"What is this? Blazing Saddles?"
Xiahou Yuan, aka. The One-track General

In History, Xiahou Yuan is famous as a bullish believer of bravery.

He does not have a notable war-merit, nonetheless leads an army frequently against rebels.

People call him ‘the general of empty-lands’ in a sense of that he does not have a particular strength or strategic mind of battles except his unstoppable bravery.

‘The general of empty-lands’ is a direct translation result about the actual Chinese word, but I think that it will be better with a paraphrase way to express it’s nuisance. So ‘the one-track general’.

He died in the moment of fixing stockade by himself in the front of the camp of his army during a war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

And there is a note about what Cao Cao said after he heard about the death of Xiahou Yuan:

"A supreme commander should not fight in the front line, EVEN fixing stockade himself ! "

A handmade icon for the skill.

This mod replaces ‘Blazing Saddles’ with an alternative skill : The One-track General.

It represents Xiahou Yuan’s character in History. Always in the front but not at all be thoughtful.

‘Mighty knockback’ will be applied to soldiers (especially for cavalry.) by this skill.

Currently, I am not sure about how this skill is powerful. During few tests, It seems like powerful enough to me.

You can test this skill in custom battles. Choose ‘SKILLMOD’ tab.

Additionally, a campaign movement range + 20% (when commanding) is added considering Xiahou Yuan is very talented about maneuvering.

Combined with ‘Energetic’ +25% movement buff can be applied.

And if Xiahou Yuan get ‘Reach’, you can see a huge maneuver buff when Xiahou Yuan is commanding.

Obviously, it is because ‘Blazing Saddles’ is a piece of garbage.

But, here is a story, I found an interesting thing.

As all we know, ‘Blazing Saddles’ has ‘mighty knockback’. But it is quite unnecessary because any vanguard can get ‘mighty knockback’ from other skill (even as an passive buff.).

This ‘Intensity’ skill is not far from ‘Blazing Saddles’, it is just above ‘Blazing Saddles’ and you know what? Xiahou Yuan has ‘Intensity’ from the beginning. Therefore ‘mighty knockback’ in ‘Blazing Saddles’ is meaningless (what a non-sense !, unless the effect of this attribute can be overlapped).

The story is not finished yet. In the database, you can find this ‘Blazing Saddles’ have an option: affects allies. So this skill actually can be applied to allies not only for Xiahou Yuan himself, but the effect range is 0m. Therefore only Xiahou Yuan get this buff.

What this information means ? Personally I think CA designed this skill as An Area Effect skill at first, but changed the skill. During that, they might forget about vanguards actually can have ‘mighty knockback’ from other skill.

And ‘Blazing Saddles’ is not singular as you can see. I think that is the conclusive evidence for my logic.

Xiahou Yuan has another garbage skill : ‘Final Rush’. I cannot understand why CA does not give him ‘Blazing Saddles’ instead of ‘Final Rush’ ..

In the meanwhile, Introducing my another m~~~~~od !

Replacing ‘Final Rush’ !
