##CHANGES

Griots:
-Added 'Griots' game concept
-To appoint a griot you must be a duke or above, and landed. Slight increase in gold cost from 30 to 50.
-For a player to take the griot epic decision they must be a duke or higher.
-For the AI to take griot epic decision they must be a king or higher, not be of the player's dynasty, and have a certain combination of traits, such as gregarious, arrogant, scholar, theologian, ambitious or diligent. If they have other traits like shy, paranoid, content etc. they will be less likely. These requirements should act as a fairly solid gate on the AIs taking the decision too much.
