Bleu's Unit XP Bonuses Rebalance

This mod slighly alters bonuses given to units at different experience levels.

Battles in vanilla shogun 2 tend to be quite short due to ashigaru spam, low morale and a multitude of sources for bonus damage. On top of that, high level ranged units, especially samurai, tend to pack a mean punch comparable to katana samurai. This means that a General cavalry unit can lose to bow ashigaru if its level is high enough.

Changes aim to decrease unit attack bonuses when compared to the vanilla values in order to improve the feel and flow of battles. Additionally, reload and accuracy bonuses are very slightly increased at the very highest levels of experience in order to account for the loss in attack power.

Refer to the encyclopaedia for the full bonuses given by XP.

Changes are as follows:

Melee Attack:
XP 0: 0
XP 1: 1
XP 2: 1 (from 2)
XP 3: 2 (from 3)
XP 4: 2 (from 4)
XP 5: 3 (from 4)
XP 6: 3 (from 5)
XP 7: 4 (from 6)
XP 8: 4 (from 6)
XP 9: 5 (from 7)

Ranged Accuracy
XP 8: 17 (from 16)
XP 9: 20 (from 18)

Reload Skill
XP 4: 9 (from 8)
XP 5: 12 (from 10)
XP 6: 15 (from 12)
XP 7: 18 (from 14)
XP 8: 21 (from 16)
XP 9: 25 (from 18)
