gild-1.0 file - Gilded Vanilla mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

This mod corrects glaring issues in the combat of the vanilla game. It started from personal frustration that certain weapon types were useless. In particular it modifies the defence skill values of sword infantry so that unit progression makes more sense. The starting point from this mod was the excellent Lands To Conquer Gold however it restored the vanilla unit statistics and building recruitment model.
