-Increased basic line infantry per army to be the majority of every army

-Reduced ranged infantry to be no more than 10%-20% for most armies with exceptions (e.g. High Elves/Wood Elves should have more)

-Changed ranged cavalry to be a support asset and not a unit spam like live version.

-Created multiple new roles to make distinctions that are more in depth than vanilla which creates diversity and incentives the AI to make balanced armies over just spamming the best unit it can afford.

-Set artillery to be no more than 5-10% for most armies

-Reduced chance of heroes being in any given army

-Reduced monster recruitment chance to 5-15% depending on the army and monster type

-Multiple templates for the AI to choose from so each army you face will still be different with each army specializing in a certain area e.g. some armies might have artillery and no monsters where another might have monsters and no artillery

-Specialized armies for certain legendary lords e.g. Duurthu for Wood Elves will make more monster units and infantry than your basic Wood Elf armies (yes, all the tables for WH1 are already in here since CA just had to add the new faction tables in for WH2)

The AI will still only be able to create units that it has the building availability to produce so sometimes you might run into spamming for some units here and there but that is typically rare especially once everyone has a good amount of territory.

-To make a unit mod compatible, change the cdir_military_generator_unit_qualities_tables entry for the added units to have the appropriate tag that I created:

Hel_infantry_heavy
Hel_infantry_medium
Hel_infantry_light
Hel_infantry_hybrid
Hel_infantry_fanatic
Hel_cav_heavy
Hel_cav_medium
Hel_missile_heavy
Hel_missile_light
Hel_arty
Hel_monster
Hel_monster_group
Hel_support
Hel_character
Hel_Lord
Hel_fly_heavy
Hel_fly_medium

Incompatible with mods that affect:
cdir_military_generator_template_ratios_tables
cdir_military_generator_unit_qualities_tables
cdir_military_generator_unit_group_overrides_tables

Savegame compatible:
Yes, but current AI armies won’t magically switch to the new templates until you kill them.
