Mercenary Army Type v1.2

Mod that adds buildings for the recruitment of mercenary units.

This mod creates a building line for your "normal" professional army, where the normal faction units can be recruited, furthermore it creates the mercenary army building line , where region specific mercenary units can be recruited. Balancing is created by the option between the 2 types, it is either but never both.

Features:
- Professional army type:

• Law bonus increase with every level of the professional army type building.
  
• "Normal" units are recruitable in military infrastructure buildings.

- Mercenary army type:

• Trade bonus increase with every level of the mercenary army type building.
  
• Mercenary units are recruitable in military infrastructure buildings.
  
• Pre-Marian roman units are recruitable in Italy by the roman factions after the Marian reforms.
  
• Mercenary numidian units are recruitable in north Africa by the carthaginian faction.

- Balancing:

• Switching to a different army type is only posible when there are no military infastructure buildings build within the settlement.

This mod is still in development so there are some slight bugs/kinks to work out.


-----------------------------------

Some help with getting to this mod to work / how this mod works:
Both sets of amy buildings are only buildable when the right army type building is built. The normal set of army buildings are always avalible from the beginning of the campain even with our the "normal" army type building (probably in future versions all setlements will start with this army type building already built). To change to the mercenary army type (or back to the normal type), demolish all military buildings (barracks, stables, archery range and army type building). Next build the prefered army type building (mercenary or "normal" professional). Now the prefered buildings will be avalible.

-----------------------------------

Possible future updates:

• I would like to change the buildingtree to make the use of this mod more intuitive.
