Improved Dynasty Legacies

I've seen a couple of Legacy mods in the workshop but they all tend to make them too OP in one way or another so this is my attempt at balancing out the Legacies so each legacy can stand its own weight in their respective levels.

If there are any issues or balance changes that may be needed, please leave a comment with your suggestions.

I haven't made any changes to Norse legacies because they are already quite powerful in their own right. May change in the future.
