S2TW Naval Mod v.1 - Overhaul, Tweaks, and Unit Pack

As I've promised in my earlier mod, S2TW Artillery Unit Pack, I shall make Nanban Trade Ships recruitable not only for Catholic Clans. Well, guess what: it took a year to get my lazy ass start working. But in the meantime, I decide to expand that mod to be more than a merely unit unlocker.

This mod is a Tie-in with the S2TW Artillery Unit Pack, it offers Naval Overhauls, with several new Units added.

NAVAL ASPECTS OVERHAUL
--------------------------------------------
- S2TW Ships Sinking Threshold Overhaul - Sinkable Ships
After the latest Patch, wooden S2 ships became stupidly hard to sink, even after taking tons of shots from European Cannon Galleons. With this mod, they should be sinkable again.

- Sailing Ship Wind Cooficients Overhaul - Sailing Ships would not sail against the wind.
Ever seen a Sengoku Bune chasing your ship against the wind at 20+ m/s like a speedboat? Now Sailing Ships would actually need wind; So, you will actually need to think about the Wind Direction. Full Speed could only be achieved by Wind Astern.

- Third Person Shooting Mode for Carracks, Caravels, and Cannon Mekurabune.
Yes, You can now shoot your ship cannons manually. Use WASD to direct ship's movement. Cannon Bune could even reverse.

- Chain Shot, Grape Shot, and Heated Shot for Ship Cannons
Yes, Alternate munition type from the old ETW-NTW are back. All Cannon-armed ship can use Grape Shot; Nanban Ships can use Chain Shot, and Japanese Mekurabune can shoot Fire Bolts.

- Additional Abilities
Banzai for Medium Bune, Wako Ships, and Sengoku Bune
Flaming Arrows for Heavy Bune, Sengoku Bune, and Nihon Maru.
Rally for Nihon Maru
Whistling Arrow for Heavy Bune, Wako Ships, Sengoku Bune, and Nihon Maru

- Ramming Attack for some ships
Do not actually sink ship, only gives short burst of speed, as no S2TW ships have underwater ram.

- Sailing Ships now have longer Campaignmap Range compared to Oared Vessels.
Oared Ships are notorious for their short range, mostly for the need of supplies to support the oarsmen.

- Morale Overhaul
Base Morale are set higher, and Retreating ships are easier to rally then get back to battle. However, Moral Hits and Shocks at 60% Casualty are more severe.

-Red Seal Ship Cannon
Red Seal Ship now carries 8 Cannons onboard, transforming them from overpriced Trade Bune no-one bothered to use, into effective Mini-Caravels wothy to be called the pinnacle of Japanese Naval Tech Tree

- Wako Medium Bune and Wako Trade Ship are Recruitable
Need Pirate Lair Province Specialty Building.

- European Ship Crews use Straight Swords rather than Katana
- The Black Ship, Nanban Trade Ship, Red Seal Ship, Trade Ships, and Wako Ships are Playable in Custom Battle.
- Increased Unit Cap for Cannon Bune and Fire Bomb Kobaya to 10.
- Matchlock Marines replacing Archers for O Ataka Bune.
- Heavy Matchlock Gunners replacing Archers for Red Seal Ships.

- Differing Types of Shipboard Cannons.
In Vanilla S2TW, all Black Ship and Nanban Trade Ship Cannons are the same. Now, it it differs depending on deck placement.
Black Ship have 16 Demi Cannons, 4 Saker, and 4 Falconet.
Nanban Trade Ship have 8 Demi Culverin and 2 Saker.
Cannon Bune have 8 Kouhou.
Red Seal Ship have 8 Falconets

PPS: If you use other Overhaul Mod that also modify Naval Stats before subscribing this mod: BE ADVISED, You will still get the New Units and Additional Abilities; but NOT The Mod Overhauls and Tweaks.

This is because Mods that are used earlier takes precedence over mods that are installed later.

So, It might be circumvented by, step-by-step:
1. Be sure you clear the Custom Battle Unit Selection from any units from mods.
2. Exit, then play again, but do not use the other overhaul mod.
3. Play a single Custom Battle.
4. Exit, then resubscribe your other overhaul mod.
5. Enjoy
