Possession of the Emperor is a big thing.

The former can likely be represented by something similar to Free Investiture.

There needs to be a 'by appointment' succession for military posts and the like, and more opportunities for coups outside just familial pretenders.

That being said, if it's broken down into traditional governorships (even if the 'kingdom' level de jure laws are useless) it might be appropriate to represent claiming imperial titles, but for that I'd need to replay one of the games and tap a resource that knows more about that minutiae. Without ducal claims, however, expansion would be slower.

The de jure system really doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering everyone considered themselves successors to the Han (for the most part) and control was about who had the Mandate at the time.

Making a decision might make it too generic, and making a event chain might make it too random, but either is the most likely fix.

The way CK2 works is that anyone in the 'court' is sworn to you and there are no free agents, and nor is there really a equivalent to events like Zhuge Liang being recruited by Liu Bei.

Sworn brothers and a much more robust relationships system, also gift giving that doesn't involve money.

Things I can think of that'd need to be translated by mechanics (but are probably doable) are the following: I'm already working on another mod that's pretty much a total conversion itself. I remember starting as a free man traveling through southern China, meeting with Sun Jian and becoming sworn to him, proving myself and becoming his advisor, and changing history by helping him conquer China for his sons.Īt the same time, this idea is compelling to me.

Plus one of the best elements of (some) of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games is to be able to play at any level of the hierarchy. It'd also be a bit more difficult to translate the more meritocratic elements. For one the de jure system does not have a very good equivalent in the setting/time period. I love the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series myself, but the way CK2 is designed I'm not sure if it'd translate over very well.
