Vlad's Balance Mod

A full balance rework. I added a better progression to the game. No more inconsequential choices between 3 commerce or 2 gold. Buildings and traditions are exciting. There are upgrades that cost tens of thousands to spend your gold late game. The advantages now live up to their name!

Oh! And you can play tall now!

Redone all buildings costs:
- Mid game buildings and upgrades cost more.
- Late game buildings and upgrades cost even more - up to 50k or 100k
Redone resources:
- Many provide the same stuff, but some are really exciting when you get them
Redone traditions:
- Harder to get, but improved bonuses - now they cost piety instead of books
Redone advantages:
- Different resources required. Each advantage need a different set of 4 province features.
- Borderline broken bonuses. But when you get one now you actually feel you have an advantage.

Other changes:
- All buildings take more time to build
- All city slots are unlockable for 1500 gold
- Most actions have longer prepare time
- Some actions have lower costs
- Most actions upkeep was removed - freeing small kingdoms to use diplomats and spies to great effect
- Made characters after the first one of each type cost way more
- More starting gold for small kingdoms
- No gold cost for upgrading skills - 200/500/1000 books

The result?! You will build a lot more, use spies and diplomats a lot more early in the game and when you get something special, IT WILL FEEL SPECIAL!
