Guv’s Captain Retinues Overhaul Mod (Updated 2021-06-15)

Yuan Shao has it pretty neat with all his captain retinues. Imagine leading an army with only 1 leader. Like the good old days. Who needs 3 pesky nobles to lead an army? None I say.

• Captain retinues are now available to all Han Factions, not just Yuan Shao.
• Bandits have their own type of captain retinues.
• To increase usage, technologies and certain unique resource effects and even faction rankings have been improved to include buffs for captain retinues.

Here’s a detailed description of what this mod has done:

Mod:

• All Han and Bandit factions gain access to Secondary retinues. Han factions gain Captain retinues and Bandits gain Bandit retinues.
• All Han factions, like Yuan Shao, unlocks better tiers of captain retinues as they progress.
• Liu Hong and Jin Empire has access to special Imperial Retinues. Super expensive, but contain Imperial units.

UI:

• Effects mentioning Captain or Mercenary retinues are now called "Secondary Retinues", to bind them all together into one unified understanding.

Technologies & Culture:

• Some Han Technologies provide Upkeep and Recruitment cost reductions for Secondary Retinues. (Regional commissioners, Garrison Conscripts, Hierarchial Enfeoffments, Extension of Conscription Period)
• All Outlaws & Outcasts provide Recruitment cost reductions for Secondary Retinues (max -70% cost reduction).
• Yellow Turban faction ranking provide Upkeep and Recruitment cost reductions for Secondary Retinues and in a faster rate.

Faction Specifics:

• Tao Qian’s resource now provides Recruitment cost reduction for Secondary retinues at the later stages.
• Yuan Shu’s faction ranking provide a minor increase in Recruitment cost reduction for secondary retinues.
• Yan Baihu’s unique resource provide Upkeep cost reduction for secondary retinues.

Eight Princes:

• All Eight Princes factions gain access to Captain retinues.
• Eight Princes Faction Ranking system also unlock better captain tiers, similar to Han factions.
• Jin Empire gain access to Imperial Retinues.
• Certain Technologies reduce upkeep and recruitment cost for captain retinues.

Should be compatible with anything that doesn’t try to do the same I guess.
