XAI: Character Skills, Levels & Offices

This XAI module covers your character's skills, levels, new leadership scale and the offices they hold. It is a required module, for other modules.

XAI is a core improvement mod and designed to fix most of the vanilla issues that are present in the game. XAI modules are designed and balanced to work together as a complete mod. Its main purpose for being modular is easy adoption for other modders, easier troubleshooting, and updating.

I played Bloodfist's Skills mod and absolutely loved how he changed the skill trees for characters. I have however, made significant changes for the XAI Campaign and Battle AI. Levels of "perks" have been cut in half and many re-aligned to create better characters while keeping them more realistic and preventing them from being over-powered.

Leadership Scale: Authority, Zeal, Cunning
Completely revamped to make sense for general's spies, hero's, and priests. This includes boosts to melee defense, offense, armor, evasion, spotting on campaign map and battle map, movement range, aura, cooldown rate of specials, etc, etc..(WARNING this part of the mod overrides vanilla completely and may not be compatible with other leadership mods, if they do not use the submod format by renaming their subdirectory)

Troop Training reduced from vanilla to be realistic and to emphasize battlefield experience. Troop training is also provided through the use of the Dynamic stances module and the THARBBG module. This gives the AI unit experience as well as you without having to have an agent present.

Army Traditions
Mostly untouched at this time other than lowered bonuses, I decided to add faction deployable packs to many level 2 perks. They are spread throughout the tree with no more than 3 packs available.

Spies, priests, and Heroes have been reduced to prevent spamming and to increase the value of each unit. I have also increased their visibility ranges to compensate for the fewer number of them. Their visual ranges will also go up with the leadership scale points.

Character level skill points will be mostly 2 points with 3 points saved for the elitist of units to encourage specialization of characters.

Generals: I gave all morale boosts to the generals directly though leveling. Generals are now pretty tough and receive worth while boosts per level. Depending on how you build their individual skills, they can be better attackers, defenders, or have great armor. (Warning!! I use Skidvar's ranks and ancillaries mod (the THARBBG module) to provide the General's special abilities for the battlefield. They are NOT provided through the leadership scale as in vanilla)

The faction leader has a pretty good boost in gravitas per turn now and will be a much better leader to deal with all the situations that arise.

(NEW - Major revision)
Political offices -
Removed previously held office requirements, only age rank and term of office are required. Plus! benefits are now based soley on the rank of your character, and will grow as the character gains rank.

Leaders will have some new benefits, however, benefits will be the same for all leaders.

Offices in factions that can horde, will now have at least one horde benefit.

All single position offices, true positions of power, are mostly faction wide benefits with few local benefits. Offices with multiple seats have only governed province and commanded army based benefits.(exception is the Huns)

Offices requirements will now vary according to your heritage (eastern,horde,roman,barbarian)

Character Levels are now all the same. It will now take a much longer time to get UBER spies, heroes, and religious icons.
