Genius - character skills overhaul

Compatible with version 1.19. Module version: 1.0.1 File abbreviation: pdyProdigy - The character skill overhaul is a comprehensive improvement of the five main skills in "Crusader Kings 3", aiming to give the character more obvious strengths and weaknesses. Each skill now also comes with a corresponding commander modifier, inspired by Europa Universalis 5's ability system. To further enrich each character's strengths and weaknesses, the mod includes an optional gameplay system called Passion and Apathy, which adds skill ambitions, loosely inspired by ambitions in Crusader Kings 2, to provide short-term goals to further improve the character. The contents of the mod are shown below.

To give travel options and other resources more weight, travel speed has been removed from management.

Commanders with high management skills will have more supplies.
