Forsaken Freakish Mutations

On table top there is a rule for Forsaken called Freakish Mutations that is enabled if a unit is in base contact with one or more enemy units at the start of close combat. The mutations don't exactly translate to Total War as easily so I took some liberties but made them unique and interesting. They are balanced in a way to make the Forsaken more interesting to choose instead of mostly ignored. They don't become powerhouses but they do pack a little more punch.

Every Forsaken unit in the game gets the new ability.

This ability and the ability icon (partially, it is a reworked CA tech icon) were made by me. If you wish to use this in your mod or make edits please contact me here or on discord. The mod is small and really straightforward.

Any and all feedback is appreciated, especially about balance.
