Less upkeep for Heroes and Lords V2 - Trakaan's Mods

Updated for the twisted and the twilight

This mod reflects the fact that a heroe/lord can take care of his own expenses and that you, as his ruler will only pay for his war effort. In term of gameplay it makes heroes and lords cheaper to sustain (less upkeep for both the Player and the AI).

The modifications are as follow : upkeep value - unmounted value + 50 = new value

EDIT V2: WARNING : base modifiers updated from +10 to +50 for balance
EDIT V3 : some manual adjustments have been made for low upkeeps (under 250 in vanilla games)

For example for the High Elf Prince : vanilla - 250+ 50 = new value
Opions--------------Vanilla---------Modified
On foot :--------------250--------------50
On horse :-----------300-------------- 100
On Great Eagle:----375--------------175
On Sun Dragon:----475--------------275
On Star Dragon:----625--------------425

EDIT V2: Black Arck is now back at 250 because it is more than just a lord
EDIT V3 : Mounts are no longer free for legendary lords

The values in game may be higher or lower due to upkeep modifiers (the one for numbers of armies for example).

The anticipated consequences are :
1) The max number of Heroes can be recruited with almost no impact on your economy.
2) More expansives units can be recruited for the same army upkeep cost since the lords cost less.
3) The drecreased cost for Legendary Lords mounts makes them more valuable early game so they can become really powerfull without hurting your economy.

This mod should be save game compatible and compatible with all mods except if existing lords or heroes in "main_units" are modified by an other mod.

This mod is first and foremost for my own personnal use. Other mods do the same thing but those are my own values. If you try it please give feedbacks and you are welcomed to use it to make your own mod.
