Stupid Lifeguard

Description
"Stupid" units that move on their own still have a bad habit of walking on frozen water during late winter. This mod attempts to alleviate this issue by adding new traits that do not impact game play/balance significantly. For stupid flying units the "floating" trait is added which prevents exhaustion when flying over water, but no other benefits that the flyer trait didn't already provide. For non-flyers the "winteridle" behavior is added which makes the units hold their current position during the winter months. For any Stupid units not listed, they either already had floating, or had a wandering behavior that overrides winteridle.

Floating added:
Angel
Angelic Warrior
Harbinger
Arch Angel
Seraph
Celestial Lion
Strange Seraph
Imp Messenger
Raven Spy
Elder Dragon
Fire Dragon
Bile Dragon
Frost Dragon
Storm Dragon
Dusk Dragon

Winter idle added:
Satyr Reveler
Maenad
Carrion Beast
Carrion Stalker
Carrion Manikin
Scourge Ant
Scourge Ant Queen
Giant Spider Queen
Giant Ant Queen
Giant Ant

Custom event that checks for Voice of El High Inquisitors and Grand Masters on frozen water in late winter, changing their tile to a walkable Fjord if true.

The modding is not that flexible where we can alter what a specific command does, and as far as I know there is not another way to give/take movement points based on season/month. However, I do have a potential fix I'm testing in another mod where frozen water is changed to another solid terrain before it melts using a custom event. If that seems to be working as intended that will get added here.

Hm. In that case, can you make winteridle act as immobile during winter months? Just. Give them 0 action points.

Unfortunately based on my testing most stupid leaders have other commands to guide their movement that overrides winter idle.

Shouldn't stupid leaders idle?

Sweet

All set!

Good point. Might still be worth adding for druidism casters who summon giant ants.

Currently this doesn't include other giant ants, only the scourge variety. I don't see any harm in adding it though. I think the effect on the spread of ants in general is kind of a wash, they move less in winter, but there's less dead via drownings.

Does this effect other Giant Ants, which are tameable by druids and such and are stupid. Because if it did it almost sounds like it could slightly decrease the speed of an antpocalypse.
