Archtower regional pricing



I'm updating regional prices according to recommended by Steam.

Base $11.99 cost is still the same, updated only regional prices.

This is the best time to do this, since near going Autumn and Winter Sales are finished and Spring Sale is coming in a few monthes, so I can update it now.
