Slavery & ancient economy

Ancient economy was based on slavery, not on capitalist investments in industry, agriculture and infrastructure.

Main effects :

- Slaves' income has been multiplied by 4
- Trade with other factions makes twice the money it did (now it is important to search new factions to trade with)
- Base income of factions has been lowered a lot
- Hidden income has been deleted for nearly all factions (except majors that need help: Rome, Suebi, Carthage, Pontus)
- Public order level has been rebalanced according to the difficulty level
- AI factions have got a bonus public order and food
- AI allocates budget less into agents
- Taxes effects have been rebalanced (30%, 70%, 100%, 120%, 130% instead of 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, 140%)
- Income from subsistence has been divided by 5 in the main building chain, so now economic buildings are usefull.
- A new upkeep bonus of -20% for garrisoned armies and docked navies
- Raiding upkeep bonus is now -50% instead of -20%, so that raiding is indeed a usefull activity.

Side effects, occupying options :

- Looting has been replaced by Sacking for all the factions (why looting and damaging the buildings of city you want to occupy????)
- Sacking gives you now twice the money it did
- Occupying a city now gives you -10 public order instead of -20
- All factions can now liberate

Other side effects :

- Slaves captured in battles has been multiplied by 2
- Base replenishment has been lowered
- Units are disbanded if they are less than 10% left after a battle (instead of 5%)
