Gameplay and UI
-Added stealth system
-- The way it works is that units can have stealth level from 1-3, when a unit walks adjacent to it the sheathed unit the unit is revealed for 3 turns, if more players discover it the reveal time increases, kinda like a heat system, there are techs for kingdoms that allow them to spot stealthed units more easily just by rolling a concentration save if a unit s in their LOS, this tech also has 3 levels, at level 1, it will let you more easily reveal stealth level one units and the next is stealth level 2 units and so on.
--The stealth system is used not only be units but also by Ruins, by portals, and by green gremlins, by bandits, and by cults, and by ratpeople and the lawlessness scenario has been reworked to teach this mechanic as well as the tech mechanic.
--Your undetected stealthed units now have an icon under them of a ? mark to show that they are hidden. There are also many more new icons, one for when units are in vigil mode, one for showing how many techs are applied to a unit, one for the crime debuff and so on.
