Grand Order of the Reiksguard

"Reiksguard Knights, your Emperor is calling! Death or glory await us, but if we die, we will die as warriors, with swords in hand, and there can be no better death than that."
—Kurt Helborg, The Reiksmarshal.

Though known mostly for their expertise in cavalry warfare, the Reiksguard are normally divided into a mounted arm known as the Reiksguard Knights, or the Imperial Cavalry, and an infantry arm, that they called the Imperial Foot.

This mod aims to give Reikland all the Reiksguard units from the lore :

• Imperial Foot (Sword and Shield) – They now replace the Carroburg Greatsword as the Reikland Elector Count Unit
• Imperial Foot (Halberds) – Anti-Large variant, they are available via Units Upgrade
• Imperial Foot (Greatsword) – Armor-Piercing variant, they are available via Units Upgrade
• Reiksguard Inner Circle – A Demigriph Knights RoR available at the Palace Reiksguard

For more uniqueness a few tweaks have been made :

• Reiksguard units now have a new unique Skill
• As one of the best trained order of the Empire, all cav now have the lance formation
• Imperial Foot (Halberds) have access to an Imperial Phalanx formation
• Zintler’s Reiksguard is now a melee cavalry, it seemed more fighting as they are meant to ambush
• Carroburg Greatswords are now a RoR available at lvl7 with a last stand formation
• To prevent Deathballs, Reiksguard untis are capped, that cap can be improved by building Reiksforts and the Reiksguard palace. EC unit is not included in the cap.

Units are balanced for vanilla, feel free to comment if it feels off.
