Renamed the unit-tag “Light Infantry” (which encompasses e.g., Coyotee Runners, Chimu Runners, Eagle Runner Knights, etc) to “Shock Infantry” to better reflect their role in the counter system and to avoid confusion with units like e.g., Skirmishers and Crossbowmen which are commonly referred to as ‘Light Infantry’ (as the logical counterpart to Heavy Infantry e.g., Musketeers and Pikemen)
Moved the “Wild West” and “Compunction” technologies to the Fortress Age (from Industrial), cost halved to 200f and 250w (from 400f, 500w); hitpoint bonus reduced to +20% (from +35%); now also improves train points of affected units by -50%; description updated accordingly
