Made it so that the Shredding Talons tech (which buffs the melee attack and weapon strength of Eagles and War Lions in vanilla) now also gives War Lions the "Wounded Pride" ability.

I think it's a shame that Cathay celestial lions get this ability in the vanilla game and War Lions don't, so atleast now you can get it for them through the tech tree.

Corrected the melee attack tooltip for "Massed Charge", which did not list Rangers in the units who received that buff (they were already receiving the melee attack buff).

Since CA have increased the radius for "Loose!" and "Darken the Skies!" from 35m to 55m, the buffs I gave that ability in the "Archery Prowess" tech were now too much and also landed on awkward numbers. I've scaled the buff down to a 10% radius increase, which increases the radius from 55m -> 60m. To balance out the slight nerf, I have in turn also made that tech increase the radius of "Quicksilver Shot" by 10% too (also 55m -> 60m).

"Hardwood Construction" now gives +15 bonus armour to Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers. Just made sense.

"Horsemasters" now gives +10 diplomatic relations with Bretonnia. For High Elf factions who start on the donut, this can be a nice and helpful early game boost to getting trade agreements with Bretonian factions.

Fixed copy and paste error for 'From The Shadowlands' tech effects on the previous patch

Update: 14 May, 2024 @ 3:29pm

Reverted changes from previous patch which would unlock spells for Loremaster hero's, on the basis that it would cause their vanilla spells selections to potentially become unavailable.

Instead, late game techs have thematic buffs for certain spell lores. In each case, the buff is a 10% cooldown reduction and WoM cost reduction for all spells from that lore:

- From the Shadowlands - Lore of Shadows
- Dragons Bond - Lore of Fire
- Friends in High Places - Lore of Heavens
- Wardings of Vaul - Lore of Metal
- Blessings of Asuryan - Lore of High Magic
- Ancient Lair Warding - Lore of Light

This is in addition to the existing cost reductions / cooldown reductions that existed on previous patches, namely:

- Strength of Avelorn - Lore of Life
- Arcane Studies - All lores

------------------------------------------------------------------

The only other change on this patch was that Cartridge Ammunition tech now removes the Cannot Run attribute from Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers and gives them a 50% speed buff. This was inspired by the buffs that you can unlock for Hellblasters in the Amethyst armoury for Elspeth in the ToD DLC.
