Hattori Fix for Better Ambush Deployment

Description
This mod is included in Shogun 2 Enhanced.

This is a fix for an 8 year old mod, which I had re-uploaded to Workshop 3 years ago, damn.

Since Better Ambush Deployment mod breaks guerrilla deployment in ambushes, it nerfed Hattori quite a bit, ironically making them worse at what should have been their best. The only way I've seen to fix that is to remove guerrilla deployment ability altogether, which The Rights of Man 3 team have done. As with TROM3, this mod replaces guerrilla deployment with Paths Seldom Trot ability for Hattori (and related, see below) units. The new ability allows units to lay ambush anywhere on the campaign map, not just forests.

Its actual impact would probably be minimal though, as it requires all units in the army to have this new ability. Having even a single unit without this ability in your army (such as cavalry, which importantly includes GENERALS) reverts the ambush rules to default. So I also reduced the upkeep for Hattori ashigaru and samurai units, as they had higher upkeep than their peers. These should make Hattori more viable, the new ability can also open up new strategies for the player to compensate for removal of guerrilla deployment.

Should be compatible with almost everything, also works on existing save games. It doesn't really require Better Ambush Deployment, but there is very little reason to use this without that.

If you enjoy this mod, rate it! Rating brings more subscribers and (hopefully) more feedback, which'll lead to better mods. Check my workshop for similar mods that enhance the vanilla game.

The great Yarkis de Bodemloze and TROM3 team on TWC for the idea. Honestly what I'm doing is mostly dividing TROM3 into smaller pieces, softening some of the changes they made, occasionally making tweaks here and there and keeping things Workshop compatible.

Sorry if I am being dumb right now but if the Ambush mod breaks Guerilla Deployment, how can removing Guerilla Deployment be considered a fix exactly? Especially since the new trait added cannot be used 99% of the time, since there's usually a general present in any army of meaningful size.

Am I misunderstanding or is all this mod does remove one trait and replace it with a different never-utilised trait, making the game feel exactly the same?

What I mean is, in Vanilla in every normal battle, Hattori units can deploy every close to the enemy giving them a huge advantage. With Guerilla Deployment removed, this is entirely gone? Or does the new trait allow this behaviour while also fixing ambush deployment with the other mod?
