ARS - Improved Promotions v1.4

In my experience, the vanilla promotion trees were both unbalanced and uninteresting. Some skills were very strong, while others were all but useless. There were skills that had handy effects, but were crippled by overly specific limitations on where they were effective. Additionally, there were times where no choices were of particular value and the promotion was just a stepping stone to the next tier skill. This all led to repetitive gameplay where the same selections were nearly always picked.

I set out to make sure that whenever a unit was promoted, there would always be an interesting choice to be made. A variety of specializations would be available right from the start. These specializations would be applicable in multiple situations, not just some rare niche cases. Alternately, generic +3 combat boosts are available. Not as potent as specializations, but universally helpful. I strived to keep all skills on a relatively similar power level. The more specific the scope, the stronger the boost.
