Beastmen Raid Stance Replenishment

This mod makes it so that Beastmen hordes, both player owned and AI owned, now replenish at very mild rates while in the raid stance.

-----------------------------------------------
It makes the following changes:

Beastmen raid stance now has a replenishment rate of 5. For reference, default horde encampment has a replenishment rate of 10. Therefore, raiding replenishes forces at 50% of the rate an encampment would.

-----------------------------------------------
Compatibility:

This mod should work with just about anything. This is because instead of changing an existing line in the database, IE, like making a unit's stats better, it is actually adding a separate entry. So instead of changing something, I am adding it. You're more exhaustive overhaul mods may or may not work, but if there are mods that overhaul the Beastmen economy they will be compatible. This is a very, very small mod.

Also, because this is merely injecting the replenishment effect (at less magnitude) into the raid stance, anything that affects said replenishment rate such as moon phases, research, events, and other mods, should work fine. If anything affects the replenishment effect, it effects this too.

-----------------------------------------------

Beastmen are strong, very strong. But personally, I became bored of the 'attack, raze, encamp, repeat' that was happening all too often. It was too similar to my chaos game. Granted, the moons help change the rhythm, but man, I just got tired of encamping all the time. My anal retentive needs required I be at max health whenever possible. It's a personal failing, I know.

So now minor casualties and wounds can be replaced in the raid stance. It's not a very strong effect, in one turn a unit of 141 ungors when to 150 (with the first tier of replen research complete), but its better than nothing and helps keep me from being bored on the campaign map. It's more fun to raid! I actually raid now! Whereas before I would be like 'why bother' when there is a town right there?

From a balance point its easier, of course, but not too bad. You still have to encamp to build. You're winded while raiding. You're not able to ambush. The AI is affected too, so maybe AI hordes will live longer. If you think this is OP then I guess this isn't for you. At the same time, the replenishment rate isn't too high. If you take heavy losses you're going to have to wait it out in your hidden encampment.

From a lore standpoint it's not all that unreasonable that a raiding warherd would attract local beastmen to the cause. If I heard a herd (heh) was nearby and raiding I'd want in on the action too.




Enjoy. I'm not big on feature creep or anything, plus this seems about all the campaign/economy tweaks I need for the fighting manbearpigs.
