Dwarven Holds: Dwarf Subfactions

This mod splits up Dwarf minor factions into three sub-factions. One that focuses on tradition and mastering the old techniques, one that focuses on innovation and finding new ways to kill greenskins, and another that represents explorers and expeditions.

Each faction has a limit on what types of buildings they can build and what they can recruit. This forces the faction to lean into a certain play-style and make them stand out from each other. I also added buffs to some buildings and faction leader traits for all minor factions.

+30 Armor for Faction Leader
+2 Recruit Rank for All Units
+50% Mass for Longbeards
+10% Tradable Resources

Units: Miners (w/o Blasting Charges), Dwarf Warriors, Longbeards, Slayers, Giant Slayers, Doomseekers, Hammerers, Ironbreakers, Quarellers, Rangers, Bolt Thrower, Grudge Thrower

The smith building provides +20% magic resistance in province and settlements provide an accuracy bonus in region. Bonuses only apply in their own territory to encourage a more defensive playstyle.

Factions: Ironbrow Expedition, Karak Hirn, Karak Azul, Karak Zorn, Karak Ziflin, Kraka Drak, Kraka Ravensvake [TOW], Clan Durazgrund [TOW]

Units: Miners, Dwarf Warriors, Slayers, Slayer Pirates, Hammerers, Ironbreakers, Thunderers, Irondrakes, Cannon, Organ Gun, Flame Cannon, Goblin Hewer, Gyrocopters, Thunderbarge

These faction get an armour bonus in region from their defensive buildings, once again encouraging a defensive playstyle.

Factions: Masters of Innovation (can recruit all slayers), Barak Varr, Zhufbar, Karak Norn, Karak Izor [TOW]

Each of these factions are unique, so I'll summarize them one by one:
-Ancestral Throng: Grombrindal is on the move and doesn't have time to settle down and build walls or advanced engineering buildings. They are limited to just infantry units.
-Karak Azorn: A newly established faction that doesn't have access to a lot of high end units, but has no problem using gunpowder. If my Warlords of Cathay mod is installed, they can also recruit Cathayan mercenaries.
-Greybeard's Prospectors: Explorers who can't build high end units or walls, but have access to Brettonian and Empire mercenaries
-Spine of Sotek Dwarfs: A long lost hold, that does not have access to new Dwarven technology. Adapted to Lustria and have poison attacks and can recruit cold ones and bastiladons.
-Bugman's Brewery [TOW]: Dwarves who have settled down in the empire. Can't build high end units or walls, but have access to Empire units
-Slaves of Zharr [TOW]: A slave revolt, very low tech. I plan to add some buffs to leadership and upkeep, but lower armour.
-Clan Barruk [TOW]: Greedy mercenaries who can't build some high end units or walls, but have access to Ogre mercenaries
-Clan Helhein [TOW]: A wandering clan who can not build walls. As heroes of the Battle of Dragonfire Pass, they can recruit Warriors of Dragonfire pass from any tier 3 settlement and get +1 capacity for each tier settlement.
-Firbeard's Excavators [IEE]: Same as Greybeard's Prospectors, except they use Cathay mercenaries instead (requires my Warlords of Cathay mod).
