Aksum Shotel (DEI version)

Description
**This is a feature included in my AfricaFix (DEI version) mod.

Greetings.

I love Divide et Impera for its attention to historical accuracy. That being said, the history nerd in me hates that the shotel unit is available to Medewi and not available to Aksum, the people who INVENTED it. In all my research, I can't find any instances of the shotel being used outside of Ethiopia/Eritrea. Yet and still, the unit was included in the vanilla game because it looks cool.

This mod does three things...
1) Renames the unit to Shotelai (Shotel Warriors) using Ge'ez language of the Aksumites
2) Makes the unit require the Ethiopia Area of Recruitment resource
3) Makes the unit available to ALL factions in the game (you just a need a level two barracks on Ethiopian soil)
4) Gave the unit the sickle weapon and adjusted a few stats



Also, if Dresden and the awesome DEI team are listening, Aksum should have the Desert Nomadic. That region hadn't been under Egyptian influence since the New Kingdom. Many of their gods came from south Arabia.

thanks. I've been away for a minute now that school has started back up, but I may revisit some other units in the future.

Love this! Is there any possibility of you making further unit mods in the future? I would really love to see Athens given some elite marines

Unit is way too cheap for those stats
