Vampire Coast features for Lokhir Fellheart (Requires Vampire Coast DLC)

This mod adds Vampire Coast's certain mechanics to Lokhir Fellheart. these include:

• Infamy ranking and Shanty: In addition to Vampire Coast's basic ranking and shanty system, bestowing loot to your underling corsair will reduce the infamy you have. (aka You can upgrade your corsairs with infamy)
  
• Treasure Hunting: For this, Lokhir's faction has gained a 'search for treasures' stance instead of a channeling stance. As compensation, they also gained an encampment stance. His encampment stance will also increase magic.
  
• Pieces of Eight: Instead of RoR, they strengthen your Corsairs factionwide! Make Corsair Chosen!
  
• Free Booting: Copycat of total war's 'An Ocean of Opportunities' dilemma. Face your opponent in the Jade Sea! However, maybe a legendary pirate hunter will start to prey on you.

This mod will cause CTD if you play as Lokhir, but don't have the Vampire Coast DLC

Only lords can dig for treasure. For your trouble, their reward is made double, and the search for treasure stance does not consume moving points.

Another critical problem comes from the location of treasures. As DB didn't change from WH2, all of the treasures are located Mortal Empire map area. Which is far from Lokhir's starting point.

For that, I've added 8 new treasure locations within the Cathay (9 if you include the starting treasure map) but none of those is a unique treasure map. That's because I think there should be some unique rewards like Malus' quest for the unique treasure maps. But I don't know any of the lore and can't make any.

For every 21st turn, you'll face a victim-choosing dilemma. If you choose Cathay pirate hunters and defeat them twice, the mighty legendary pirate hunter will spawn and start to hunt your faction leader. He might have only one army, but be wary though, he is stupidly strong.

Currently, the Indian Ocean is empty from roving pirates who give out Pieces of Eight.

As there is at least one unused faction in the table, I could make an additional one. Yes, there was a pun of eight pieces of eight, but I think the playability matters more.

The hard part is thinking up the names and descriptions with pirates speaking. If you want one or two other pieces of eight coins in the Indian Ocean, give me some texts and I'll happily add them to the mod.

All kinds of bug reports and feedback are welcome. :)

Q. Unlike the stance icon on the lower left, the stance icon on the head of the general is still a channeling icon.
A. That's because I don't know how to change the one above the general's head. Sorry.

Q No flagship?
A. I'm kind of content with the semi-legendary treat on Lokhir's starting vessel and giving Lokhis another will make two 'Tower of the Blessed Dread' in the faction.

Q. No pirate coves?
A. Too much work and I thought looting with black ark was better.

Q. Shanty Lyric text are not showing up in battle.
A. Sorry don't know how to solve it. At least we got sound.

Q. Do I get Cathayan treasure maps if I play as Vampire Coast?
A. No. You'll not. Due to some shenanigans of my coding, Vampire Coast and Lokhir's mechanism plays differently whether whom you play.
A. (2022/12/31) Yes, you'll. I foolishly thought the script will look for the functions in the same file first then the global functions from other files and come up with the above answer. If you're having any problems playing with Vampire Coast factions, please notify me.
