Barbarian Prince Mod

Description
This mod gives the Barbarian class an overhaul that buffs much of the faction. The class main commander has been split into two versions of varying availability and has been given two tiers of rituals. The first allows them to convert captured remote hamlets into new war camps. The second offers the capacity to forge an alliance with each of the four amazon queens. Amazons gain sundry infantry buffs, new cavalry units, and unique (watch out for this in all-barbarian games) tier 3 spellcasters that offer a dramatic increase in relevant tribe recruitment offers when allied with. All normal Barbarian infantry gain forest stealth. Werebears are made significantly more available via recruitment and an Enarie ritual. Ancestral warriors/lancers/archers receive the same stats and abilities as their mortal counterparts, where convenient. Many Enarie rituals are now cheaper, and the secondary starting commander is a Spirit Guide. The c5m file is commented thoroughly and quite readable for the curious.

well, it displays the proper description now. still dont know why it wasnt before, or why the fix worked (i moved the line about the description to a different part of the block defining the ritual). the other rituals in the mod are formatted the same way and work fine, very mysterious, but no longer my problem as far as i can tell

odd. there is a description for the ritual, its just not showing up. ill have to figure out why

regarding the barbarian leader, the idea is sort of that you can hire one of these guys and a turn of warriors just about anywhere anytime to deal with small indie problems. you can have more than one prince pretty easily but theyre not quite the sort to easily be everywhere themselves, i feel

I appreciate the easy access this mod grants to my favorite weed-smoking girlfriends, the amazons.
Some assorted comments:
1) Changing out the cavalry commander for the Spirit Guide hurts early expansion a bit, but it's worth it for herb access.
2) The amazon alliances are very cool and very worth it.
3) The 'Mark of the Bear' ritual doesn't have a description.
4) Recruitment offers for Barbarian Leaders feel redundant with the Barbarian Prince offers. I think the leader could be cut entirely.
5) The Garnet Gryphon Riders are very cool, but their sprites look too small for their size.
6) Onyx Amazons may be too good without slow, and would still be good if they were hired in smaller amounts (5 maybe?).

Overall cool mod!

Congrads, this is one of the few mods that isn't insanely unbalanced. very impressed.
