Iron Harvest Great War Mod

This mod introduces more diversity into Iron Harvest. Many feel that the infantry and common air units all feel very similar. This mod addresses this. All common units have had their stats slightly changed for each faction, changing how they play. The mod also introduces an airfield structure. Each faction also has 1 unique air unit and 1 specialist skybike, making the airfield structure worth to go for.

I felt that the endgame was a bit stale with only 1 type of superheavy, so I also introduced 2 more superheavy variants for all factions.

To further diversify the game, the weapon systems are distributed differently in Barracks and Advanced Barracks for each faction. I have also created a new special infantry unit for each faction, a "elite" unit that cannot pick up nor drop weapons.

Lastly, it is possible to recruit special factions by building their special structure via the pioneer. These minor factions have special units which can greatly affect the battle.
