Fire's Empire Rorke's Drift Riflemen Regiment

This mod adds the Rorke's Drift Riflemen Regiment to the Empire, a powerful, large and expensive unit that have high resistance to survive on the battle, they are trained to be one of the last survivors of the battle.
Armed with a fast reload special rifle, awarded to the regiment after their first important battle, they will fire salvos on far enemies and when the enemy reaches them, they will engage melee combat. They're dressed with British colonial infantry uniform.

Rorke's Drift Survivor: When they are on clear disadvantaje facing the enemy, their will of combat make them stronger as the time passes, making them fight harder, fire faster, move faster, and other improvements...

Excellent Melee Combat: They're as good as an strong melee unit on close combat.

Strong Against: Melee Infantry // Ranged Infantry // Small beasts

Weak Against: Artillery // Big Monsters // Strong Heroes

Combat Tip: Put them to fire at the enemy from the max distance, don't put them to skirmish. When the enemy reaches the regiment, don't click the melee button unless they're greatly surrounded, then the first line will get their swords and keep the enemy at distance, while the back lines will keep firing at the enemy, delivering more damage.

This regiment also features an branding officer! Armed with a sword and a fast reload pistol, he will be wearing british honour colonial Shoulder pads and a special adornation on the uniform neck.

The first appearance of this regiment to the Empire was on a battle against a huge horde of norscan warriors, where a handgunner troop was ambushed by the entire horde, many soldiers perished, but 150 soldiers made their way to a nearby small village, where they fortified against the norscans.
They resisted against the norscan charge, and at the end they were alive and killed more than 3000 norscan raiders, and the remaining norscans retreated to their original lands, ending the invasion. They were awarded as a Honoured Regiment of the Empire and with their special rifles. Now all the men that enter this regiment must pass through the hardest training of all the Empire troops.

This unit does not enters Warhammer's Lore, as I don't have a good knowledge of him, so don't expect lore explications!

The cost is very high for a squadron (4000 coins) for balancing their power of turning the entire course of a battle, that can already be expected to a clear defeat!

It should be compatible with all mods, as it just adds a unit and not edit anything that other mods touch, but if you discover any issue please comment!
