0.7.0 Release Candidate 11

Due to popular demand, here are all the stuff since last release released. May contain half-finished stuff that is left enabled. I don't know.

I had enough trouble setting up Eclipse after a very long while and getting this to compile for Windows. I have no idea if it can be run somehow of Linux/OSX without recompiling. Feel free to try, and please do tell me how it works.

0.7.0-RC11 (13th of January 2021)

Note: This version may contain extra stuff, including unfinished content. It should be disabled but might not be. Large parts of changelog were composed quickly based on commits.

Code

• More robust handling of #copystats/clearfoo commands
• #price_per_command was treating all thresholds as 0, so any filter using this command was generally somewhat-to-very overpriced

• Balance: No shields on chariots (as per vanilla)
• Balance: Size-5 chariots cost more resources
• Balance: Cavern Wights and Dust Walkers are greedier and more recpoint hungry; tengu are more altruistic
• Balance: more expensive crabs, and non-elite crabs are less impressive
• Balance: regen filters more expensive on larger units/units with more HP, plus chariots can't get them
• Balance: nations with reanimation priests won't have national priests who cost less than 2 recpoints and they're more expensive

• Hippos!
• Sidhe/Vanir ages fixed: This changes recpoints somewhat closer to vanilla.

0.7.0 Release Candidate 9

THIS RELEASE REQUIRES JAVA 10 OR ABOVE. IT WILL NOT RUN ON JAVA 1.8.

Code

• Priests are now much more common as the T2 PD commander - ~75% instead of ~10%. This is in keeping with Dom5 numbers. T1 priests remain scarce. No priest-mages yet, but that's the next logical step.

0.7.0 Release Candidate 4

Code
