[Obsolete w/ New WE DLC] Wood Elves Elite Unit Amber Rebalance

Hello all! This mod will be obsolete with the new Wood Elves changes. I will leave it up for the time being to allow those of you who are finishing up campaigns with old saves!

This very small features a lore friendly rebalance of the Amber system for 4 Wood Elf units. It simply removes the amber cost for two "elite" units for each WE faction, Orion and Durthu. I chose the most lore friendly, basic, yet helpful units for each side.

Orion now has amber-free access to:
Great Eagle
Hawk Riders

Durthu now has amber-free access to:
Glade Riders
Wardancers

This should give Orion access to the basic flying units. High elves have access to eagles, so it makes sense that the Wood Elves/Orion would without penalty. Simalrly, Hawk Rider make sense as Eagle-like creatures ridden by the Wood Elves themselves.

Durthu gains some ground based mobility and flexibility. The Glade Riders fit as Durthu already has access to Hawk Riders, another animal mounted unit ridden by Elves. Wardancers are infamous in the lore for roaming deep forest away from Wood Elf communities, and are only one step up from the most basic Wood Elf infantry.

Compatibility:

It is Compatible with almost any mod, as long as it does not edit the tables setting the Amber cost of those 4 units.
I recall it is Save-game compatible, but not 100% positive as Steam wiped mod descriptions during the Total War mod launcher update.
