Gelt AI makes dilemma choices

Intro:
In 3K, they have this cool system where you can simulate Ai factions choosing certain options in dilemmas that players get when playing as those factions (e.g should we kill the emperor, or release him) it's cool because it removes that feeling of "one experience for me, another for the AI"

Anyhow, I love the dilemmas Gelt gets in his new startpos, and I wanted to reflect that for players.

The new experience
When you play as Zhao Ming, as AI Gelt proceeds to conquer the Burning Wind Nomads, they will hit the criteria for three Incidents that will be presented to you. Generally speaking, the incidents should have wrapped up by around turn 20-25.

For any other faction, you will get a more generic message should Gelt return to his homeland.

The Criteria:
The criteria for these incidents are identicle to the criteria for the dilemmas presented to the player as Gelt.

• Gelt takes his first settlement from the nomads.
  
• Gelt secures his first province.
  
• Gelt defeats the Burning Wind Nomads.

How does the AI pick a dilemma choice?
I've given each option a percentage chance to be picked by the AI. You can modify this with MCT

• Dilemma 1: 30% Gelt ignores Zhao* | 35% Gelt helps | 35% Gelt helps but asks for stuff.
  
• Dilemma 2: 30% Gelt ignores Zhao* | 35% Gelt helps | 35% Gelt helps but asks for stuff.

* warlike response

Dilemma 3 has some fun maths depending on if the first dilemmas had warlike responses.
Stays ally | stays neutral | stays war | goes home

• No warlike: 40% | 40% | 5% | 15%
  
• 1 warlike: 35% | 45% | 10% | 10%
  
• 2 warlike: 20% | 60% | 20% | 0%

Do I lose resources if Gelt asks for it?
Nope, I've just assumed that the things Gelt asks for in these dilemmas are acquired from private reserves rather than your factions resources.

Are there any effects applied from these incidents
Yes, for some reason, the UI does not show this, but the incidents will apply the same effects as the base game dilemmas do. Most of this affects Gelt. For you, the outcomes are more diplomatic.
