Realistic Panic Behavior for LW2

Changes the panic rules according to the table included in the mod screencaps. Click the image so it's not blurry anymore or read on.

RULES:
> One movement, one action. The units can use Dash moves and very, very seldom fire on aliens or teammates (trust me, it's bearable).

> Unit behavior is directly dependent on how many HPs it has left when it panics. As your HP drops, your possible moves and actions become less and less safe in the sense that your movement might put you into trouble (or not move at all!)

> If you have a 0 Willpower score, your unit will not move nor act and freeze in place.

> 10% of the time, the Action section is skipped and your second action is another movement instead, unless your first movement was a dash then this doesnt apply to you as you dont have any actions left.

-= ORIGINAL BEHAVIOR =-

LW2 units Hunker Down in place immediately. No movement is allowed.

-= A TWIST =-

Note that the Panic Root ALSO applies to Aliens and ADVENT just as it does to you.

-= RECOMMENDATIONS =-

Honestly if you don't play with Red Fog on for all units, you'll probably see your units dash halfway across the map into enemy territory. This mod was balanced around the fact damaged units move less and hit targets less. If you play with this as-is without Red Fog, you are in for a surprise when your squad panics.

-= COMPATIBILITY =-
LW2 1.1
Includes some AI stuff from Long War (Dash to lower cover), don't use with Vanilla.

-= REMOVAL =-
If you remove this mod, your current tactical game will use it until you're back in the avenger, then it's gone. So if you want to remove this, save outside of tactical.
