BUG FIXED : fixing GONGSUN ZAN can not use new skills in battles.
——————————–!!! IMPORTANT !!!————————————
A speed buff to cavalry actually works but in the UI, values are not shown.
This bug is related to the game itself, not to this mod.

(Accelerate type) good for using with cavalry speed-up mods
To all generic vanguards + GONGSUN ZAN, give a custom skill (warmonger) instead of ‘Final Rush’.
‘Warmonger’ skill adds two battle abilities : Follow me! and Saddle-born.
As a personal viewpoint, I think each hero-type and corresponding retinue should have a synergy in battles.
I mean, not only a relative stat-buff to the retinue (like ammo for archers.), but a dynamical thing.
For now, I think many people prefer a cavalry unit with a shield (mostly belongs to the commander class), because the speed of cavalry units is relatively slow (compared with other total war games) and at the same time archers’ damage is quite huge.
Therefore, most of red cavalry units are easily destroyed by blue range units.
Then, if vanguards has a skill which can buff speed & range defense, this problem can be solved (ability: Follow me!).
Additionally, I prefer a scene in which the vanguard rides in front of cavalry and charges to the enemy.
But in the game, if you give a hero a good horse item, the hero gains weight but losses speed. That makes generally cavalry out-speed heroes.
When a hero charges first, a benefit from formation destruction by using their nice charging stat can be expected. Therefore I think slower heroes not only make the game less fun but also demand additional control to players for getting effective results from charging.
So, I added a passive speed buff to vanguards (ability: saddle-born). considering speed values in usual horse items vary from 53~58 in the mean time, the fastest cavalry unit has 65 speed.
Probably, this mod has no issues with others unless they change db data about generic vanguards’ skill.
For now, a text tool-tip for ‘Follow me!’ in retinues is not shown correctly.
