The Empire Reborn: United Cities Ovehaul
This is the base mod for the The Empire Reborn collection, for it to work as intended the mods listed at the bottom have to be downloaded.
The Empire Reborn: United Cities Overhaul is a mod that, integrating various amazing armors, weapons, and assets from talented creators, tries to add a necessary depth into one of Kenshi’s most important factions, this is with the addition of new dialog, characters, camps, world-states, squads and much more, with a focus on remaining as compatible as possible.
Features:
-Redone armor lists for dozens of Empire-related units, adding many armors and weapons made by talented modders into the game, as well as changing some item names and descriptions for more immersion, all this with a focus on staying lore friendly and retaining the original kenshi looks.
-New characters and units that bring more life and diversity to the Empire’s domains, drunk police officers, noble samurais, street vendors, lower class mercenaries, etc, all of them being lore friendly additions that fit into the world.
-New squads and caravans will now roam the sands, from recruits heading to the battlefield to heavily guarded weapon caravans and many others that make the roads a lot more interesting to travel.
-Created new camps and nests for the player to come across in the countryside, from peasant markets filled with exiled farmers to samurai training yards where conscripts get yelled at by drill sergeants, all of them offering unique interactions.
-Added dozens of new dialogue lines and packages to both old and new ncps that will make the world a lot less quiet without feeling like you are seeing to the same chatter over and over again.
-Dialogue trees with branching options and outcomes added to both old and new npcs that create new roleplay opportunities for the player and make the Empire feel more interactive and alive.
One part of the world-states that always felt lacking for me was Tengu’s death, so I decided to completely overhaul and revamp the events following this event, now, after killing the powerfull ruler of the United Cities, you will see the Empire truly crumbling as it falls into chaos with new overrides, characters, squads and camps:
-The nobles will start a desperate war as each one tries to take the throne, using what few remaining samurais are left as cannon fodder against each other.
-The citizens will flee to the dunes en masse trying to avoid the chaos of the now ruined towns, the countryside will become filled with refugee camps and displaced wanderers.
-Heft will become an active bloodbath between the different noble armies as they try to take control of the capital, as well as random battles happening constantly all over the deserts.
This is only the first stage of the mod, further expansions will be made, either as separate mods in the collection or as small updates to this one, so stay tuned!

What if i don’t download one of this mods? Some characters will lack clothing and some items won’t spawn, nothing game breaking but i don’t see why you wouldn’t download them, still if any of this mods are made by your archnemesis and you really really dont want to download it, open FCS and do the necesary edits.
Special thanks to the mod creators, they are the ones that made this whole idea possible.
