Cho's Improved Faction & Legendary Lord Flavor

Updated to work for both live and 6.3 beta versions
* due to a temporary workaround any changes and additions involving spell mastery are currently disabled until 6.3 goes live.

This mod aims to improve Faction and Legendary Lord starting effects and traits to feel more flavorful.

The aim is to add a bit more unique feeling to each for more varied gameplay when picking a different faction of the same race.

Almost every faction has had some additions to either their Faction effect or the LL's trait or in some cases both, certain LL defeat traits has also been improved slightly for the ones that felt really boring or borderline useless.

For Legendary Lord defeat traits, one example that stands out would be Ghorts who know has got Isabella's old defeat trait baked into his(lackluster) trait of Poison attacks, so it will now be a more valuable trait since it grants Regeneration effect to the Lord who gets it.

Old existing LL and Faction effects has been slightly improved as well as brand new effects having been added.
Legendary Heroes also will be included in this mod for adjustments when needed, so far only the Green Knight(who finally has a starting trait when he spawns).
Other "special" heroes, such as Henri le Masif has had some improvements to their starting traits for those that has set ones.

A work in progress to implement adjustments to race specific mechanics such as Dark Elf "Names of Power" have had some of the traits they give improved in order to add more of a wortwhile variety rather then just a select few of the traineds gained having any meaningful gameplay and flavor impact.

The secondary goal has been to add more uniquness while not disturbing balance too much in order to still retain some of the vanilla feel with some improvements on top.
New effects have all been picked to try to play into the faction and LLs theme and/or lore in some way.

Some Rogue factions have got a bit of a look over, giving them access to more appropriate units and lead by better suitable lords and leaders.
A couple Rogue Pirate factions now also field more fitting starting units, for example such as the Bleak Coast Buccaneers(a Dwarf pirate rogue faction) now spawning with Slayer Pirates in their army.

Hopefully this should all contribute to some extra replayability within different factions in the same race besides just a different start location.

You can see some examples of the new and improved Faction and LL effects in the screenshots, but nearly every LL has recieved some touch ups.
