Fire Whilst Moving for mounted Druzhina lords - Vanilla & SFO compatible

This mod gives the Druzhina lords the ability "Fire Whilst Moving", which enables a Parthian Shot shot style horse archery when the Druzhina is mounted. This mod is compatible with everything and should never require an update.

The Druzhina is closer to Ungols and since I tend to use support armies consisting of cheap mounted skirmishers to help garrisons or main armies in battles with lots of enemy reinforcements, he's just the right lord to lead those support stacks. It's very weird though when he's the only mounted archer in such an army who can't fire whilst moving.
Also I know that the community originally expected him to have this ability in the first place.





Mind that he only has this ability while mounted. This comes for two reasons:

1) Consistency with other foot archers of the Kislev roster who don't have Fire Whilst Moving either.

2) His dismounted model doesn't support fire whilst moving animations. You can give him the ability but he won't fire.
This would only work by either altering his animation set or replacing it with the one from another unit, which then again could result in him not using his unique Greataxe correctly or at all and I don't want to meddle with that.


Also mind that he doesn't have the Skirmish ability. If you use Horse Archers like me, remember that he's the only one who won't retreat when enemies get close. Unfortunately it's not possible to edit this without using a table to overwrite unit stats, which would make this mod incompatible with anything that makes changes to that as well.
