-----Game Play-----
Spoiler :

- Citizens specialized as soldiers give +1 to production, +1 to gold and
+3 to great person points

- Great generals now inspire troops, they will get Morale I when a Great
General is two spaces away, Morale II when a Great General is one space
away and Morale III to units in the same plot as the Great General.

- If configured, Great Generals that have joined a city (settled) will continue
to inspire troops.

-----Notes to Modmakers-----

If you want to use the Great General Amped Mod in your mod I have tried to
make things as easy as possible for you. In the XML files modified sections
are enclosed by:
<!-- -->
<!-- Great General Amped Start -->
<!-- -->
and
<!-- -->
<!-- Great General Amped End -->
<!-- -->

In the Python files I have added #<Great General Start> and #<Great General
End> in all of the places that I have made changes to the original files. I
have also included the Specialist Stacker Mod v0.6.2. There is also a custom
event manager and the GeneralMoraleUtils.py file.

All I ask is that you give me credit.
