Description:
What it does:

Will spawn a unique champion general "The Lion-Kissed" within the first few turns, with more events that will follow and give him some nice gifts!
Also adds a unique unit that only he can recruit once he reaches rank 3.
The Paiwan Javelin Guard carry javelins that they can throw at enemies within range or use to brace the line, and a shield to protect them further.

Preamble:

This is another mod to add a unique general to your faction. The artwork is based on that of the workshop mod "Lionheart a new hero" by DracoHoribilis, which has been stated as freeware(!) by him. Very nice mod, but no longer works, sadly. The original mod made changes to ceos and start_pos files, my version does not.
There are changes to his portrait, 3D model and his skill set. I think he looks pretty good and is quite functional, without being OP.
His unique units are indigenous natives from Yizhou (Taiwan) and are from one of the native tribes there; the Paiwan. They are Austronesian and are the forebears of many Pacific Island natives, rather than of Han Chinese descent. This will make more sense once his events fire in game….

Compatibility:

Should be compatible with most mods as there are no changes to ceos nor start_pos.
Will work for any start date and regardless of which faction he is in.
Not compatible with 8P DLC.
Not compatible with any mod that also calls an 8P general (Sima Liang) into the regular game.
Will not work for Nanman factions.
Not save game compatible.

Tested to work with:
Should work in any load order….

Limitations:

He has a limit of a maximum of 2 of his unique units available to him.
His farmers hat will clip into his cape when charging, but the best I could do. (new to me program used)

Changes:

Added javelin unit to his roster, loosely based on Javelin Guards.
Triggers on his Lion Claw skill. (enabled)
