• Tweak -Reduced territory payroll a little per territory (750->650)

• Deleted - Automated 50cal turrets from stores

Comments:

• I'll be on holidays from uni for a few weeks after this week so I'm hoping to have some more substantial updates coming out after then
• Please give staff feedback on these small balance changes, we hope they will make things better on the newer players
