Community Fixes

This is a community-lead effort to fix the vanilla game experience. No balance or consistency changes, just the fixes.

As long as the error is relatively easy to fix on the XML side of the game and the community is aware, this mod will contain the fix.

Some of these fixes couldn't be reported in time for the prepatch preview version.

Current version that applies is official version and prepatch preview beta version.

Prepatch preview changes
All of those are included except the academy fix with isander's gambit competitive quest (doesn't work).

Added a ZIP file with the entire files changed, always updated with latest version, for people that don't play multiplayer and want achievements. They can replace the files from the ZIP with the ones in the public folder (kind of manually patching the game).
