(ABM) Alternate Balance Mod

Alternate Balance Mod (henceforth ABM) is a comprehensive balance mod with (a bucketload of) QoL tweaks & hotfixes on the side. The goal of this mod is to identify and address "areas of improvement" without throwing off global balance everywhere.

ABM is not intended to deviate from the game's original design nor deliver an entirely different experience.

ABM is not an overhaul.

My approach is simple:

1. no nerfs
   
2. don't touch the tech tree
   
3. don't touch weapon profiles
   
4. don't touch units costs, stats or group size; instead:
   (a) give 'em traits, existing or wholly new;
   (b) failing that, abilities (limitedly)
   
5. keep all changes:
   (a) minimal,
   (b) thematically fitting

~~~
Every major update will likely crash the game on load. To be safe, start a *new* save and don't mish-mash with mods that edit units, traits, weapons, factions, cities, buildings or tech trees (voice and scaling mods ~should~ be fine as long as they use .xml.ext files).
