* Made joining group random events 3x more common
* Added new end of turn random event 'Merc group glory story' (+150-1150 new recruits for random merc group)
* Made random events in general at the end of turn slightly more common
ULTIMATE EMPIRE VICTORY (1 feature)
You can play on beyond this, but hitting 25000 lands under your belt gets you a victory screen as that is pretty much the pinnacle!
* Added ultimate empire victory screen for hitting 25000 lands in Warsim (credit u/Somberclaus)
MERC RECRUITMENT (4 features)
Mercs don't currently grow unless you provide them with troops, this means that after a while used up groups become pretty weak and you kind of have to wait for them to fizzle out, or hire them just to kill them off to clear space. Well no longer, now groups will recruit each turn and grow slowly, this also scales with discovering new lands meaning later game merc groups recruit 100s per turn.
* Added merc recruitment for active merc companies (random troops of up to half leaders battlescore per turn)
* Added merc recruitment pop up in normal events text
* Added merc recruitment pop up in good event text if you own the group
* Added merc recruitment buffs +10% each time new lands are discovered (stacking infinitely)
GOBLIN JESTERS (3 features)
A funny thought now reality, these 'jokes' are quite something... as in they are terrible.
* Added new throne room encounter 'Goblin Jester'
* Added 25 GPT generated Goblin "jokes"
* Added 5 alternate intro texts for Goblin jester
ELYK IMPROVED (3 features)
I came across good old Elyk in a recent run through, puked in front of him and passed out with no reaction. That has changed now!
* Fixed Elyk drunkeness not sending you home
* Added special event if you pass out drinking with Elyk
* Added 5 special reactions if you puke while drinking with Elyk
ADVENTURER ATTACKS (1 feature, 1 bug fix)
It's annoying when an adventurer group is a bit too strong for a warband, now you can send a bigger one to keep them in check!
* Fixed sending warparty to wiped adventurer group doesn't kill any of your troops if warparty is killed off
* Added ability to send large warband (5x the size) to attack adventurers (credit u/Somberclaus)
SIT AND PONDER (2 features)
Ever wanted to sit and ponder on your throne? No, Just me... Well now you can anyway.
* Added ability to sit and ponder on your throne when all visitors are gone
* Added 10 different thoughts for sitting on the throne

A little batch of bugs fixed!

EVERYTHING ELSE (2 features and changes)
Some new jokes and a few changes thanks to vigilant community members!
