Better Quality Gear

In the vanilla decent armor and weapons are used mostly by player's faction, with some exceptions. I don't like this fact, so I've made this simple mod to rebalance difficulty and ingame logic in the way I see.

This is the system how I changed armor distribution:
— Shoddy grade is worn by various brigands, wanderers and militia like Holy Chosen and UN conscripts;
— Standard grade is worn by more experienced adventurers, guards, mercs and regular troops;
— High grade is used by commanders, experienced warriors and small faction's leaders;
— Specialist grade is worn by high-ranking officiers, noblemen (or noblewomen) and ruler's bodyguards.
I haven't almost did anything with Masterwork armour as it was ok in the vanilla.

Weapon dfistribution was rebalanced as well. Now all samurai (except conscripts) have Catun blades, and their officiers and elite troopers possess Skeleton quality. Shek warriors have not very big chances to have Catun-quality weapons, while Hundred Guardians can have even Skeleton Smith's ones. Most HN soldiers still have Ancient blades. however ranks above Paladin may be equiped with Catun (consider it as trophies from Bast).

As for the balance, it has become more difficult to fight with your opponents, however there will be more loot after you defeat them.

This mod changes only the quality of gear, not the stats or items themselves, so it should be compatible with everything.

Works well with my Holy Nation manufacturer (Russian language only for now)
