Zolton's Tweaks - Mounted Unit Changes

This mod makes changes to the upgrade paths of Mounted Units.

This mod is an effort to make Knights, Lancers, and Cavalry more interesting and appealing by merging Lancers into the mounted line. The new upgrade path now looks like this:

Horseman -> Knight -> Lancer -> Cavalry -> Landship -> Tank -> Modern Armor

Knights, Conquistadors, and Mandekalu Cavalry now upgrade to Lancers. However, Camel Archers, Keshiks, and Naresuan's Elephants are unchanged, and still upgrade to Cavalry. This split is because the latter 3 units are arguably stronger units than Lancers, and upgrading them to Lancers would not be desirable.

All Lancer units (Lancer, Hakkapeliitta, Sipahi, and Winged Hussar) now upgrade to Cavalry. Unlike some of the Knight units mentioned above, these units only get stronger when upgraded to Cavalry.

I recommend pairing this mod with my "Pikemen to Musketmen" mod. This is not required, but the two mods complement each other well.

Note: The unique promotions of these units, like the Winged Hussar's "Heavy Charge" ability, are kept upon upgrade. This may have the effect of increasing the strength of Cavalry and Tanks, which is sorely needed anyway.
