Demo Hotfix - July 19 - Fixes, gameplay settings and more localization setup

This hotfix isn't really a shiny one. It focuses on some fixes, often that are found by players 10+ hours in as that is when some of that content starts unlocking. Also adding helpful usability gameplay settings, tweaked how sieges worked, revamped ranger stations and adjusted some enemy AI. There is a lot more in the backend for future localization, such as supporting Chinese characters and centralizing all the text to translate. Plus I built up my automated testing suite to help catch some of the above issues sooner.

Tip: - Trading is a great way to make money in the early game. It is very low risk and allows you to afford early equipment upgrades
