Better Dwarf Miners

In the tabletop game, Dwarf Miners are a good way to put a normally slow unit of Dwarf Warriors on the flanks of an enemy force. In addition, the fluff says that Dwarf Miners and Dwarf Warriors come from the exact same background, being a worker in peacetime but able to muster into a capable military force as easily as flipping a switch. Here, Dwarf Miners are the single cannon-fodder unit that Dwarves have, being far inferior to Dwarf Warriors in melee combat instead of a way to create a new battleline where an enemy won't expect. This mod is meant to fix that by buffing the capabilities of Miners so that they can hold their own against Warriors.

This mod also improves the Excavators that come from the Dwarf Characters Expansion mod. This instead tries to make Excavators equivalent to Longbeards and Unrad's Excavators equivalent to a mixture of Hammerers and Ironbreakers. The Dwarf Character's Expansion is not required for this mod to function, if you don't want to use the Expansion then this mod will still work just fine.

Dwarf Miners are no longer a roadblock unit and are instead a melee counterpart to Rangers, having similar stats to Dwarf Warriors with Great Weapons but less leadership, health, melee defence and armor but more speed, just like how Rangers compare to Quarrelers. In combination with Rangers, they can be used as a way to deploy an infantry line that trades some resilience for versatile deployment options. While they don't have Stalk, they can still creep through forested maps without being seen just like Rangers and the lack of Stalk can even be used to your advantage through leaving the Miner unit visible, but not the Ranger unit nearby. Making them have lower armor, health, melee defence and leadership compared to Warriors is so there would still be reason to use Warriors over Miners.
