This patch replaces the model of the monastery, adds a quest menu and fixes some bugs.
From now on, the quest menu will display all active tasks in the city. In addition, the compass function has been reworked to display the position of events and items in the world in an updated way. The end of the world is now displayed more realistically thanks to new geometry at the edges of the map, as well as new skybox shaders. We were also able to fix some bugs in AI castle building, market cart management, and UI.
