Early Era Archery Buildings

Adds three ranged-unit-enhancing buildings to the game, each of which adds a slight buff to Archery or Siege units built in a city.

Practice Range:
-- Archery Tech
-- Gives the promotion Accuracy I
-- Increases prduction of ranged units by 10%
-- Gives no (zero) free experience.
-- No limit to how many can be built. City-States can build.
-- costs 1 gold per turn in maintenance but is quick to build.
-- everything about the Practice Range is intended to make it inexpensive while providing a modest boost to the effectiveness of Archers in the early game. Building far too many of them in the early game will be a losing proposition, though.

Archery Range:
-- Mathematics Tech
-- Increases prduction of ranged units by 20%
-- Gives 10 XP to Ranged units
-- Requires a Practice Range
-- No limit to how many can be built. City-States can build.
-- Costs 3 gold per turn in maintenance and is expensive to purchase.

Artillery Range
-- Metal Casting Tech
-- Increases prduction of siege units by 20%
-- Gives 15 XP to Siege units
-- Requires an Archery Range
-- Each Civ can build only 3. City-States are not allowed to build.
-- Costs 3 gold per turn in maintenance and is really expensive to purchase.

None of these buildings can ever be captured when a city is conquered, so there's no way a player can get an 'extra' artillery range, for example.

For anyone who may have been enabling my Buildings Guide mod (of which I suspect there aren't many) you should use this mod instead. But I have changed the three buildings slightly from the examples I included in Buildings Guide, so you should finish any game you have going before you enable this mod.

Since I just really suck at artwork I have borrowed in-game icons for the three buildings. I believe this mod should be compatible with Gods and Kings but I am not sure, since it has been so long since I played G+K. This mod is compatable with BNW and it shouldn't matter what if any DLC you may or may not have.

I am considering having the Practice Range and the Archery Range become obsolete with the Gunpowder tech (for example) but I haven't made up my mind as yet, and have decided to wait upon user feedback before making a decision one way or the other.
