does it work on 1212 ?

This mod can make ai recruit more elite armies?

Do the melee attacks on added unit mods go down as well or would I need to edit them?

update: missing table for spotting distances has been added.

most of the "Battle" mod is but not this one. Eventually these changes will be included in Radious Very Hard Overhaul. It might take some time but It will happen.
I am also planning on improving this and "Battle" modification in the next weeks and I don't mind making slightly different submod without animations but I have to be sure I won't be making any more changes to it as it not easy to mirror all changes across few mods. "Battle" mod needs some polishing. Please remind me of this conversation once you notice some updates in "Battle" mod and don't forget leave some feedback :) thx
