+20% Casualties in Autoresolve (no AI impact)

Even on Very Hard, the autoresolver is usually too nice for my liking. In the late game especially, it becomes very difficult to justify fighting battles manually when difficult fights autoresolve with Low casualties.

I've also uploaded a configurable version where you can use MCT to set it to any value you want from 0% to 90%

This simple mod bumps up the difficulty by making the player take 20% more casualties in autoresolve engagements. with the exception of siege defense battles.

• +20% casualties is much lighter a penalty than most mods I've seen.
  
• This mod doesn't change its impact based on difficulty. The impact is the same on all difficulties.
  
• This mod doesn't restrict autoresolve use whatsoever
  
• This mod is a single highly compatible simple script and modifies no database values, UI, or existing scripts.
  
• This mod leaves siege defense autoresolve alone to prevent manual siege defense slogs

---

This mod does not modify any database values and is compatible with anything that doesn't use modify_next_autoresolve_battle() in scripts to change the autoresolve balance.

The load order will never matter, and it is save-game compatible (although it will not apply the effect until you engage in a new battle from the campaign map)

Let me know if you like this and I can make more versions, or make this configurable. I considered modifying this depending on the armour, gold value, and missile strength of the player army, but decided to go with a very simple approach instead.
