Knights of The Round Belly: Remastered (Patch 4 ready)

# Background
In the year IC 2480, endless waves of Greenskins pouring from the Grey Mountains.
Bretonnia forces barely hold out against the Greenskins. Not enough manpower to defend against such an invasion on their own, and the Greenskins took over the region in The Wasteland. Feramand, the leader of the Bretonnia, has decided to hire seven Ogre mercenaries and send them to the Wasteland to help Bretonnian forces against the Greenskins.
The war waged on for months and months, many knights and peasants had died in the battle, but the seven mercenaries finally made a breakthrough and defeated the Greenskins.
Because of the valiant effort of the seven mercenaries, Feramand rewarded them with the title of the 'Knights of The Round Belly'.
Formerly mercenaries, these brute knights were given task to quest around the world to smite evils lurking on Bretonnia frontiers and her colonies. Although some dissenters say this was just a plan to get rid of them...

*Feramand = Louen Leounceur's predecessor.

# About this mod
Knights of The Round Belly is now back as a Warhammer 3 port. In this version, I have revamped how the ogres look with new high resolution textures, every Bretonnian factions can utilise this mod (old version used to work only with Louen, Morgiana, Alberic, and Repanse), and even there is a unique Mournfang mount for Louis himself. Old bugs like broken Grail Quest for the Ogre Champions were also squashed. If there’s no human player is playing a Bretonnian faction, the AI can use the mod as well.
Under the hood, I also redo the game programming using Typescript. I will release the SDK soon, but for now, you can use this mod source code to write your own Warhammer mod using Typescript if you’re interested (source code) https://github.com/admiralnelson/knights-of-round-belly-typescript

# Mod guide
There are 6 ogre paladins and 1 ogre lord scattered on the old world, keep in mind they're mortal and can permanently die if they never sipped from the Grail. Grail ogres are terrifyingly strong.
Each ogre will take 6 peasant slots and may rekt your economy, play your campaign slowly, build farms, and make sure to complete their vows.
Some ogres can only spawn once and only at specific locations on the map.
If you dismiss an ogre, they will be gone for good. So, it's a good idea to strengthen your economy before facing this dilemma.

Far factions like Alberic will probably take a while to discover these guys.


# Installation guide

# Mod compatibility

Probably crashing with following mods:
- Loreful Strategic Threat
Please report if these mods are working for you.

Anyone is welcome to write a compatibility extension/addon since I don't use those mods.

Because of how strong these ogres in late game, I don't really need to balance it for SFO or CTT.
I have implemented multiplayer netcode, I haven't tested it but from static analysis it should work because the script will try to sync if the ogre champion was spawned or there was a change in peasants resource count.
**IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use the mod with fresh, new campaign**
