Summary0021546: Hive Golem Buffs -- Return to its former glory
DescriptionBackground/problem: The Hive Golem, back in classic, was so epic that the AI HW's had its version of a dark spire ward on their HWs. They were super fun and memorable. The current iteration lacks any real resemblance, as yellowjackets are gnats compared to classic's counterpart.

Fix:
1. The Hive Golem should exclusively make drones in the spirit of Classic's; no other fleet craft allowed (no swapping). These should be buffed in power/magnitude *tremendously*
2. To keep this unit RNG friendly, it would interesting to add several variants to the yellowjacket with unique modifiers. Tarantula Hawk (paralysis); Hornet (low-cap, x10 base stats); Locusts (vampirism), for examples

* Hive Golems are now a Lone Wolf Fleet.
** Any existing ones will still have their units in their Fleet, but the Objectives list will call it a Lone Wolf. Fixed in new games.

* Pentripled the Yellow Jacket count in Hive Golems, doubled the build speed, and nearly halved the cost of the Jackets.

* Hive Golems cost 30AIP to capture, instead of 20.
** Pre-Emptive increase, since...wow, those things can pack a huge punch now.
** These changes still don't make it match Classic, but with Fleet Experience, Puffin is a bit...cautious for now.

See how they are if you get any.

Ovalcircle pointed out to me that Pentripled isn't a word apparently - they have 250 Jackets now, not 50.
