Summary

SUMMARY: Balance "Rebalance triffids speeds based on mass and features"

Purpose of change

Rebalance triffids speeds based on mass and features.
Increase intervals between special_attacks to make it playable.

Describe the solution

Base at 80 kg - 70 speed.
Lower or higher mass, having special_attacks - lower speed.
I did not change the speed of monsters with the flag IMMOBILE.

mass speed monster
1 kg 40 sprig
40 kg 50 sprout, fighter (both have special_attacks)
81 kg 70 triffid
120 kg 80 beast (buffed speed due to "alarming speed")
120 kg 40 queen (have special_attacks)

Basic triffid is buffed. Speeds lowered: sprig, queen, vine beast.

special_attacks now have a visible delay.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Testing

9 strength, encumbrance in yellow, naginata in hands.
Aveage survivor now have a chance to kill a triffid heart.
Triffid queen now may walk a bit between casting a GROWPLANTS.
Over rough terrain, their non-plant-like speed is close to that of the survivor.

Why is this necessary? Fast triffids make an interesting challenge. Why should anyone assume that triffids move slower than survivors?

Major changes - are slower special_attacks. Now it's really hard for a survivor to pass among trees (GROWPLANTS - Spawns underbrush, or promotes it to > young tree > tree) or root walls (TRIFFID_HEARTBEAT - Grows and crumbles root walls around the player, and spawns more monsters).
They 'grow' with astonishing speed.

Movement speeds are slightly rebalanced to based on something - creature's mass and special attacks.
This change I can drop if needed.
