Increase unit upkeep #82

Closed ChrisNeedham24 closed 1 year ago

Currently, the penalty for having a large army is too low, as you can still maintain a net income of hundreds per turn with up to and exceeding 25 active units. Currently, a unit's upkeep is 4% of its cost in zeal. A reasonable increase may be to 10%, potentially. Open to discussion on this.

Played around with 10% and it seems to be a good value. Once I got to 20 deployed units, including some mid-late game ones such as Flagellants and Snipers, with five settlements, net wealth per turn was negative.
