Unique Location Based Armies, Unique Province Based Armies and Unique Units for Minor Factions, Unique Nomadic Factions and armies

What This Mod All About
In the game there are like 200 different units, but roughly 100 units are rarely used or even seen in the game, they are mostly unique units, DLC unique units, or just forgotten units. In this mod I made good use of those units by making the armies diverse.

This mod makes every army owned by every faction diverse by giving some of the pre-existing unique units to all minor factions, and some major factions. Factions of different locations like the north, south, etc can recruit units recruit units unique from that locations like factions in the north can recruit Northern units. Different Provinces also give unique units like factions in the Jing province can recruit the Jing unique units. All assigned units has reasonable logic why I add them. A lot of research and handwork went in assigning the units in this mod.

Pre-existing units, units from Dead Baron's Roster expansion mod and units from Guv's additional unique mod were used to diversify the armies as they are great, balanced and close to vanilla units. No minor faction was spared in this diversification.

Units used from Guv's Additional Unique Mod:
Shu Defenders, Shu Shield Bearers, Mercenary Spearmen, Qi Scholar, Qiang Heavy Marauder, Xiliang Warrior, Song Royal Guard, Zhong Honour Guard, White Horse Shock Cavalry, White Horse Cataphracts, Nanyue Brigade, Nanyue Javelins and Riders of Ba.

Units used from Dead Baron's Roster Expansion Mod
The units of the Khan army , Han army, and Rattan army.

Unique Location Based Armies
This mod also made factions have access to units unique only in their starting location.

All factions in the north can recruit the pre-existing Northern army units as a replacement to their vanilla counterpart to make northern armies unique.
- Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yan, Gao Gan, Yuan Tan, Liu Yu, Wang Kuang, Yang Feng, Tian Kai, Xianyu Fu, Cao Cao, Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui are the factions that can recruit Northern Units.

All factions in the North west can recruit the Qiang, Xiliang and Nomadic Khan units.
- Ma Teng, Han Sui, Looters, Liang Rebels, and Dong Zhuo can recruit them.

While factions in the very north and north east can recruit Nomadic Xianbei units and the 2 infantry units of the Khan Army.

Factions in the south can recruit Mercenary units, Yue tribal units and units from the Rattan Army.

While Armies in farther south can recruit Nanyue units plus the Mercenary and Rattan Units.

New Unique Nomadic Factions and Armies
Creating a vassal in the northwest will produce a Qiang factions, that can recruit all Qiang and Khan units
Creating a vassal in the north east will create a Xianbei faction, they can Xianbei and Khan units
Creating a vassal in the north around the commandery of Xihe will spawn a Xiongnu faction that can recruit Xiongnu and Khan units.
All the Nomadic factions cant recruit Han units.
Future Updates
I plan to finish the Mandate of Heaven and Fates Divided Factions, then I will finish all the commadery factions.

Compatibility and Load order
Place this mod on TOP of all mods
This mod is compatible with a lot of mod.
This mod edits the faction table,

Currently this mod with the 2 required mods has some compatibility issue with TUP All Faction Playable and All Faction Playable mod, where the game will crash when starting a new campaign with a major faction, but not with minor factions. I believe load order can solve the problem but I haven't find a working order yet.

Not yet tested with TROM

Character mods like MTU and TUP have no problem.

Anything that dosen't edit the faction tables is good.

I have a question about this mod... If you force your way to a different region of the map, will you be able to recruit units from that region? Like if you are Ma teng and having nomads units will you be able to recruit nanman if you reach to their region?
