LevelUp - Unit Medal Overhaul

Goal:

This mod overhauls the level up rewards for various unit types with the aim of increasing unit type identity by allowing them to excel in specific roles as they gain experience.
It achieves this through adding/rebalancing level up rewards for each unit type, focusing on ‘class’ specific style passives and abilities.
The goal is to provide a fair and ideally balanced experience that rewards players that manage to keep their troops alive to the higher experience levels, while spicing up combat and increasing the viability of high level but low tier units.

Compatibility:
Only the base game is required.
This mod is compatible with all base game Languages.
This mod overwrites the ‘core unit – type’ entries in the UnitTypes_Definitions.rpk and will not be compatible with any other mod that edits the same data.
Realistically this will only be mods that also edit the medals for units on a unit type by unit type basis i.e. all shock units, or all shield units.
