HOBBITS
REWORK:


-Age 1 Nienna no longer has discounted Food/Favour/Gold costs for techs

Hobbits now have a more stand alone military:
-Slingers, replaces Archers, a far more competant ranged unit with a high base damage, lower hit chance
-Bounders, a very basic infantry unit that recieves its upgrades from economic upgrades
-Shirrifs, largely the same, but are now restricted to a build limit of 10, as a result, each one is more powerful

-Instead of inheriting several military units from aging up, the player will recieve 1 (and two siege unit types in age 4)
-Many upgrade lines (medium-champion units) have become unobtainable, or are not fully upgradable, this is to prevent Hobbits from dominating over the civ they are borrowing from outright
-Hobbits can now mine Gold, but at a considerly worse rate than any other civ (Plantations are still advised)

-Updated for beta testing the new campaign
