Promotions
I really enjoyed how Sombre used the promotion mechanic on a couple nations in his Warhammer mod, and thought it could be fun on several vanilla nations too.
So i made this little mod, as a starting point.
It adds said promotion mechanic, mainly to living troop units.
Promotions for undead troops have been added in a seperate mod, included in this download so players can use undead promotions, or leave them off.
Or only use promotions for the undead.
Other nations, as well as eventually some commander promotions might come in future versions.
This mod is very likely not balanced at all, and probably not a good addition for "serious" multiplayer games.

— Several underwater indies had promotions added as well, Merrow, Amber Clan and Tritons
— Ichtyids can now be romoted as well, however they need to be brought to a lab province, so they don’t lose their nets by accident

— Version 1.2 – The Undeath Update
— Added promotions to the undead of the Ermor Line of Nations (MA Ermor and Sceleria, LA Lemuria)
