-scale rebellion broke out near Changsha and the rebels besieged the city. Sun Jian was then made governor of Changsha. Within a month upon taking up office, Sun Jian had quelled the rebellion. Meanwhile, rebellions also broke out in the neighboring commanderies of Lingling (零陵, present day Yongzhou, Hunan) and Guiyang (桂陽). Both were put down by Sun Jian, who was then enfeoffed as Marquis of Wucheng (烏程侯).
Coalition against Dong Zhuo
In 189, Emperor Ling died, leaving his young son in the care of regents Empress Dowager He and General-in-Chief He Jin. He Jin then summoned Dong Zhuo to lead troops into the capital to assist in a plot to eliminate the powerful eunuch faction. Before Dong Zhuo arrived, however, He Jin was assassinated by the eunuchs and Luoyang fell into chaos following a clash between supporters of both sides. Dong Zhuo then seized military control of the capital and deposed the young emperor for the puppet Emperor Xian. However, his tyrannical ways incurred the wrath of many and in the following year, warlords from eastern China formed a coalition against him.
Sun Jian also raised an army with ten-thousands of troops and joined Yuan Shu, one of the leaders of the coalition at Luyang (魯陽, present day Lushan County, Henan). Yuan Shu made Sun Jian the General Who Quells Rebels (破虜將軍) and governor of Yuzhou. Sun Jian then began training and preparing his troops at Luyang. A force sent by Dong Zhuo was so impressed with the strict discipline of Sun Jian's troops that they gave up the plan to attack Luyang. When Sun Jian moved out to Liangdong (梁東, east of present day Linru County, Henan), he was outnumbered by Dong Zhuo's forces. With several dozen horsemen, Sun Jian broke out of the encirclement. He took off the red felt scarf he had always been wearing and handed it to his trusted aide Zu Mao (祖茂), whom Dong Zhuo's soldiers then chased after while Sun Jian escaped. Unable to shake off his pursuers, Zu Mao then dismounted, hanged the scarf onto a half-burnt pillar, and hid himself in the tall grasses nearby. The enemies surrounded the pillar and approached cautiously till they realized they had been fooled, whereupon they retreated.
After regrouping his troops, Sun Jian pressed forward against the capital and engaged in battle against Dong Zhuo's forces at Yangren (陽人, northwest of Linru County). He scored a brilliant victory and killed the enemy commander-in-chief Hua Xiong in battle. (In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Xiong was said to be killed by Guan Yu.) At this time, someone told Yuan Shu that if Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and took over the capital, he would not be controllable anymore. The doubtful Yuan Shu then ceased the food supply to Sun Jian. Sun Jian rode the hundred odd li from Yangren to Luyang in the night to see Yuan Shu, whereupon he said to the latter, "I put myself to danger in battle, first to remove the rebel (Dong Zhuo) for the country and second to avenge the deaths of your family (Yuan Shu's family members in Luoyang had all been killed by Dong Zhuo). I have no personal grudge against Dong Zhuo. Yet you could believe slanderous talks and suspect me!" The words put Yuan Shu to shame and he immediately ordered the food supply to be delivered.
Fearing Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo then sent his general Li Jue as an emissary to seek peace and propose a marriage to cement the alliance. However, Sun Jian rejected the proposals with harsh words and carried on his campaign towards Luoyang. In late 190, his force was merely ninety li away from the capital when Dong Zhuo retreated west to Chang'an after burning Luoyang to the ground. Entering Luoyang, Sun Jian ordered his men to reseal the tombs of former emperors that were excavated by Dong Zhuo, after which he returned to Luyang. It was said in the Book of Wu (吳書) by Wei Zhao that Sun Jian found one of the emperor's jade seals in a well south of Luoyang and kept it. Later, when Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, he held Sun Jian's wife Lady Wu hostage in exchange for the seal.
Later life
In 191, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao in Jing Province (荆州, present day Hubei and Hunan). The defense force led by Liu Biao's subject Huang Zu was defeated by Sun Jian, who pursued the enemy across the Han River to Xiangyang. During a solo ride on the Xian Hill (峴山), Sun Jian was ambushed by Huang Zu's troops, who shot him to death with arrows. The Record of Heroes (英雄記) by Wang Can, however, claims that Sun Jian died in 193 and that he was crushed to death by boulders instead of killed by arrows while pursuing the enemy commander Lü Gong. His nephew Sun Ben collected his troops and returned to Yuan Shu, who then made Sun Ben the Inspector of Yu Province.
Thought about that, but then it would be nearly identical to regular DOAE.
OK or you can start here:

The mechanics of that would be:
– Sun Jian get's Liu Bei's general ID but of course gets his own portrait/sprite.
– Copy a Sun Ce sprite over the Liu Bei sprite.
– Optionally copy a Yuan Shu sprite over the Tao Qian sprite.
– The final battle of chapter 1 is actually an ambush by Huang Zu.
So at the end of chapter 1 Sun Jian vanishes and Sun Ce is sitting on the chair.

Actually I was planning on knocking off ol' Sun Ce since running around all game w/ a Super-charged Guan Yu Str/Int kind of character would make the game more cheap. :P
So Sun Quan sits in the chair and Zhou Yu leads the army?
