2.2.0

AI countries now build forts - this was done by making forts create a very trace amount of Innovation (0.001 per level, to be exact) which tricks AI funding logic into caring about forts.
- There is a known strange behavior where certain AIs in the mid-game and beyond may destroy all of their forts, probably due to exhausting their allocated innovation budget. There is not really a solution for this at this time.
Updated Polish and Korean localizations
Researching Dynamite now raises the Siege Ability from Combat Engineers from 4 to 6
Generals attacking or defending in a battle with forts involved now get a yellow modifier that reads out their total siege and entrenchment, respectively, to offer a slightly better glimpse into the math driving FAE.
Added new game rule to multiply AI Siege Ability in every battle to help AIs attack into states with forts.
- Default value is +50%; other options include None/no change, +100%, +200%, +300%, and +500%
- AIs may still struggle with attacking into forts by virtue of their army compositions being terrible (notably the lack of sufficient artillery); FAE will not attempt to address this.
Fixed some localizations having broken text for certain modifier types

2.1.3

Updated for 1.8+
- Fixed building icon
- Fixed soldiers & officers mortality modifiers not working
- Fixed localization for Forts Breached battle condition chance
- Caught some combat unit type and technology definitions up with latest as of Vic3 1.8.6
Normal Operations PM icon color is purple again
Created a fallback system to [try to] grant countries any missing fort max levels from technology; this should make FAE automatically compatible with any mods that overwrite the techs FAE changes

2.1.2

Fixed logic running after battles end incorrectly executing; this should solve some nuisance errors appearing in the error log, but it may potentially solve issues related to modifiers not disappearing after battle

Updated for 1.7

2.1.0

Fort states with multiple battles are now properly handled
Added a new "Partially-Weakened Fortifications" modifier
- The defending general will now get one of "Strong-", "Partially-Weakened-", or "Weakened Fortifications" modifiers based on how much of the fort bonuses have been reduced with the attackers' Siege Ability
- This is in contrast to the old behavior where "Strong Fortifications" only appeared if the attackers had 0 sieging and "Weakened Fortifications" appeared even if the sieging reduced the fort bonuses by 0.001%
Updated Korean localization
Fixed missing localization text for Fort Entrenchment (and Siege Ability) modifier descriptions
