Major Stage Coach Upgrades

Description
Inspired by the Better Stage Coach mod, this mod adds more upgrades to the Stage Coach that greatly increases maximum number of recruits each week, greatly increases roster size, and higher chances for upgraded recruits.
For a version with more subtle increases to number of recruits available and roster size: Minor Stage Coach Upgrades.

Features:
1. Stage Coach Network has one new upgrade to increase the maximum number of recruits available every week. The maximum used to be 7 heroes but now it is 16. The progression up to the maximum has also been adjusted to be more linear: (un-upgraded) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16.
2. Hero Barracks has one new upgrade to increase the roster size to 64. The progression up to the maximum has also been adjusted to be more linear: (un-upgraded) 10, 18, 26, 34, 42, 52, 64.
3. Experienced Recrutis now has 2 new upgrades that allow a chance for Level 4 and Level 5 heroes to spawn.
  1. Level 1 heroes have a 30% chance to appear, guaranteed if a Level 2 hero died in the last mission.
    Required upgrades: Skills 1, Armor 1, Weapon 1.
  2. Level 2 heroes have a 20% chance to appear, guaranteed if a Level 3 hero died in last mission.
    Required upgrades: Skills 2, Armor 2, Weapon 2.
  3. Level 3 heroes have a 15% chance to appear, guaranteed if a Level 4 hero died in last mission.
    Required upgrades: Skills 3, Armor 3, Weapon 3.
  4. Level 4 heroes have a 10% chance to appear, guaranteed if a Level 5 or Level 6 hero died in last mission
    Required upgrades: Skills 4, Armor 4, Weapon 4.
  5. Level 5 heroes have a 5% chance to appear, they have no guarantee and solely requires luck.
    Requires fully upgraded Guild and Blacksmith.
4. The maximum amount of Crystal Mercenaries, added by the Color of Madness DLC, has been increased from 4 to 8. This mod does not require Color of Madness. If you download this mod and do not have Color of Madness, it will still work.
5. In order to reasonably balance this mod, the cost for each stage coach upgrade has been increased by 33% (estimating up).

Fun mod, but I seem to be having some issue with it... Every now and again I come across an issue where I'll try adding heroes from the stage coach to my expanded roster, and then those heroes... will just flat-out disappear.
There doesn't seem to be an obvious cause for this happening; I tried adding a Hive to my roster one week and he simply vanished... So I decided to add the other Hive in the stage coach instead. He vanished to. Then a Man-at-Arms, Jester, Highwayman and Abomination... All of them disappeared.
The following week after a Ruins run I went to add a Man-at-Arms again, and it worked. Now it seems to be back to normal, but this isn't the first time I've had this happen and this weird occurrence also cost me a town event Harbinger a good while back. I have no idea what's causing this, but this is the only mod I currently have installed that has any impact on the Stage Coach or roster.

I fix it now by loading "level restriction removal mod" at the top of the list.

Both mods edit completely different files so I don't see how that's possible.

bug report: this mod disable the "level restriction removal mod" for some reason.
