Useful Ogre Big Names (Updated for OoD)

(OoD Update - PLEASE READ) I have updated the mod for the new dlc, reverting some of my changes if they make little sense/would be too cluttered with the new effect on top. Many Big Names' effects were changed, so quite a few of the mod pictures are no longer accurate, but are fine ingame. OoD seems to have also removed some of the vs-race Big Names except Dwarfs, Undead, and Greenskins (at least to my testing), so if there's overlong descriptions that I missed despite that, please let me know.

Even without taking into account the specific-race useless traits, a lot of the Big Names are utterly uninteresting (thanks for that +1 Control). This is an attempt to give them all a useful or fun niche, and to hopefully make them meaningful choices, rather than just picking whatever's least-bad. Both Generic and LL Big Names are affected, and the effects still try to keep to the theme of the unlock method. More difficult to obtain, or more situational-use Names will be appropriately scaled.

This mod is along the design lines of my better innate trait mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790490527), so expect these Big Names to be altered in that vein. Some are decent enough to be left unchanged or slightly nudged, and those omitted are noted below. If there are any of these that are not working, or are extreme outliers in strength, do let me know, as I am open to adjustment.

Unchanged (previously):
-Beastrider (Hunter)
-Bonechewer (Generic)
-Boommaker (Generic - and added back to Hunters)
-Longstrider (Generic)

Unchanged (OoD):
-Maw-that-Walks, Gore-Harvester, Ever-Famished (Skrag)
-Arsebelcher
-Bigbellower
-Boommaker
-Bonechewer
-Brawlerguts
-Campmaker
-Gore-Drenched
-Gorger Herder
-Grandfeaster
-Kin-Guard
-Magicfeaster
-Marrowmuncher

Unlisted in the above pictures (due to space) is Maneater, which was changed to: +5 melee attack for army against Men, +5% speed for army. All other changes are shown. Unfortunately, I can't do much about the 0-values from removing previous effects due to compatibility no-nos, but that's only a visual clutter thing.


Questions:

-Will this work fine if installed/uninstalled midgame?
Can be installed/uninstalled without issue, the values will update.

-Will this work with other mods/overhauls?
As long as they're not touching the same spots in 'campaign_effect_list_effect_junctions_tables' section (Big Name sections only), should be fine. I'm also running like 80 mods already without conflicts on this one.
