Game mechanic changes

• Specialists now defend and attack at 4 points respectively.
• The explore formula is revised. It is now significantly cheaper to explore at smaller sizes compared to both previous ages.
• The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
• Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
• Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
• Intra kingdom hits will remove some honor from the attacked province.
• Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.
• Entering Fortified stance will result in -50% magic and thief operation effectiveness and gains. This kicks in immediately for the fortified kingdom and slides in over 24 hours for the rest.
• Sabotage damage mods will increase the thievery damage cap, watchtowers will decrease it.
