Design

• Killing or hiring a tribe unit no longer immediately changes the number of turns until the next tribe unit spawns from the closest site

• Immobile cooldown gets converted to Attacked at the end of the unit's turn, similar to what happens with Stunned

• In the Barbarian Horde scenario, the Huns are no longer organized

• Added All Player filter to Map Search

• Map Search can now be closed by clicking any top tab, in addition to clicking the Map Search icon

• Updated Luxuries concept/link text to list all luxuries dynamically

• Added succession to Upgrade Character text

• Renamed Game option 'No Organized Tribes' to 'Disable Organized Tribes'

Bugs Fixed
