Looking forward to this possibly being updated

so been a hot minute since i last updated this mod. still gona be a bit though.
im not great with modding, i dont know what exactly is causing some of the changes to not actually work, and since then the game has had many patches, ontop of the dlc coming soon-ish
so for now im leaving this mod untouched untill after the next dlc

Hi, I really like the idea of this mod since it sucks that Zheng Shih isn't a spellcaster in the base mod.

However, when testing I noticed she doesn't start with The Hunger and there's no skill to give it to her. From the description I gather there's supposed to be one and it's supposed to precede the Forger/Poacher/Smuggler/Arsonist skills, but unless I'm going mad, it's just not there. The first skill in that new skill group is Forger.

that would be worse than grouchy ,you would be marmont or ney thanks for your update

@ago339 Well, I guess I'm lucky I never read it so I can completely spare you my sickeningly personal retribution in the form of grouchy, badmannered, foul-mouthed and rude replies, so we both save time and keep our karmas in check :)

Instead, here's a big teddy bear hug for you from Berlin <3

I'm glad I could eventually bring you this joyous moment of triumph! To actually see the mod you created still work with the current version of the game. I can only imagine the marvels that brought with it for your mind & soul, brother <3

Thank you in the name of Sigmar, the community and the "delete comment" function on Steam - may your mod be forever be functional and blessed by His Greatness <3

I sense that the power is strong in you, Young Padawan. Oh, and you're welcome

Ok so deleted my previous comment @sigmars_disciple because i was sick, grouchy, and rude when i wrote it, but now im feeling better and i just tested the mod,

so good news to everyone the mod seems to actually still be working! like wow wtf? how is that even possible!
anyways yea as far as i can tell this does not need to be updated as of patch 5.02 works completely which should mean all previous versions of the game is good with this mod too!

Hey @ago339 I agree with you that users spamming "update plz" as if it's their personal "ToDo list" or because they're OCD about an exclamation mark is very rude towards modders and users. Reports like "not working" with no additional info even more so. There's an extremely selfish attitude and that's the wrong approach. But I gotta say your reaction certainly didn't help other, less annoying ppl visiting since. Even if you don't play the game right now at all smth like "3 weeks ago when I played everything was fine" would be so much more useful.

I do think, whatever the current version is, a modder must know whether their mod is at least "safe to use" in a campaign. Almost 2 months later, we're on 4.2.3 (tomorrow I believe 5.0) and I still have the same question. ;)

Could you clarify, please? As annoying as people might be, myself included... <3

im surprised people liked this? its not balanced at all and very niche
look i haven't been playing total war lately but ill try to make time to check if its still working (since people just saying "update" doesn't mean its broken ironically.
(if its not working just say that. some of yall demand updates just because you see the yellow triangle in the default mod manager. its not telling at all.)

Hey, does this still work correctly with 4.2, folks? Thanks <3

+update

Update pls

@defaultnvm ok so yea the new db for skill nodesas made the new skills i added screw up.
it works completely now. if i updated the mod correctly, it should work

i havent tested it directly, but game runs with it in my mod order. ill check later though

4.0?

ok update
for some reason the mod manager is beign weird with my mod,
so i'd appreciate if someone would let me know, just to be sure from someone else POV, if my mod is working for them

Well, as I said, I'm just happy something got done with her :)

@TehOmissiah. im just gonna stop you there. I made this mod because i wanted her to be a vampire pirate again. i dont really have any interest what you're requesting and im new to modding as it is, this mod ii made snt even that great. sorry but i cant help you.

this mod was PURELY for personal preference and reasons. nothing else. when i requested in the description for suggestions to make the mod beter, i meant better towards the intent of the mod. making her a vampire again

The only reason they made her pirates coast from what I can tell, honestly is because its the closest faction that fits the word pirate, lol. Sorry for double post, and thanks either way. I'm happy SOMETHING is being done with her.

I mean she has anti corruption in her blue line, would it be possible to make a version where she isn't relying on vampire traits that leans into her, basically just being a human with human units. basically the buffs etc just go to her/her human crew.

and maybe up the anti-corruption to counter the building in the ship building tree.

Hell, if you were to do it maybe an ancillary or something to make her more ogre like pirate/mercenary with diplomacy like +50 (to counter the negative VC association) to all but make it so Cathay just always hate her.

note to everyone. turns out couple of the abilities i gave her only work in custom battle, so right now in campaign she will not have Hornswaggle, Honour or death, or heart piercing.
my plan at the moment is either just remove these additions because honestly they wernt really necissary, i was just exploring what i could do, OR to give her new abilities that will work in their place, such as the bomb throw (because cathay = gunpowder, and its piratey).
alternatively i could just fix those abilities with more help from the modding den because i dont know what im doing half the time, but given she already has so much, maybe not.

@tehOmnissiah im...somewhat confused what you want. because the non vampire one...is what the yinyin mod already gives you. this is a submod for that to turn her BACK into a vampire without changing all the things the yinyin mod gave her.
like she is already a character in the vanilla game and that one IS a vampire coast minor faction which you can play with just the mixu unlocker.
the Yinyin mod on-top of everything gives her a unique model, changes up her faction to represent a known warhammer faction in lore, and (unfortunately for me) makes her a more traditional cathayan pirate
the jade sea pirates submod then gives her things like ship building, making her more interesting to play as.
all i did is give her some lores and returned her vampire traits, with a couple additions

@tehomnissiah I may be wrong but I don’t think it’s as easy as a ‘non-vampire’ version I’m pretty sure that would involve making a new faction from the ground up since the base Jade sea pirates faction is a VC faction and removing corruption is more complicated than ticking a box from what some other modders have said.

Would you consider a fixed version that is not vampire related? Just curious because it leaves a lot open and a lot to be desired - Obviously this mod fixes that, but a non-vampire version would go down well COOP wise for those tall games.

Love this mod!

Wonderful mod !

Would be interesting if you gave her caravan mechanic awesome mod though! cool idea
