Improved the way the AI manages settlers: AI empires will tend to produce more Settlers and give them smarter colonisation missions.
Added the possibility to build Trebuchets until the end of Industrial Era.
Increased the maximum number of opponents on tiny maps to 4.
Added information about pollution malus when clearing a Forest.
Merged veterancy Combat Strength bonuses in the attack preview UI.
