About this mod

This mode is a stand-alone that separates the components of my mod, "They Should Be The Legendary (Character Enhancement Mod)." If you would like to see the full mod, please check the link below.

Total War: The Three Kingdoms are based on the system of "Wu Xing(五行)" or Five Elemental, a traditional Eastern thought.

"Overcoming" means the idea of one element overwhelming the other. However, in the game, no units or characters of each type is shown to be that way.

Also, The character’s characteristics are unclear, making it an ambiguous ones; It’s Sentinel. The Sentinels are too focused on dodge, It’s not very useful for combat, but rather it’s called the "dodge bug" that is commonly called.
(Of course, Bugs that overlap skill effects are not an issue for dodge abilities or for Sentinel characters. All skills can cause the SIMILAR problem. However, it is often referred to as "dodge bug" because it is the most recognizable to players.)

So, I’d like to enhanced this "Overcoming" system, and to clarify the characteristics of each character to add more fun to the battle.

If you think some figures or skills are too strong or weak, or maybe if you have any good ideas, please tell me 🙂

Changes

Nurfed dodge-related skills

As I said above, dodge abilities or skills are not the cause of bugs. However, I thought it would be better to do this as a temporary expedient. n addition, the overall avoidance figure was too high, so there was a problem that the Sentinel character was of no use unless it was a one-on-one battles. I nurfed dodge to have a greater impact on other abilities.

Rebalancing of characters according to Overcoming

I chose to rebalance around the character, not around the armies. There are already many mods that rebalance the units. I wanted to give the character only a few additions to improve compatibility with other rebalancing mods.

Changes Based on Overcoming

Wood parts Earth

Now Wood-Type, or Spearman, is overwheming the Sword cavalry. I don’t think I need to touch anything here.

Earth blocks Water

The sword cavalry with shields, or the commander class characters focused on defense skills, are counter units of the water-class characters. However, the sword cavalry is not used simply because it lacks generality. And so, as a first step, I’ve given "Authority" attribute to speed up the movement of the sword cavalry. I hope the sword cavalry will be used in various situations.

Water extinguishes Fire

Although the cavalry is still overwhelming against infantry, I have given the character’s "Instinct" attribute an additional ability to splash damage and increase the hit rate. Splash damage is an unavoidable, and is fatal to metal-type characters or units.

Metal chops Wood

First of all, I redesigned metal-type characters to handle attack buffs.

I deleted "Temperated Deflection" and added a new skill, "Indomitable Will." "Indomitable Will" is a powerful ability to inflict additional infantry damage and increased splash damage on users and surrounding forces. Through this, I designed the metal-type character to be used as a powerful infantry-killer.

Also, I’ve given "Expertise" attribute a new "Metal-type infantry AP damage increase" ability. This is to solve the problem that the damage of metal-type infantries ara too low, except for some special units. In particular, choosing AP damage rather than general damage was intended to cause significant damage to units with high defense capabilities, as the wood-type infantry is usually highly armours.

Through these adjustments, we can now see that metal-type infantry did not win wood-type infantry in the past, but now they do win easily.

Adjust on 1-On-1 Battle

I adjusted the ranking of 1-On-1 Battle: 1. Champions 2. Sentinels 3. Vanguards.
