This creates a slightly larger chicken model, which helps with visual
identification at the start of the match. I have seen multiple let's
plays where finding the initial chickens took too long (in my opinion),
because I believe they are too small for the game world.

This is a very unique technology that trades in melee citizen-soldier
infantry in exchange for unlocking Legionaries. Legionaries are similar
to Skiritai except they are cheaper.The idea is that these units can
form the bulk of the Roman army, so they should be cheap, but powerful.
Additional champions remain to supplement these units. And for improved
engagement with Centurions, they gain a special second aura just for
Legionaries, called 'Century Maneuvers"

This mixin is genericized in order to be useful for other units if
desired. It adds a splash attack, but removes some regular attack to
balance. With this, a champion or other unit can be easily
differentiated. In this instance, it is applied to the Macedonians'
champion swordsman, the Thracian Black Cloak. These guys use the very
long Rhomphaia and Sika swords of Thraco-Dacian origin.

Reduce prepare time for catapults and bolt shooters. Catapults have
recently been nerfed and buffed with a small splash attack. Bolt
shooters are a little underutilized. Both of these units share a
'clunkiness' which is due to their pack/unpack time, minimum range, and
long prepare time. This patch hopes to address part of this clunkiness
by decreasing the prepare time for catas and bolt shooters. This makes
the unit seem more responsive to new commands to attack a different
unit/structure.

Attempts to address Invalid warning messages for capturable farmsteads
and creates a mixin as suggested by @Langbart
Renames the "farmsteads_" template files to "mill_" to eliminate
confusion with standard buildable farmsteads and changes the refs in the
skirmish maps to suit.
Genericizes the name to Rotary Mill instead of Farmstead, again to
eliminate confusion between the two (the former is a capturable map
object, while the latter is a player-buildable structure).

Catapults and heavy warships received a nerf to their range, which was
also designed to stop infinite targeting of structures outside of vision
range. This was a substantial nerf, from 100 range to 85. This change
compensates for this range reduction by slightly improving their
versatility.
This is not the same splash we have seen in previous alphas, as it is
only a radius of one meter. It also makes them exciting as you could
land some epic shots if your enemy is very tightly bunched.

When playing a network game with at least one AI, and an AI dies, after
a while there will be an increasing lag on the system, eventually
freezing the screen for e.g. 4 seconds every 5 seconds.
It turned out that once the AI is dead, the savedEvents grew endlessly.
Causing issues down the line (hashing).
That is now fixed by discarding savedEvents when the AI is defeated.

This differentiates Sparta by giving them P1 champions, a Hero-oriented

Sparta should rely heavily on their extremely powerful melee infantry,

Since 281bb0b2ec, opening the 'Options' menu in-game will show that
there are pending changes, even if the user has done nothing.
Unfortunately the cinematic logic to hide silhouettes, which comes from
cfd08bbf28, is broken following those changes. We use the configuration
to hide them, which results in us, indeed, changing the configuration.
There isn't really a good short term fix. This change only attemps to
reset the setting if we changed it for a cinematic, which fixes the
issue, but has drawbacks.
Ideally, we would use a superior config level, but we need to be careful
about exposing that to JS.

Similar trick to D3446 / c87229aa48 - we can short-circuit if we find
units that match our best possible preference.
This is, in particular, almost a 40% wall time improvement on Combat
Demo Huge, but it should apply in a number of more normal cases.

This functions is amongst the most called in JS, so it's important to
make it speedy.
- Bugfix: if 'originalValue' is falsy, the result was never cached. This
in particular affected the minRange of archers, which is 0. It's a large
optimisation on combatDemoHuge, but the effect elsewhere is less likely
to be noticeable.
- Don't go through the helper to get the player Entity ID, in this case
it's slower.
- Concat is slower than Flat() in this case according to my profiling.
- Some micro-optimisation by strict equality.

According to JIT profiling on SM 115, using ForEach is faster than
iterating.
This is a micro optimisation, maybe 2% faster for OnUpdate, which means
we might see an overall improvement < 0.4%.
The reason this is faster here is that Iterating needs to construct an
array to store the result, whereas ForEach just uses the values
directly. This means this probably doesn't apply to iterating if we
don't need both the key/value pair.

CmpPosition::TurnStart checks whether the territory changed underneath
each entityevery turn. The only user of this is TerritoryDecay
(structures, for the most part). It is rather inefficient to have this
done for all entities.
The simplest solution is to listen to position-changed messages in
TerritoryDecay instead. This should hardly ever happen in vanilla 0
A.D., except in Atlas, so it's basically free.
This sort of reverts 19965ce37a (original implementation) and

Right now usernames for the lobby can consist solely of numbers and
special characters. This can result in nonsensical usernames and is
prone to be abused. While we can't entirely prevent nonsensical
usernames, we can at least do a bit better.
Therefore, this adjusts the rules for the validation of new lobby
usernames in pyrogenesis. Previously these rules were:
- length: between 1 and 20 characters
- valid characters: lower- and uppercase letters, numbers, ".", "_", "-"
The new rules are:
- length: between 3 and 20 characters
- valid characters: lower- and uppercase letters, numbers, ".", "_", "-"
- must contain at least one letter
These validation changes are relevant for new user registrations only
and don't affect existing users. As this also just adjusts the
client-side validation, users will also still be able to register
usernames according to the old rules, e.g. when using an older version
of 0 A.D., until the same change gets rolled out at a later point in
time server-side as well.
