More Standard Bearers - Increase View Distance of Banners

Adds more standard bearers to all melee units. Each unit has 6 standard bearers at the front. You can also see banners from further away.

Pharaoh does bearers differently than 3K, I think they're similar to the Rome II implementation. Since it's not using the 3K implementation it doesn't understand how to place them randomly in the unit, but the standard bearers usually spread out a bit during and after combat so they don't die on the charge.

Every non-general melee unit should have a standard bearer, and I did my best to separate the egyptian themed ones from the hittite themed ones (put the hittite bearers with the canaanites and sea peoples)

I didn't want to bury myself in work trying to make the closest matches for each unit, so some of the armor variants might look off. Example: hittites don't have any standard bearers lower than medium

This mod should not affect fps. Like TROY, this game is pretty optimized. However, if anyone with low-spec PCs see that far banners are causing issues, let me know.

-creates entries in battle_personalities_tables to cover for all infantry speed types
-copies standard bearer entries to officer 2, standard bearer 2, musician 1, musician 2 in table land_units_officers_tables
-adds officer entries referenced from land_units_officers_tables to land_units_tables officer column
-deletes low poly filename and very low poly filename entries in variants_tables

I'm not thinking of updating this with anything too special since other creators are filling niches that this mod doesn't cover, and I'm sure that by doing what I did to the vanilla db tables to their mods you can achieve the same effect.

Easy mod to pick apart. Easy mod to change. Follow the variants_tables>battle_personalities_tables>land_units_officers_tables>land_units_tables reference flowchart.
