* Updated mercenary hire screen to show hire and annual costs

GOBLIN SPEAKER (4 features)

The goblin speaker training in Goblinwood has now been improved much more, once the new sound effect was recorded I laughed for a straight minute so it's worth checking out if you have the chance.

* Removed notification for no gold when trying to pay for goblin speaker training

* Added new sound effect for goblin speaking training (one of the funniest sfx I've done imo)

GOLEMS REWORKED (4 features... Or 36.3 billion)

After looking through all the face generation systems in game and ranking them by total faces they can output, Golems were at the bottom of the list with a measly 7 million possible faces. I've wanted to rework them for a while so I created some samples and completely remade the system from the ground up. Now the new Golems have 36.3 billion possible faces!

Here's the list of in-game face generators and their respective total number of faces that can be generated - https://i.imgur.com/1AL9Aay.png

* Remade Golem faces and scrapped the old system and it's 7 million golems
* Added 36.3 billion new Golem faces
* Updated Golem face generator to use the new system
* Added Old Golems data to Warsims extras folder (Extras\Warsim Faces) with instructions on how to reinstall old golem faces if you wish to

And some new proc gen golem races - https://i.imgur.com/P1BpHKf.png

BILLIONS OF FACES FOR ALL (4 features... or 26 billion)

After the above race face tracking, I planned to improve the generators for the remaining 4 races below a billion. Now there are no face generators in Warsim that produce less than 1 billion faces!

* Added 22.5 billion new lizardmen faces (was 100 million now 22.6 billion)
* Added 1.6 billion new blogroki faces (was 74 million now 1.67 billion)
* Added 1.4 billion new mushroom men faces (was 237 million now 1.6 billion)
* Added 1.2 billion new skeerok faces (was 126 million now 1.3 billion)

Here's that same race list with the new improvements - https://i.imgur.com/O9jTzpb.png

THRONE ROOM ADDITIONS (6 features)

A few tweaks and new throne room encounters to keep things as fresh as possible!

* Added new throne room encounter 'Man wants to join your army as his brother did'
* Added new throne room encounter 'Man following the whispering winds instruction'

DEATH SOUND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (4 features)

The way the death sound system in the settings was laid out was confusing, I've tried to improve it and make it clearer. I still don't recommend using it but I don't like deleting features that could be optional so it's still there. For those who don't know it's a system that gives a death sound effect to each dead unit in battle, unfortunately this doesn't work well and immensely slows battles down and delivers choppy half-cut sounds.

* Added a new sub menu in settings for the deathsound system feature
* Added explanation of the death sound system and it's issues
* Made death sound systems slower speed x2 even slower
* Added better notification of what status the death sound system is currently at

YOUR ORDER OF KNIGHTS IMPROVED (7 features)

* Added new screen for not having enough gold to convert knights into your order
* Added new screen for not having enough knights to convert into your order

NEW LOOT TROVE (5 features)

A few new items to keep things fresh, the first four are in honour of our new Golems, the last one is a reference to my old and long dead game project the Wastes (which is free on itch.io for the curious)!
