General
Added a new Nightmare difficulty level
- Nightmare difficulty now replaces Hardcore difficulty.
- Nightmare is substantially harder, and is meant for players who found Hard too easy.
- Existing save files can switch to Nightmare difficulty in the Options menu.
Added a Standard or Hardcore game mode selection
- Standard: Units will respawn after being defeated in combat.
- Hardcore: Units cannot be used again after being defeated in combat (aka. perma-death).
- Previous saves made on the old Hardcore difficulty will now use the new Hardcore game mode.

- Standard or Hardcore modes can only be selected when making a New Game, and cannot be changed later.
