Zukhani's Illyrian Overhaul

Description
It was always strange that CA never bothered to give any Balkan tribes sicas, especially Illyrians who were famous for using them against the Romans. So instead of only adding new units I also reworked some existing ones.

Stats for Sica (Balkan Sword)
- 35 Damage (25 Base, 10 AP)

Reworked Units:
- Illyrian Marines - wield sicas instead of spears and use precursor javelins to make Illyrian Thureos Spears more useful, making them cheap and powerful sword units.
- Illyrian Raiders - wield sicas instead of axes.

New Units:
- Illyrian Horse Raiders - sica wielding melee cavalry with precursor javelins able to cut down light infantry very quickly. Recruitable in Horse Farms 3.
- Illyrian Noble Cavalry - equipped in similar style to hoplites these horsemen are much tougher than their counterparts. Recruitable in Horse Farms 4 and also as generals.

Other changes:
- New look for some Illyrian units. Mercenary versions are also changed.
- Slave Javelinmen and Slave Slingers are recruitable from base town buildings

Intended for Grand Campaign only. Illyria : Ardiaei, Daorsi, Dalmatae, and associated rebels.

Great mod! Really good re-work with the Illyrian Marines, the extra care with the new correct unit card is amazing as well.

@Alcartagena
Searched around, couldn't find it.

@Nummer90
Already did, it is small, but I plan on making it bigger.

Once I am satisfied with individual mods I will combine them into one.

Hey Zukhani, if you're interesed CA actually created a Sica model for Total War Arena and it works with Rome 2.

Your Balkan reworks are looking great! Will you also make one for The Getea?

When you are done with several unit overhauls, could you please put them all in one since i have limited amount of other mods. Regards Matthew :)
