Improved Companion Cavalry

Description
This is a very minor mod that is meant to further distinguish Macedon from other Greek factions.

Although the Companion Cavalry unit is already unique to Macedon, and a pretty good one at that, I decided to make a few adjustments to the appearance, unit size and stats to give a greater edge to the player (or adversary) as I thought they died a little too easily, even when fighting against low-tier units like Hastati. Now they have much better staying power, and a truly devastating frontal charge when using diamond formation.

CHANGES

- unit size is now 120 in Ultra
- charge and defense stats are greatly improved
- Cavalry Testudo ability has been added
- appearance has been changed slightly
- cost has been increased accordingly
- takes 3 turns to create in Campaign to reflect training time.

Have fun!

Oh great. I agree about the times too, so I can understand your real life distractions from modding... I found a good & updated Spartan unit mod - not too much OP units, and a few cheap helot units early game. But I will be excitedly waiting to try yours when it is released.

Much appreciated! I'm going to get back to work on all these mods pretty soon. These have been preoccupying times, to say the least. I also have an unreleased Better Spartans mod that I'll be uploading shortly.

Really good mod, as well as your pike mod. Macedon is already well rounded in terms of available units, but what is supposed to be its strong suit always felt under-powered. And it is definitely more fun fighting macedon and seeing the AI recruit this and the pikes from time to time.
