Unit Experience and Veterans Overhaul

Veteran Units Combat Efficacy Overhaul

“Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.”

Description
This mod increases the battle efficacy of individual veteran units and the impact of veterancy ranks have on each new unit.

For every new rank or "level up", a unit gains the following additional stats:
+2 melee attack
+3 melee defence
+3 accuracy
+2 reload skill
+5 morale (!!!)

For example, a rank 3 unit would have +6 melee attack, +9 melee defence, +9 accuracy, +6 reload skill, +15 morale advantage over the recruit rank unit of the same name.

In battle, veteran units become much harder to break (rout or waiver) and deadlier in combat. The impact of experience is most prominent with missile cavalry, missile infantry, and melee cavalry units which tend to suffer lower casualties in battles if they are used right.

Applies to navies as well (hint: an artillery ship with gold chevrons is...scary).

(see screenshot of the differences between a bronze chevron unit vs a silver chevron unit vs a gold chevron unit)

BONUS: Mod also increases the impact of a senior and veteran general's command aura has on his troops.

Compatible with all mods, 1212, AoC, the Last Roman, Grand Campaign if placed on top of load order.
