Description of the proposed changes

Implements Discord balance discussion.

Increase fire beetle build time by reverting the previous build time decrease in #5548. Beetles have shown themselves to be extremely powerful in defensive situations and on the T2 stage. With the deceiver nerf in #6972 nerfing beetles in combat, this build time increase makes beetles require a larger infrastructure to build in large amounts for emergency defenses or for mixing into armies.

🐰 A unit gets slower, tick by tick,
Build time climbs from 550 quick!
