improved loading screens

unit tweaks, rebalanced greek shields to be less than the best roman sheilds.

a good aspis is a 5
and the best roman scutum is a 10

also somehow dicovered that the base mod or something had a lvl 12 sheild on greek archers, who dont carry shields. so fixed that.

Updated:
* starting garrisons and buildings.
* adjusted rosters
