Tier Path Rework

We’ve made a big overhaul of the way all factions tier up in Wikinger, this is something that has been left over from the base game and has taken a few weeks of looking at all the values and then addressing them.  We started out with a fairly conservative leveling out of each faction to bring them more in line with each other.

Before – major imbalance between OKW, US and UK vs Wehrmacht & Soviets

After – with tentative favoring/penalties for advantages/disadvantages 

US, UK and OKW are all working on a four tier cost/time scale whereas Wehrmacht and Soviets have their costs and times split across seven upgrades/buildings.  We need to see how well this splitting has worked, can it be horribly exploited? Are some factions locked out of units while others get them too easily?

OKW gets a time (infantry truck only) and resource penalty (split across all three trucks) to allow for the fact that new units spawn directly from this first truck, it is a retreat point and it can heal units.

These times and values are in no way set in stone, this is an early development and we need extensive testing on these new times.
