True Army Costs

What this mod does is change the recruitment/upgrade costs in three ways:

- The initial payment is a suitable sum that reflects the value of the soldier and relates to actual goods prices

- Mercenaries have different calculations than regular soldiers, much cheaper to hire but drastically more expensive to keep

- The equipment that soldier wears is no longer free, but rather must be paid for by the recruiter

- When upgrading, the equipment of the troop will be sold and used to partially pay for the new equipment

The idea behind this mod is to make troops more valuable as individual entities and to give mercenaries a genuine purpose as quick rank support rather than being slightly more expensive troops (do not keep them for long, they're cheaper to recruit but will poke a hole in your wallet fast)

While relatively simple, this change completely alters how troops are seen and makes both recruitment and upgrading an investment

All settings are configurable and impact ONLY the player to avoid balancing issues

To avoid equipment calculations simply set the equipment percentage option to 0
