Starting Unit Changer

With pretty much all of the lords getting a new starting army it's no surprise a few of them are stinkers.
Luckily, with the power of nitpicking and personal preference I've made a mod to change a few of the armies which I'm not too fond of to either make them more unique, more thematic, or more fun.

Alberic: Gained a Grail Reliquae.
Nobody else uses this unit and Alberic has a very bland starting army. Plus meme units are funny.
Belegar: Gained a Bolt Thrower.
A lesser used unit that fits in with Belegar using cheaper units to make up for his upkeep increase.
Grimgor: Two Goblin Archers replaced with Orc Arrer Boyz.
Dose Gobbos are only good bein' shot outta sling! Jokes aside, it's more thematic and is a unit you won't replace in 5 turns.
Skarsnik: Goblin Spearmen and Goblin Archer replaced with Night Goblin Archers.
Again it's thematic but it also plays into Skarsnik's army better as his Waagh buffs ranged units which are lacking in his starting army.
Grom: Orc Arrer Boyz replaced with Goblin Archers.
Once again, it's thematic but also plays into his gameplay better.
Skarbrand: Has his RoC starting army.
Just infantry and dogs is incredibly boring for a starting army.
Greasus: Maneaters replaced with Ironblaster.
Not only do Ogres use a huge amount of monsterous infantry to begin with, but Greasus doesn't even favour Maneaters as he benefits Ironguts more.
Skrag: Loses all Gnoblar Spearmen for a Stonehorn.
Very enjoyable, fits with his skills, screw Gnoblars.
Queek: Plagueclaw Catapults replaced with Warp Lightning Cannons.
Makes him different from Skrolk.
Settra: Gains a Khermrian Warsphinx.
Settra has a lot of enemies to begin with very little strong in his starting army aside from Settra himself. Plus it's more fun.
Khatep: Loses all Spearmen and Necropolis Knights, gains Screaming Skull Catapult and Hierotitan.
Is more themed to Khatep and makes his army quite interesting to play with few but elite units. Necropolis Knights deserve to be in Khalida's army.
Khalida: Loses Screaming Skull Catapult and one Horse Archer, gains Necropolis Knights and Sepulchral Stalkers.
Speaking of. It's a lot more thematic and doesn't have overlap with Khatep's new army.
Mannfred: Grave Guard become Great Weapon variant and Skeletons become Spear variant.
Mannfred's starting army is extremely similar to Vlad's starting army aside from the Black Knights. The Combo of Great Grave Guard and Spear Skeletons should also be useful in Tomb King land.
Be'lakor: Loses all mortal units and Spawn, gains two Nurglings, another Pink Horror and a Soul Grinder of Khorne.
The mortal followers are doomed to be disbanded pretty quickly and it's thematic for Be'lakor to have brought over a toy from the Soul Forge he talks so much about.
Drycha: Loses two Dryads, Gains Deepwood Scouts (Swiftshiver Shards) and Great Hawks.
Drycha's starting army is incredibly basic. This basically reverts to how she was in 2.
Zhatan: Rocket Launcher replaced with Magma Cannon.
Entirely personal bias here. I just find Deathshriekers incredibly underwhelming compared to other artillery.
Changeling: Tzaangors replaced with Forsaken.
Forsaken function very similarly to Tzaangors except Forsaken actually benefit from Changeling's skill tree.
Again, synergy, and using only crappy early game units for a starting army is never fun.

If there are any issues do let me know, I've not uploaded a mod orientated around startpos so I would not be surprised if something goes wrong.
You can also input your own thoughts and ideas but this mod is very preference based so don't be offended if your ideas don't get added.
