TY’s KR Graphic Submod II
Compatible KR version: 0.27.4
KR has already merged some of the content from this submod (I’d say over 50%), so appreciate the team members’ acknowledgment of my work! And the related content will be removed from here.
Kaiserreich is a mod with high-quality and interesting content that many players enjoy, and we are all very grateful for the great effort put in by the KR team. However, there might still be some room for improvement in certain graphical content, and this submod is my attempt to tweak some of the related aspects, hope it could slightly improve the quality of them.
◆ Overhauled flags for Chinese tags.
◆ Reworked and tweaked portraits for some Chinese characters.
◆ Newly-made national spirits, designing companies, intelligence agencies, and focus icons.
We all know that in KR, at the start in China, there was a standoff between the Fengtian Government, and Qing, which was dominated by the Zhili. As a result, most military forces nominally submitted to the Qing authority will retain their original blue/gray Beiyang uniforms, just the five-color-star symbol that represented the old republic was removed (Manchu members of the Qing can wear the "Imperial Guard" uniform from Xuantong era or the Manchukuo uniform from OTL). On the other hand, the Fengtian Government, much like OTL, wears a variant of the Beiyang uniform influenced by the Japanese, with slightly smaller visor caps, a similar uniform color as the IJA, and, most importantly, just like the IJA, general-rank has no collar patches.
After the collapse of the LEP, tags in the south began to gain autonomy, with the Federalists and the Kuomintang starting their paths to Chinese unification. It’s well known that the Left Kuomintang started wearing the blue NRA uniform since the last update, so correspondingly, the Right Kuomintang would wear the green NRA uniform.
As for the Federalists, my current approach is to temporarily have its core members wear the original Beiyang uniform since Chen Jiongming personally favored this attire. Yunnan’s Tang Jiyao, wearing the Beiyang uniform for a similar reason. However, for other minor sympathizers who can ally with both Federalists and the Kuomintang, I would tend to have them wear the NRA uniform, to differentiate them better from their warlord peers.
KR team’s arrangement on SHX, by picking different uniform colors to distinguish political leanings, is creative, but I do believe we can go further by using various uniform styles instead of colors only, which seems to make more sense.
