[BETA] Adjustable Armies Updated

Hey everyone. I am releasing a major update which addresses one of the most significant limitations of the mod - hero embedding.

For more info check out this thread: link

This mod allows the player and the AI to use increased army sizes, up to a maximum of 40 units per army. This mod is experimental, and somewhat unstable by nature.

This mod increase the maximum army size for the player, allowing up to 40 units per army depending on the configuration. This mod uses a script to change memory addresses on game load, and is somewhat unstable by nature. Crashes are typically attributed to players not using the required mods, or by an unknown conflict with another mod.

Not all known issues/limitations can be fixed. Current known issues/limitations include:

• General instability, especially when used with other large mods
  
• Unit exchange does not fully function for armies with more than 20 units
  
• Armies may not contain more than 19 heroes

The Mod Configuration Tools is not required, and the mod will default to 40 units if MCT is not installed. Memreader and No Attrition/Increased Allied Recruitment ARE required. If you are encountering end turn crashes even with the No Attrition/Increased Allied Recruitment mod, try moving it up in your load order so that it does not get overwritten by other mods.

A majority of crashes, especially over the end turn, are caused by the attrition calculation breaking for armies with more than 20 units. For most players, having the No Attrition Mod is enough to prevent this completely, and placing it near the top of the load order can solve any immediate conflicts with other mods.

However, other mods may be able to apply attrition in ways that subvert the No Attrition Mod. I suspect attrition can be applied indirectly or though non-terrain sources, such as through events. Mods could also add their own form of attrition which is not negated by the No Attrition Mod. Typically, this kind of issue only happens for large scale campaign mods that change or add gameplay mechanics.

If anyone experiences a crash and you know it is related to a specific mod, feel free to mention it in the comments. Although I cannot guarantee any solution, it would be great to know more about this type of conflict so we can search for ways to alleviate it.

I do not take credit for the original content of this mod. I merely added MCT support and fixed the hero embedding issue. The core of this mod - the increased army sizes - is not my work.
