Crusades Balance

Version 3.0 has a second set of unit figures, the Crusades balance. A battle uses it when “Use the Crusades Unit Balance” is ticked in the battle setup, or when a Boneyards game type calls for it; the campaign never does. With it, this unit changes as below, and everything else on this page stays the same.
