Improve Gollum's intelligence to make skirmish battles more interesting.

In skirmish battles of LOTR:BFME II, it can be very annoying when the enemy declares ""they have the ring"" and get it back to their fortress before you have a chance to react. This mod greatly improves Gollum's AI so that 90 percent of the time the enemy will not be able to trap and kill him (and get the ring). He will run all over the map frantically trying to avoid both you and the enemy using his Elven cloak of invisibility to help him. If he finds a peaceful spot, he will ""camp"" there untill anyone comes too close for comfort. When you are ready and feel you have a strong enough force to track gollum down, you can use your stealth detection units or powers to find and kill him. The Dwarves can use the newly modded and upgraded ""hearth"" battle wagon (new big detection range - part of this mod) and the Goblins can use a ""bats"" upgrade which will detect Gollum over a huge area. Battle towers also have a good chance of detecting him and most units in general if they get close enough to his hiding place. This makes Gollum a mini game in itself during skirmish
