Greater Swords - Greatswords Overhaul

I've always liked great swords as they represent elite shock infantry for the empire, but their stats never really reflected that well. Using them felt more like a chore that didn't compare to Range Spam, but playing against them even on VH felt relatively easy.

With this mod, I focused primarily on stat changes to make them truly representative of elite infantry. Most adjustments were stat boosts, and I also added the Causes Fear attribute to help them manage fear interactions, as well as to enhance their performance against enemies who do not induce fear. Additionally, the RoR received an underutilized attribute called Executioner, which allows them to kill any single entity that is under 20% HP. Hopefully, these changes will help them earn their fearful reputation.

Executioner:
A unit with Executioner will execute single entity units in combat below a 20% hit points threshold.
Causes Fear:
This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership (-8) when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
