Complete General Changes

# Trade Lag Halfed (To Reduce Game Lag) (now set to 50% more than original, without collisions, especially in 3v3/4v4 you used to get too much gold, now you get less which is actually better)

^ Heres a Michi tip, build 6 markets, once built click each in turn, for each click ~ hold Shift and press the hotkey for Trade Cart creation once, this will build you 5 for each market. This is great tip for not over creating carts. Instead of having them mess up your Eco/Pop Management.

# Trebuchets Mechanics have been changed around (has more HP, better physics, and can cut tree stumps and cut through forests faster too). *Updated in 1.5, more effective*

# Unique+Viking Arbalest Archer Fire Ram (Destroys Rams At Moderate Rate)

# Onager Unit Type has 0.2 Rotation Penalty which is cool, and 0.05 Error Accuracy (which means the unit will find it difficult to hit moving units such as cavalry) (to try and counter the supremacy of this unit in laggy games).

# Villagers -10 Creation Speed (Allows Faster Start/Setup Of Base)

# Stone Resources 50% More and Stone Costs 50% More (To Try And Counter Market Resource Trading).

# Bloodlines to most Civs (140 HP Cavaliers/Heavy Camels)

# Relic Monky (Relic Gold Generation For FFA) (Gold Gen Set To 30 (Around 1/sec) and Monastery requires Big Build Area + 300 Stone)
^ Relic Monky is actually a creatable unit (monk with relic) from the monastery (Costs 550 Gold)

# Tree Wood Decrease (100 to 66) (Longer Games Are Quite Boring) (Snow Pine=200, Oak=75, Bambo=50)

# Normal Tower have 2/3 Cost + x2 Build Speed (These can be used for advancing)

# Bombard Tower occupies 4 squares (so that Trebuchets can hit them much better)

# Castle have -x1.5 Build Speed (To stop these being used to advance)

# Skirmishers have +2 Attack vs Cavalry/Camels (Slight Tweak For FFA Games)

# Walls have -x2 Build Speed (To stop from quickly building walls) (Gates are untouched)

# Stone/Fortified Wall have x2 HP and x3 Stone Cost (To prevent from rebuilding 24/7)

# Palisade Wall have x6 HP (Helps Goths)

# Outpost have there stone cost removed (due to it being annoying)

# Done something new with water maps (removed all offensive boats excluding demolition ships) and changed around the settings a bit (with fast demo you counter enemy ships, with heavy demo you breach the landing site, with fast tower you should be able to get a foothold on the enemy base)
