Hordes of Chaos Expanded

This mod expands and adjusts the Warriors of Chaos Warband Upgrade System, and changes several Gifts of Chaos options. The goal was to allow Warriors of Chaos the entirety of the Mono-God Races, while maintaining lore-friendliness and official implementation.
All daemonic warband upgrades require their respective Branding Iron technology across all Warriors of Chaos factions. This means that Champions of Chaos LL’s will have them available by default, Undivided Mortal factions will have to research them, and Be’lakor has had this effect moved off his unique technologies, getting them earlier than in Vanilla. All units should be properly affected by skills/techs/etc. where applicable.

Known Issues

• Bloodbeasts of Khorne and Changebringers still appear in the Gifts of Chaos Mercenary Recruitment Pool despite no longer being accessible that way. Low priority fix.
