This hack changes the statistics of the COs to make strong COs less extreme and weak COs more viable. CO dossiér descriptions are also detailed.
Check Changes.txt for all the changes.
(The hack doesn't unlock all COs by default.)

The CO profiles detail the Power Bar length and stat changes (in AW2 defense format).
The game defines firepower and defense differently than its sequels.
Defense is damage taken, aka +10% defense = 90% damage taken.
Each unit can have individual values to damage dealt and taken, and there's a universal value pair for the whole army. The universal values are usually 110% damage dealt and 90% damage taken during Power. For COs with unite boosts/weaknesses, these add up. E.g. Max has 170% on his direct combat units. With 110% universal damage on top it adds up to 187%. Drake's 80% air units become 88%.
COs which werern't changed:
