ME - Equestrians / September 2024 rebalance

They can't hide from pierce dmg, so they will have better cost efficiency in all levels. - Vagabound and all levels movement to 9 (+1) - Vagabound HP to 35 (+1) - Nomad price to 33g (+1g) - Rider HP to 36 (+1) , price to 16g (-1g) - Pegasus rider movement to 9 (+1) , ranged damage to 5-2 (+1) , XP to 35 (-2) - Lv2 & Lv3 Pegasus riders will now have a NEW ATTACK: Arcane spear melee with -1 and Lv2 with +Divine handicap (only on non-living units & monsters) - Lv3 Pegasus also now have NEW ATTACK: Arcane spear 7-3 ranged +Marksman +Divine (only on non-living units & monsters) Pegasus having only pierce damage adds so very little value, but arcane vs non living might help the unit perform better. - Mage rider HP to 32 (+1) , price to 22g (-1g) - Searay XP to 36 (-2) - Knight XP to 39 (-2) - Bronco HP to 33 (+1) , XP to 37 (-4) , pierce res to -10% (+5%) - Mustang pierce res to -10% (+5%) - Charger XP to 49 (-3)
