Rank 9 unit stats of Great Beards
Difference:
+350 cost (1150)
+75 upkeep (287)

+Slightly larger unit model size

Severely reduced melee_cp (almost halved) and slightly reduced cdir_unit_quality.
(motive: I missed this one on my previous update for this unit. This is to reduce this unit overperforming in autoresolve.
As far as the game was concerned, this unit may have performed just as well as Hammerers, which is insane.)

Quality of Life Changes

Removed magical attacks

To compensate:
Recruitment cost is reduced by -75
Melee defence increased by +1
Weapon damage reduced by -5
Armour piercing weapon damage increased by +15
Increased mass by +50

No longer requires a secondary building to be recruited.
Updated the melee_weapon table with concistent details.
(Increased building damage, increased attack interval slightly, increased splash attacks max)

Fixed so they're now affected by the weapon strength bonus from "Grimnirs Heirs" skill".
No longer oddly affected by "Axe Lord" skill.

Removed Axe of Dargo as their weapon model.

Changed flavour text:
Old text: "Dwarfs that exceed the age of two hundred years gains the honourable title of Great beards. They're the wisest amongst the clan and are held at the highest value."
New text: "Those wisest amongst the clan and reaching the age of over 200 years are held at the highest value and become known as Great Beards."

Reduced unit quality
Added multiplayer qb_cap 2
Reduced Leadership from 85 to 80.
Reduced base health from 245 to 229
Reduced create time from 2 turns to 1 turns. (was already punishing enough since you require a landmark to recruit)

Added Great Beard's name to effects that applies to the unit, for further clarity.
"Call Upon Oaths of Old" and "Veterans' Pride" technologies now affect Great Beards.
