Into the Battle! (v 1.4)

Hello! Version 1.4 is now released. The release is mainly devoted to the Battle Simulator - a new feature that allows to simulate combats between any number of regiments. Hence the name of the release. There are 6 types of battles available and I have prepare a detailed description in wiki: Battle simulator.

As the previous update raised a lot of questions, I have also created a wiki-page for the Military forces generation logic and configuration screens: Military forces. If happened to be more complex that many people expected.

Other changes include new layer to show Sea Ice and Glaciers. Ice is displayed in areas with average temperature lower than -2 °C with some variations. Icebergs can be manually edited. Routes tend to avoid areas with ice, so the change has an effect on how burgs and routes are getting generated.

The next change, which is an Elevation profile, is prepared by u/evolvedexperiment. It allows you to see the elevation profile of any route of river, that can be a really good feature for story-tellers. You can create a custom route showing your party travelling and open Elevation profile to get useful info about the route - not just elevation, but also biomes and towns on the way.

One more significant update is Image Converter enhancement. Now it should be much easier to convert images created in the Generator itself. For example you can turn a segment of a map into a new more detailed one or combine several heightmaps in Paint and then convert the image back to the Generator. It still would require a lot of work, but now the heightmap conversion part is significantly simplified.

I have also improved Names generator. Now it should be able to work with non-Latin scripts, but still not with right-to-left and hieroglyphic scripts. It should also follow the provided namesbase more precisely and not ignore non-letter characters like space and hyphen.

A new parameter is added to the Medieval Fantasy City Generator (MFCG) integration. This parameters allows MFGC to put sea on a correct side. Thanks Watawatabou for adding this feature!

The last significant change is Fogging restyle. Now it should look more like a fog than just a black screen. And of course a number of annoying bugs were fixed for this version.

Hope you will like the update!
