Empire Unit Mod - Version 3

For those of you who are playing Total War: Warhammer 3, I am converting my mods here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2948658363

Welcome to the Empire Unit Mod - Version 3!

In this version I have removed Fitted Halberdiers as I felt a heavily armored halberd unit did not suit how the Empire has been portrayed in the lore. However, I have added a new cavalry unit.

The purpose of this mod is to provide an Empire player with more options in battle. The first unit is Empire Knights (Swords and Shields) which come from the Empire Army Book 7th Edition. The book stated that knights could use a hand weapon and a shield. The purpose of this unit is to give the Empire a cavalry unit in the early and mid-game that is more suited for melee. It has a higher attack, does more damage, and has a quicker rate of attack than normal Empire Knights, but is far less effective when charging.

The next unit, Empire Dwarf Quarrellers, is also derived from Empire Army Book 4th Edition. It described how there were many dwarfs living in the Empire, and that they could use crossbows and shields. I wanted the Empire to have an additional missile unit available to them in the late game so they could be more competitive. The advantage of shielded crossbowmen is that they have a greater staying power against factions that have missile weapons that have more range or do more damage, like the High Elves and Dark Elves.

The units can be recruited by all Empire factions, is affected by the Empire technology tree and are not available as garrisons because the existing garrisons for various factions have been balanced alongside one another, and I do not wish to disrupt that. Their statistics are also developed for the vanilla game. The units are as follows:
