Tavern Barb Plus

Removes merchants from the game (tedious to manage, 10% buff to markets to help offset loss of income) & buffs the tavern for barbarian in the base game only (not BI or Alexander).
I did this to help manage larger cities as a barbarian, without the constant revolt and then annihilation.

Tavern lvl 1
Cost increased from 800 to 1200
Increased the population health bonus from 1 to 4. This increases the pop growth from 0.5% to 2% and the health bonus from 5% to 20%.

Tavern lvl 2
Cost increased from 1600 to 2400
Happiness bonus increased from 10% to 20%
Law bonus increased from 5% to 10%

This should make it so if you want to grow a particular town a lvl 1 Tavern would help but if you want to slow the growth and provide stability a lvl 2 Tavern is helpful. Increasing the cost of the buildings just makes it so the benefits are not for free.

Additional governor and ancillary changes:

Increased the threshold by x3 for the 6 levels of the drinking trait.
Reduced the Paralytic (lvl 6) negative effects by 1, still a bit worse than Sot (lvl 5).
Reduced the chance of getting the Ancillary Slubberdegullion from 3% to 1% if you have a Tavern.
Reduced the chance of getting the Ancillary Drunken Uncle from 2% to 1% (still requires lvl 3 drinking trait or worse, which is now less likely).
