High Elf Trait Rework
This mod aims to make the High Elf traits more impactful on game-play, for all 60 Influence lords and 40 Influence heroes.
I wanted to make it so that whichever lord or heroes wound up in your recruit pool, you felt excited to recruit them and include them in your armies.
Only Vanilla abilities and attributes are used.
I have also re-worked Tyrions "Bloodline of Aenarion" unique skill line to be move tempting vs. "Defender of Ulthuan".
All Dedications are now buffed to be more interesting and impactful.
