The Nanman Enhanced

"I will meet the Han with an unreserved passion; a flame of fury born from the goddess herself and with it I WILL BURN THE EMPIRE AWAY!" – Lady Zhurong

While maintaining the vanilla feel, it expands and enriches the Nanman factions by playing even deeper into the furiously wild theme of tribal natives who are one with the land and willing to defend their homes against the Han with all of their unending fury through fire and blood.

• Unique Raze – Let nature retake the land by razing settlements to earn meaningful bonuses for your army in hostile territories.
• Unique Support Stance – The Nanman as one with the land gain a unique stance to nourish the sacred land and support their people through Ancestral Ways.
• Unique Raiding Stance – Lady Zhurong and Meng Huo as the passionate fiery lovers can unleash their blazing fury upon hostile lands with their unique Wild Fire stances.
• Unique Burning Arrows – The Nanman Fire Archers now use unique specially coated burning arrows, a gift from the fire goddess herself.

• Nanman Character Skills – Skills are now meaningful versatile bonuses that allow the player to shape and form their generals into various archetypes to fulfill meaningful roles upon the battlefield. Mix and match them to create fun synergies.
• Unique Bodyguards – The bodyguards of the six primary Nanman leaders will now visually look unique in order to represent their own tribal background.
• Natural Hunters – As masters of the hunt, all Nanman ranged units can now fire while moving to make them appear more wild and efficient as tribal hunters.
• Become The Furious Wild – As one with the land, Nanman factions know how to survive and replenish in hostile lands by researching necessary reforms and by razing settlements.
• Burn It All Down – Lady Zhurong along with her unique faction units and her lover Meng Huo will now burn down nearby buildings through their newly received Raider trait.
• Ministerial Tribal Council – All tribal council positions are now acting as ministerial positions, incentivizing confederation in order to obtain all unique Nanman generals for their beneficial faction-wide bonuses.
• Advisors & Seers – These ministerial positions have been expanded so that all primary Nanman leaders can remain close with the faction leader once the tribes are fully unified.
• Burning – The passive damage-over-time effect from Followers Of The Flame now actually does damage and received a new icon along with an appropriate name.
• Teach Mercenaries The Way Of The Nanman – The Nanman Mercenaries can now be taught how to use fire and poison arrows by researching their reforms.

• Mulu & Duosi – Their bodyguard sizes are now the same as other primary Nanman leaders and Duosi in particular will be at the front of his unit, just like the other leaders.
• The Burning Mace – Received a new icon and model, one more fitting for the Goddess Of Fire.
• Militia Spacing – All Nanman units now use militia spacing rather than the default Han spacing, to make them appear more tribal and wild.
• Elephants Can No Longer Start Sieges – Due to a bug CA introduced years back which prevents elephants from attacking city gates, their ability to start sieges has been removed to avoid the Nanman acting like headless chickens in offensive sieges. They will now have to craft siege weapons like everyone else.
• Southern Elephants Size – These elephant units are now the same size as the other units, as previously they were visually 15% smaller in size.
• Followers Of The Flame – Like all the other Nanman units, their unit size and HP pool are now the same as the rest and can use Loose Formation.
• Hidden Vipers Army Position – They will be sorted as frontline units rather than rear missile units, since they’re incredibly sturdy with powerful poison darts.
• Slingers – Their range has been increased to 225, with their projectile speed and angle adjusted as well. Historically slings had a much longer range than bows and were equally as deadly.
• Tribal Warrior Women – Lady Zhurong’s support units Fire Archers & Tiger Slingers have been turned into female to make her faction a bit more wild and feminine.
• More Unit Experience, Less Unit Rank – To synergize better with Nanman personal goals, military buildings instead of providing unit ranks upon recruitment will provide experience per season to all units in a province.
• Units With New Appearances;
  • Fire Archers
  • Followers Of The Flame
  • Nanzhong Elephants
  • Southern Elephants
  • War Elephants
  • Tiger Warriors
  • Tiger Slingers

Any mods affecting the changes listed above however will mostly come down to load order sortation, if there are any clashes. Feel free to ask if you are unsure.
