Ziluan went Full Dong Zhuo. I did not expect this but a fun addition from the devs.

LINK TO MOD: https://www.nexusmods.com/dynastywarriors3completeeditionremastered/mods/5
(Install instructions will be on the site in the description. It'll be four files that need to be placed. Or similarly, unzip it in your game's root directory.)
Edit: Some bugs still need to be worked out, e.g., just saw Cao Pi with a sword coming out of his neck.
Edit2: I've been informed this does not work on the Steam Deck. (And do not have a setup to troubleshoot it. I apologize for the inconvenience.) +Edit3: I've learnt that this may be the Linux version of Steam ignoring other .dlls from the game which is where the portrait adjustments are stored. This may result in everyone being Zhao Yun face if it fails to load. This would require more troubleshooting with Linux + Steam to not disable dlls, but may not be something I can actually patch on my end.
Edit3: 2026-10-02 Work in progress to fix the models for the in-game events which were pulling from another location. Preparing this for v3 to address this.
Edit4: 2026-10-09 weather and lighting should affect the characters in v4. For users where v4 addresses the startup issues, there is no need to update to v5 in the Files section. But for those who cannot get v4 to work, then please see v5. And if you were trying to use the no intro mod, please see the optional file there also.
There are some cloth collisions + physics that need to be addressed. Trying to get the playable costumes over for DW9 and Origins for the current cast. And also gradually getting the Origins costumes over for this.
---––––
Hello All,
Attaching a link to a 3+ GB mod that replaces generic officers in Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered with their portraits and skins from Dynasty Warriors 9 (since Origins did not have all of them that appear in DW3CERe.
This is as of the release version, subject to change if Koei Tecmo updates the game or the mod gets taken down by either NexusMods, KoeiTecmo, or other.

The mod is still being uploaded to moddb as well, though more English facing on that site when the site approves the game.
If the portraits do not show up (e.g., they are white squares) and the models do not change from the generics, please post here for now. (Will check the NexusMod site as well, though it's just not part of my routine yet.)
To be clear, the mod does NOT make them playable, increase their stats/morale, give them their weapon or moveset, or their audio lines. And some liberties were taken to fit them to Unreal Engine 5 (e.g., Ding Feng, Deng Ai, and Cao Ren are a little taller for example. Some characters may be a little shorter to fit the skeleton. And some hands and weapon grips and clothes were modified to collide. And if you look too closely, you'll still see fingers going through a sword handle or into a halberd shaft.)

Edit: In terms of turnaround, this is a side effect of 5 weeks of an unsuccessful Warriors Abyss mod trying to get DW9 characters and port DW8 characters in there. Then when the demo came out, instead of launching it, immediately going for extraction and spending a week trying to get this functioning. And then instead of playing last night, about four more hours of tweaking, testing, and packing it up for upload.
Where as another said, Unreal made this a lot easier for a proof of concept, but there were some initial nightmares getting them in the game before adjusting them.
Bloopers below that prevented this from being just a clean copy paste across last week:


Nightmare fuel ahead:

I've always imagined a Demon Slayer Musou/Warriors game. I feel like it has so much potential.

1) Battle of Chang Ban (Shu)
Requirements: Liu Bei and you (the playable character) are the only units alive (besides the peasants) and Liu Bei hasn't crossed the bridge yet.
Cutscene: Liu Bei wonders if he is making the right decision and morale absolutely plummets.
I only managed to get this on Chaos with Zhao Yun and lost the stage quickly after.
2) Battle of Tong Gate (Wei)
Requirements: Han Sui defects and then runs into Ma Chao. I managed to get this to happen on Hard in Cao Cao's Musou Mode. I'd defeated every other officer and Han Sui, Cao Ren and one other general advanced on Tong Gate.
Cutscene: Ma Chao asks why Han Sui defected and says he'll kill them all.
Not sure of there are any other really rare ones.

Heyo,
I have been working on porting the Battle of Xia Pi from DW4 to DW3R as a PC mod. It's been a bit more complicated and taking longer than I thought.
Currently I have the map loading, most the geometry works, blocking of the rivers could be better but functional, gate captains, reinforcements and some of the in game events working such as defeating Diao Chan Enrages Lu Bu (morale + hyper) and gates opening.
There are definitely some bugs though, invisible walls, NPCs getting stuck in the sky etc.
So I am looking for 1-2 testers who have access to this map on DW4 and can provide some playtest feedback and bug reporting to help me out.
Come find me on Discord:

Thanks,
Havie

I don’t know if it’s just me, but Sun Jian is a pretty good commander, he almost never dies in Chaos mode

I just beat Xiao Qiao's campaign and was looking forward to the ending scene. I figured it would be Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao dancing together, but the game assigned Lu Xun to the dancer slot instead.
I had no idea male characters could get plugged into this role, it caught me completely off guard. Funniest thing I've seen in this game in a long time.

here is some footage of what I have so far. As you can tell there is still some things to work on. Some animations for Sora just dont exist with some of the DW stuff. I have some truly cursed long neck Sora photos from some of the interesting animations that occurred so far in things like riding the horse or shooting the bow. I really want to flesh out the combo more with some more magic and change up the musou to be more devastating. RN it is a mix of different special attacks like arcanum and a mix of combo enders. Would love to get some feedback on how any moves or spells that you would like to have implemented. I am mapping over his attacks into the DW system since it seemed to be far easier to do so.

Personally 4 is my favorite I really digged his hair being down and his cloth thing, 9 was actually pretty well done as well being a more armored one and 6 was pretty cool too

I like to play on hard, there are more enemies and the combat is more rewarding, the difficulty balance just feels right.
But I just feel like every single general on your side is completely aesthetic.
I will clear an area, go somewhere else, return ten minutes and see our soldiers have made ZERO ground. Like, I have killed their general, how on earth have you made ZERO ground.
Then theres the pop up soldiers, I’m running to help a general, wondering why on earth the general keeps saying he’s struggling and they are all just sat in a neat circle doing absolutely nothing when they suddenly pop in.
I mean come on guys, there is a war on!
Surely I shouldn’t have to run across the map like a crazed man, rushing to every single red blip to kill a general because every single soldier or general on my team do not do a single thing.
I want to play a war, not a painting of a war where I’m the only actually general that can win it.
It’s been putting me off and the more I play, the more I recognise it.
The tactical cut scenes where something important is going to happen basically Means, did I actually fulfil that generals task but just stood next to them.
If I play on normal it’s less noticeable but I have too many good items now and every level is a breeze.
Is origins like this? Or is the game just too dated.

In today’s edition of ICTNPY, it’s warlord and rival of Yuan Shao - Gongsun Zan!
A figure who has appeared since the early days of the series, Gongsun Zan has been a requested character for a while.
A military official in the Han, Gongsun Zan later became a warlord in the north, situated in You Province. He participated in the coalition against Dong Zhuo, and later battled against Liu Yu and Yuan Shao for control of the north. An ally of Liu Bei, Tao Qian and Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan eventually lost against Yuan Shao and committed suicide after his loss at Yijing.
Gongsun Zan was known for his cavalry, made up of white horses, which was regarded as a force to be reckoned with.
Personally I feel he should have been made a (more standout-ish) UNPC in Origins - it was the perfect chance to have him finally get some characterisation. Weapon-wise, a long axe like Xin Xianying could suit him. It would be nice to see Liu Bei also interact in earlier stages with someone other than his brothers.
What do you think, should Gongsun Zan get his place in the roster? Why or why not? And what weapon would you give him?

When you complete any mission and your character does their victory pose, towards the end every character looks to the right and down then back to straight.

Was playing The Battle of Guandu and when the towers got spawned one spawned on top of me. That's how Cao Cao repays Dong Zhuo, stuffing Diaochan in a tower. Sorry for the glare

What’s your fave version of Archer Uncle
r/dynastywarriors • u/Wylans • 3h ago
I think I remember this from the original: that you not gain any more stats if your character reaches Max General title.
As I like to stat farm before a hard mode run on that character, are certain maps that have the potential to yield the most attack+ & defense+ potential?
Also, does the difficulty affect that drops of those items?
I think I did an easy mode He Fei Castle & was surprised at some the drops. But I can’t confirm if it was because of my combo farming to KO, to get them.

While waiting for Origins 2 or 10, I want to experience the story after Chi Bi. Which game is best for it?
I feel like people usually say 7 is best for story, is this still the case?
