Masterworks of Vaul's Anvil - Unit Upgrades for High Elves

Adds a Unit upgrade system similar to the Greenskin scrap upgrades to the High Elf factions. They cost a new resource called Splendour which is gained by having exceptional leaders under your command, constructing court buildings and holding special important landmarks.

Splendour is capped at 25 at the start of the game and the cap gets increased by settlement buildings. Special Settlements like Lothern, Gaean Vale and Tor Yvresse increase the cap more than normal major settlements do. Increasing the cap is needed to gain access to the more expensive upgrades.

The upgrades are non-exclusive and are mostly related to being masterwork equipment for the respective unit.

Q: Why won't the scrap upgrade window open when clicking on the unit cards?
A: Since 6.0 the old scrap upgrade UI got removed by CA. The new one can be opened by clicking on the button at the bottom of the army panel.

Q: Why doesn't the upgrade button in the army panel always show?
A: The script tries to add it every time you left-click select one of your armies. If it doesn't show right away try deselecting and reselecting the army until it does. This issue is rather rare in single player but quite common in multiplayer campaigns.

Q: Can you add suport for [insert unit mod] or [insert faction mod]?
A: The base mod will always exclusively support official CA units and factions and I won't create submods for faction or unit mods that I don't personally play with. But feel free to suggest it in the comments as other users of those mods might read it and decide to do so.

Q: Will you create more mods for different factions?
A: The only mod that I currently want to create sooner or later is a Dark Elf mod. I will consider a mod for chaos daemon and monogod factions afterwards.

Q: Is it safe to add/remove the mod mid campaign?
A: Generally speaking adding it mid campaign should be possible but certain features like unlocking upgrades through research could cause issues. I wouldn't recommend removing it from an existing campaign though, especially when units equipped with upgrades are present on the campaign map or if the mod adds a new pooled resource to factions.

Q: Update?
A: Tell me what stopped working in the current version of the game or which units are missing upgrades and I will try to fix it as soon as I find the time. Update requests without any information won't be answered.
