Tougher Troopers - Increased trooper medal bonus

NOTE: THIS MOD HAS BEEN ROLLED IN TO 'THE HARDER THEY FALL - MINOR COMBAT OVERHAUL'. IF YOU'RE RUNNING THE HARDER THEY FALL, YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE THIS INSTALLED.


Goal:

This mod aims to increase the survivability for lower tier units on their first level up without creating a big step change in unit power. As long as they’re trained they’ll have a fighting chance with better defence and resistance. Depending on the health of the unit, this could allow them an extra hit before death with increasing benefits with increasing health (i.e. champion medals).
Designed for use with mods that increase game difficulty in the early game, or reduce funds increasing the reliance on lower tier troops.


How it works:

The trooper level medal bonus now also gives +1 defence and +1 resistance for all tiers.
While this isn't a tremendous change, it benefits lower tier troops to a greater degree, as the +1 change makes up a higher proportion of their base stats as opposed to a tier 4 that already has high stats.


Compatibility:

Dependent on base game.
Note: PBEM & Single player Balance Mod 1.31 balance changes have been carried over to retain compatibility. It’s not required, but you can use it without issues.
This should work with most other mods except those that alter the Tier Resources – this includes Tier upkeep costs, Experience per medal, and Experience for combat interactions.
Loads at Priority 0 and should merge with any other Priority 0 mods, it can be overwritten by any mod that changes the same items but with a higher priority and will overwrite any mod with lower priority.


Under the hood:

Changes made to: TITLE.RPK (in Title Packages)

Settings:
Added ‘Defence Upgrade’ and ' Resistance Upgrade' to ‘Iron Medal’ on all Tier Resources (i.e. Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4)
