Killer Regeneration (1.1):
I've seen a number of scripts that involve adding health regeneration to the game as well as arguments about how much of a cheat people consider it to be. A number of those scripts give a player, and sometimes only the player, health regeneration over time which I think rewards hiding. My goal here is to accomplish a middle ground that sets the playing field even for all troops on the field.
You are free to add this to or modify it for your mods as you wish. I'm welcome to any suggestions for improvement or refinement.

Manual Installation:
[*]module_mission_templates.py - The following trigger needs to be added to every mission template you want it to be included in. If you're using a mod like the custom commander one with a "common triggers" definition you can likely just add it to that.
[*]variables.txt - The following global variables need to be added.

Features:
- All units regain a percentage of health each time they kill a unit. This means enemies as well as allies which makes it a fairly level playing field. Different ranks of troop (regular, companion, lord, king) will receive differing percentages of health returned. As a player you will receive the lowest amount simply to balance the fact you should be the most active killer on the field.
- Strength provides a small boost to this percentage.
- Leadership provides a small boost to this percentage for units that are not the leader. You will not gain any benefit from this for yourself, but your troops will if you run with a decent leadership skill.
- Factors in difficulty setting to raise health regeneration of enemies and lower health regeneration of allies. I use in my game to keep things interesting, but this feature can be disabled in the constants.py file by changing the "wp_hr_factor_difficulty" constant to 0.
- (New in 1.1) Separate global variables have been added so that a player can control whether they and/or AI receive this benefit.
