Made some changes so Borg wouldn't be less likely to build Alpha Quadrant wonders. Had to change the obsolescence of Memory Alpha to an earlier tech, Polyduranium because of these adjustments.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The KOBAYASHI NO-WIN option is now the only option. The easier set of events has been done away with. Instead, there are species specific event files to give the AI an upper hand.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The home systems have been adjusted to give each of the major races the same rate of expansion for AI. Klingons no longer have 5 goodie huts in their home system
