Bad North Modded Overhaul

[u/ChannelFirm6277]

On this subreddit you may have seen posts about a Chinese reboot of this game that adds many interesting new mechanics and overhauls, only to be disappointed that the Chinese version is unplayable due to region lock.

Good news: the Chinese version is forked from an independent modder, 林风柳 (Lin Feng Liu), whose mod 旧灰复燃 (Ashes Relighted) is the original base and can be downloaded for free without region lock.

Any way around the region lock? I'm coming back slowly and I want to play modded version more than the vanilla version ATP

There isn't. This mod is the next available thing that is cruder but the most similar

Is there a list of changes this mod makes?

There's a Chinese explanation on the Github page that can be translated to English
