Improved Arco

--Ver 1.03 = Improved national items (Fireshield on the spear, Reinvigor on the wings, Construction level 4 for both)
--Ver 1.02 = balanced shield bash (-3 dmg, -1 att, -1 len, Thanks Kalinmir!)
--Ver 1.01 = Added cheaper gods (EA: Heavens + Forge, MA: War + Forge, LA: Love + Underworld). Fixed gold costs.

This mod improves Arcoscephale.
It gives Arco a couple national items and spells, improves map mobility, upgrades its core units' stats into elites, adds an iconic shield bash attack and slings made available to more units for some minor ranged damage.

I standardized the map moves of all of Arco's infantry to 14 (baseline human). So now only their equipment and mounts determine mobility. Hoplites will still be incredibly slow, but it is explained by their heavy equipment.

I differentiated Arco's main infantry as well. Hoplites focusing their training on defenses and staying power. Hypaspists as quick, assault oriented specialists. Phalangites as a balance between the two. The Myrmidons and Companions are the best at everything.

Mages gain randomized magic paths, this should increased diversity while also giving Arco a stronger magical presence.

Some equipment changes include a new shield bash attack to all Hoplon bearing units. Kicks (This is ARCO!!!) added to Companions and Icarids (Flying kick!). Slings added to Myrmidons, Chariot / Elephant riders and Cerulean warriors providing a very weak ranged attack.
