Guv’s Additional Unique Units Mod (Updated 2021-08-22)
Massive thanks to Dead Baron, who helped me a lot with unit cards and testing out the functionality of the mod. Check out his mods, he’s a legend when it comes to unit cards. Check out Dead Baron’s Unit Mod Collection where this mod is also embedded.
So, after heavy debate, I decided to start a larger mod project for 3K. Inspired by Troy, what would it be to add a few more units to the unique roster?
How historically authentic is this? I have no clue. But it’s fun!
- Adds up to 1 to 2 additional faction exclusive units for all factions. (Currently, base game, Yellow Turbans and A World Betrayed factions are complete).
- Some factions are left out, as they already have a large number of preexisting units.
- Reorganized the unit frontend setup for many factions, so it looks good.
So, it’s time for an update.
So now the Base Game factions along with ALL FLC factions, together with the Yellow Turban DLC and A World Betrayed DLC is now finished. I have heared some questions revolving why some few factions are left out. To be more specific, these factions are left out:
- Liu Hong (Mandate)
- Lu Zhi (Mandate)
- Zhang Jue (Mandate)
- Zhang Bao (Mandate)
- Zhang Liang (Mandate)
- Zhang Yan (Base game)
- Yan Baihu (FLC)
The Reasoning being that, well, I simply felt uninspired. I also didn’t really feel that the Bandits and Mandate of Heaven boys were bad at all. Infact, they are REALLY good. Unusually good. The Bandits are also a rather bloated culture, with research they unlock Han units to use as they wish. There is also a bandit pack mod made by Dead Baron that you can use to spice them up even further. Then why the heck did I add a unit to Zheng Jiang?
Truth be told, the only reasoning being, was because Zheng Jiang was my very first Three Kingdoms faction I ever played whom I have a connection with in the game. I wanted to honour her a bit and as such I added a fitting unit to her, suitable to her style. That’s it. It was a personal decision, not much more than that.
For a list of all units added, check the discussion section for an overview of all units.
Here are some important points that this mod adds:
- The Changes made to Liu Biao’s Imperial Defenders unit has been removed and moved into it’s own standalone mod: Guv’s Imperial Defenders Remake Mod
- Sun Jian and Sun Ce has their new unit "Mercenary Spearmen" available in one of their Captain retinues. Replacing Mercenary axemen with spearmen.
- Tao Qian’s unique garrison retinues now includes Territorial Sword Guards and Territorial Horsemen!
- Shi Xie was a complicated Process. So, CA didn’t really "finish" Shi Xie. He has no unique unit permission groups or a custom battle unit set key. As such, he cannot use his new unique units here in Custom battle unfortiunantely, unless I tamper with CEO datatables, which are HEAVILY incompatible with one another. Meaning, if you would use this mod, you couldn’t use MTU. And we wouldn’t wanna have that now, would we? So I have edited certain tables that might conflict with some mods. Mainly, "factions_tables".
None as of now.

Dead Baron’s Bandits Unit Pack
Dead Baron’s Earth & Metal unit pack
Guv’s Imperial Defenders Remake Mod
The mod should be savegame compatible.
Be careful of using overhauls, as they have likely edited large numbers.
Tao Qian has his Garrisons edited. Watch out for Garrison editing mods, as I edit tao qians entries in those tables.
Shi Xie has his faction table entry edited. Watch out for mods that edits ALL factions in "faction_tables".
I have written some important pointers in the above section for you to read if you’re curious.
