Doc - Civilization and unit statistics for AoE I

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

This PR includes documentation regarding the original Age of Empires I
(not Rise of Rome). Rise of Rome will probably be implemented in another
PR.

The scoring system and civilization specials and unit/building creation
table are completely documented.

• Scoring system
• Civilization specials
• Civilization unit/building creation table
• Unit statistics
  • Name
  • Age
  • Hit points
  • Attack
  • Attack Type
  • Reload time
  • Melee and Pierce Armor
  • LOS
  • Ranged accuracy
  • Speed
  • Training time
  • Resource cost
  • Special attributes

Feedback is appreciated regarding the formatting; I am not sure if this
is sufficient or if the documentation should be located elsewhere.

Some of the missing values can be found here. Might be worth to integrate them.

You need an extra line of -|- between the header row and the content. Otherwise it will not be recognized as a table in Markdown.

Civilization | Bonus
-------------|------
Assyrian | +40% Archery Range unit fire rate; Villagers 30% faster.
Babylonian | Double wall and tower hit points; +30% Priest rejuvenation rate; +30% stone mining.
Choson | +80 Long Swardsman and Legion hit points, +2 tower range, -30% Priest cost

looks like this

Civilization	Bonus
Assyrian	+40% Archery Range unit fire rate; Villagers 30% faster.
Babylonian	Double wall and tower hit points; +30% Priest rejuvenation rate; +30% stone mining.
Choson	+80 Long Swardsman and Legion hit points, +2 tower range, -30% Priest cost

Thanks. I didn't notice it until I viewed the markdown files with github's webinterface.
I have corrected the markdown formatting issues and fixed some typos.

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

I've added the melee, pierce armor as well as the reload and training
time. The documents are also reformatted to make it more readable in a
text editor.

I am not sure how the ranged accuracy is determined. I don't think there
was such a thing as accuracy in the ol' Age of Empires. The line of
sight is the only column that's left then.

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

Nevermind my question about accuracy in my previous comment. I've
completed the table for the original Age of Empires. I am going to
create another for Rise of Rome in another branch, because that's going
to take some more time.

I noticed a merge conflict in copying.md because another contributor has
been added as well, but I can't figure how to pull the changes into my
master branch and rebase this branch on top of it. Any suggestions how I
should fix this?

Nice job !
Just a quick question for the scoring. For the bonus point when you have the largest number of x, how does it works with equalities ?

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

Good question, in case of equality there should not be any player that
gets a bonus for the largest number. However, the game engine does pick
one player that gets the bonus. The player that gets the bonus is
defined by a couple of factors:

• If player X gets the largest number before player Y does, X gets the
  bonus before Y does and keeps the bonus.
• If both players get the largest number at the same gametick the player
  with the lowest index (i.e. the game engine's internal assigned
  identifier) gets the bonus

[Tomatower]

Can you include these insights regarding bonuses at equality into the documentation as well. else it might get lost?

[Tomatower]

Thank you very much for these amazing insights.

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

You're welcome. It's great to see this project is still going strong. I
would be very happy to add support for the original Age of Empires and
for Rise of Rome as well. :D

off-topic: we've reached one hundred contributors 🎉

[FolkertVanVerseveld]

Do I have to rebase it onto upstream or should I leave it as it is? I
think it is ready to be merged.

thanks :)
