Fizzle Boom's Unit Caps [Beta]

I'm looking for feedback on balance. This mod is somewhat complicated and difficult to keep track of, so I created a spreadsheet to show each unit's unit cap and how to increase it. Anyone can comment on it with suggestion to improve it.

This mod is my take on adding unit caps to all factions. My goal is to use unit caps to create more variety between factions of the same race. I used a large variety of methods to increase unit caps including regular building, landmarks, rare resources, and lord and hero skills. In general, low and some mid tier units remain unlimited, mid tier units and some high tier units have caps with multiple ways to increase them, and high tier units are locked behind landmarks, rare resources, or high level lord skills.

The empire has many regional units and unit caps for these units are increased by landmarks from their home province. Other unit caps are increased by regular buildings.
Unit caps for dwarves get a big increase from landmarks in their major holds and a small increase from generic buildings
Unit caps for Vampires are almost exclusively increased through lord skills. Mid tier unit caps are generally increased by redline skills and higher tier units are increased by Bloodline Vampire unique skills.
Unit caps for most Greenskin units are increased thru redline skills with some unit caps coming from rare resources.
Unit caps are mostly increased by their recruitment buildings. Pegasus and hippogryph knights can only be recruited if you have the right landmark.
Most unit caps are increased by skills, with some high tier units being locked behind rare resources.
No change

Unit caps in this mod are intended to be very strict. I want rare units to actually be rare even well into the late game. That was the goal, but I made up everything as I went along, so I may have been too harsh on some units and too lenient on others. Let me know your thoughts.

This mod nerfs every faction it touches significantly, but I haven't seen any major changes on the campaign map. If one of the factions I did't edit become too dominant, I may need to nerf them too.
