Talent Evolution

Description

Talent Evolution is a character progression and roguelike-style Talent system for Total War: THREE KINGDOMS.

The mod gives characters a set of unique Talents that can be changed, enhanced, and evolved through four rarity tiers.

Instead of simply giving characters large stat bonuses, Talent Evolution is designed around long-term character building. Players can search for the Talent they want, invest Gold to enhance it, and eventually evolve that same Talent from Common all the way to Legendary.

Each rarity becomes progressively stronger and more complex, while Legendary Talents gain their own special Signature effect.

The goal of the mod is to make characters feel more unique and give the player another meaningful progression system throughout the campaign.

Main features

34 unique Talents

The mod currently contains 34 different Talent families covering three general playstyles:

• []Character / personal combat [/]

  []Army / retinue command [/]

  []Economy / administration [/]

Talents have been designed to reduce duplicate effects so that different Talents support different character builds.

Four rarity tiers

Every Talent now has all four rarity levels:

Common → Rare → Exceptional → Legendary

Each tier follows a standardized structure:

Common

• []2 stat effects [/]

Rare

• []3 stat effects [/]

  []Stronger values than Common [/]

Exceptional

• []4 stat effects [/]

  []Stronger values than Rare [/]

Legendary

• []5 stat effects [/]

  []1 additional Signature / Special effect [/]

Legendary effects may include abilities such as:

• []Snipe [/]

  []Terror [/]

  []Stalk [/]

  []Unbreakable [/]

  []Fatigue Immunity [/]

  []Charge Reflect [/]

  []Guerrilla Deployment [/]

  []Other Talent-specific Signature effects [/]

Talent Evolution

A Talent can evolve while keeping the same Talent identity.

Ghost Marksman Common +3

→ Ghost Marksman Rare +0

→ Ghost Marksman Exceptional +0

→ Ghost Marksman Legendary +0

Evolution does not randomly change the Talent.

A Talent must reach Enhance +3 before it can evolve.

Current Evolution costs and success rates:

Common → Rare

• []1,500 Gold [/]

  []80% success [/]

Rare → Exceptional

• []3,000 Gold [/]

  []60% success [/]

Exceptional → Legendary

• []8,000 Gold [/]

  []40% success [/]

If Evolution succeeds:

• []Talent advances to the next rarity [/]

  []Enhance resets to +0 [/]

If Evolution fails:

• []Gold is consumed [/]

  []Talent is not lost [/]

  []Talent remains at +3 [/]

---

Change system

Change now works only within the Talent's current rarity.

For example:

• []Common can only Change into another Common Talent [/]

  []Rare can only Change into another Rare Talent [/]

  []Exceptional can only Change into another Exceptional Talent [/]

  []Legendary can only Change into another Legendary Talent [/]

Change costs:

• []Common: 300 Gold [/]

  []Rare: 800 Gold [/]

  []Exceptional: 2,000 Gold [/]

  []Legendary: 5,000 Gold [/]

Changing a Talent resets its Enhance level to +0.

---

Enhance system

Talents can be enhanced up to +3.

Enhance bonuses:

• []+1 = +15% [/]

  []+2 = +30% [/]

  []+3 = +45% [/]

The bonus is calculated from the current rarity's Talent values.
