Mortality mod (small db change to improve gameplay)

[themortal]

Hello people

I have made a mod (mortality mod if you missed the title) to adress some personal issues i had with the game and thought i would share it.

Mortality mod 1.0 features 1 drastic change which is the removal of shield armour but maintaining missile block and melee defence buffs from shields (so shields are still very important).

Minor changes include adding ammunition to melee units who equip bows (usually 2 arrows but now 10), adjusting armour values that were incorrectly put into the db tales (more detail in changelog), and adding parthian shot to most cavalry units who wield a composite and reflex bow

The mods minor changes mostly only effect steppe/eastern cultures but i am willing to take suggestions for furthur changes if they are logical/within reason.

here is the change log of everything i have changed

this mod makes arrows do more damage to units when a shield is not blocking the missile. Also the balance between shock cav and melee cav is alot closer with both being near equal in a 1v1 fight environment (due to shield armour previously blocking low ap damage swords).
