More Useful Recon Units
This mod improves all recon units to be more effective in combat and provide better utility through the promotion tree.
– All recon units can move after attacking by default
– All recon units with a ranged attack unlock the Priority Target ability at Rifling tech, allowing them to attack support units inside a formation
– Moved skirmishers to Construction tech, and reduced their build cost by 20%
– Moved Rangers to Siege Tactics tech, reduced their build cost by 26% and reduced their ranged strength by 5, as well as requiring Niter
– Rebalanced the promotion tree to be far more impactful
