Modifying effect of surgery skill

[Qtee]

Heya
Does anyone know a way of reducing the benefit that surgery skill gives per level?
Every game of M&B I play with any mod, once I get party to surgery 4+ I almost never lose any troops in battle (which dah, i realize is what the skill does) This makes for very unrealistic and stupid gameplay. Unrealistic, becasue 1 surgeon cannot save the lives of every member of an army, and stupid because losing troops and training up more is what makes M&B fun.  IF anyone knows how you could reduce the effect of each level of surgery to 1 or 2% down from 4% please let me know. I realize the other option is not get his skill in the party, BUT i would much prefer to reduce the effectiveness, and just want to know if anyone knows how to do this, as I have been unable to find anything on the forums so far.

just edit the 4% to the % you want, thats how i think it works.

That's like editing the shown text on screen but not the mechanism...

I though those skills' effect are hard coded. You can only add extra effect, but cannot edit the original one.
