Three things I'm seeing wrong here.

First, the major one. Your new ModuleTag_07 to give this new bonus is overriding the Battlemaster's existing ModuleTag_07 - which is its LocomotorSetUpgrade tag that controls the Nuclear Tanks upgrade. Not a good idea to override. Change it to a different number - 14 isn't used by any tags (this is assuming you're using the 1.3 INIs), so go ahead and use that.

Second, as far as I know, Nationalism and Patriotism are indeed upgrades to the Horde bonus. Case in point - though the Infantry General's troops all begin with Nationalism, their Action under HordeUpdate is still HORDE and not NATIONALISM (implying that this General gets the Nationalism upgrade automatically at the beginning of each game). So it's possible that using anything besides HORDE will not work - if anyone more experienced than me knows something to the contrary, please inform me.

Third, you seem to have copied the Red Guard's HordeUpdate tag into the Battlemaster's code, so the Battlemaster will only get this new Horde bonus when it's around other infantry - this will mean that the Battlemasters would never get this new bonus at all. Plus, the radii are all wrong - copy the Battlemaster's Horde tag instead of the infantry Horde tag.

Another potential pitfall is that the new bonus doesn't override the first, but stacks on top of the existing one instead - which could be illegal. I wouldn't know how to disable either of the Horde tags without the use of controlling upgrades, though...

Hope this helps.
