[Prefect of Cathay] Adds Ataman-like System to Grand Cathay
This mod introduces Prefects of Cathay to the faction, based on the Provincial Governor template. They feature a full skill tree and function nearly identically to Kislev’s Atamans, including experience bonuses in settlements with garrisons or resource buildings.
Compatible mod:
[Kislev] One Ataman Governor Per Province
Recommendations:
1.Enable this mod ONLY when playing as Cathay—it may cause Kislev to randomly spawn Provincial Governor-style Atamans.
2.Text inconsistencies may occur for Kislev factions due to localization overrides.

Dev Diary Rant:
Got kicked awake by my cat at 2 AM, suddenly thought: "Hey, I could port Kislev’s Ataman system to Cathay!" Spent 40 minutes digging through tables—initially thought it’d be easy with just 6 tables. Saved the mod and went back to bed, smug.
Woke up realizing compatibility issues and the new patch’s skill mechanics. Proceeded to deep-dive into 30+ tables, crash-testing the game a dozen times. With guidance from "King Wei’s Tutorials" (which I’d totally forgotten) and Deep’s wisdom (plus my mediocre table-editing skills), I finally got it working by adding a new lord type and rewriting mechanics. Sigh, modding is pain.
