[Wuthering Waves] Phrolova Leads the Fractsidus Civilization
A lingering star between life and death, Phrolova—mysterious and dangerous, the silent conductor… As she raises her baton, the resonant frequency she conducts weaves a melody of the soul—one that can craft a beautiful world, or summon legions to its command.
This mod has only been tested with Gathering Storm enabled and all DLCs installed. Gathering Storm is definitely required; other DLCs may also be needed (likely 2–3), but the exact ones are unknown. Multiplayer should work in theory, but has not been extensively tested. Compatibility with major overhaul mods (such as HD, GA, etc.) is unknown.

All visual assets and materials are sourced from Civilization VI and Wuthering Waves, while music resources are taken from Wuthering Waves. If there is any infringement or offense, please contact me and I will remove them immediately.
No custom diplomacy text or unit models (Phrolova Clone uses the Great Musician model).
Localization only includes Simplified Chinese, machine-translated Traditional Chinese, and machine-translated English.
Tested with Gathering Storm and all DLCs—fully functional under those conditions. If it fails to run, please contact me with the error log. Otherwise, I’ll divine your fate in the stars.
If you enjoyed it, please give it a like. Thank you!
Might update the mod with custom models and dialogue if I ever get time to study those aspects.
Did you pull on the Phrolova banner? I didn’t really mean to… I just wanted to show off my six-chain.
Special thanks to H&emmelfort for their tutorial videos and manuals on Bilibili, and for the MOD tools; to 枫&叶 for the Lua scripting guide.
Thanks also to 糸七’s 诸&葛亮 (千古一相), H&SbF6HSO3F’s 碧&蓝航线 series, O&phidy’s 明&日方舟：巴&别塔, and C&aesar’s 高&贵的加力凯&撒, whose mods offered great reference and inspiration. If any content offends or infringes, please contact me for immediate removal.
And a shoutout to A&nshan_67’s 四&大金刚 for the inspiration behind the layered tribal-village-builder exploit—I tested it here too. Sadly, no perpetual motion, but perhaps Workshop-tier strength at T1? Certainly not as noble as鞍山, but close enough.
Final thanks to 千&古歌’s 珂&莱塔, whose cover I shamelessly imitated.

(Rambling: The reason this mod is overpowered is because, well… most anime-themed mods on the Workshop are overpowered too! It’s not just because I borrowed ideas from those listed above. My "modding process" is basically: come up with an ability, feel like something’s off while writing it, then search the Workshop for keywords to find a reference. I just use whatever comes up first.)
25.9.4 Update: Added the music tracks that everyone was asking for: four world map BGMs (Slumber in Crimson Beyond, To the Other Shore, Oath of the Netherworld Aria, Fading Melody) and two Phrolova solos as diplomacy BGMs. Personally, they don’t sound quite right—maybe it’s just me? As for custom models… I’ve chickened out. Too difficult!
