Modified Bystander

A slight modification of the wonderful Bystander mod (original CoE5 version found here). It adds a new class which starts with a very powerful Bystander unit, but gains no gold and is completely unable to expand. Basically, it adds a class that just stays in the game but does nothing and is unlikely to die, allowing the player to continue playing indefinitely even if they defeat all the other factions. Which means you can explore the world of Elysium to your heart's content.

To use it, start a new game and make sure to select the "Bystander" class for at least one of your AI opponents.

The differences between this mod and pencils' version:
- The AI can no longer randomly select this class
- The Bystander citadel is placed in Agartha, hopefully reducing the number of armies running into it

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to put the Bystander in Agartha without also creating a portal there, so be aware that adding it to the game means adding an undefended portal to Agartha.
