Remove Empire Mechanic Patch

Based from "Hunger Games: Battle Royale"
https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2060348770

The entire Imperial Authority is basically halted. No setting Elector Counts etc... All Diplomacy and Confederation options available right from the start. To compensate for removal of the Imperial Authority system, you'll automatically unlock each elector count troop and the respective runefang if you had owned the province every 5 turns until you get everything by turn 65.

All elector count effects automatically stack onto Franz or Gelt (depending who you start with). Volkmar gets the shaft here.. the effects will still apply to Franz, so you'll need to unlock him when starting with Volkmar.

You will also automatically receive 145 prestige per turn to use.

Useful for "Totally Random Total War Generator" as well.

=======================

There is also Westonsammy's version (based on HG)

Not 100% sure if that is working (based on the older method to remove the mechanic which seemed to no longer work when Twisted and Twilight came out but maybe he had better luck)
