The point of this PR is to make HPL less effective against units like it was done with GS by reducing the damage modifier from 40 to 30 against Tracked Propulsion.
Currently HPL completely replaces GS because HPL is equally good against units and structures plus longer range.
With the new damage values, HPL will now deal basic damage with a burning spot with the same 0.5 tile radius but with significantly more burning damage per second, 180 instead of 50 and a reduced burning time from 6 to 3 seconds.
As a result, HPL will continue to be effective against structures and only stationary units.
Very little damage will be dealt to moving units, as they will move out of the burn radius almost immediately.
