First AI upgrade (v0.4.4)

Howdy, pardner!

There’s a new patch in town 🤠 Feel free to join the Discord server to discuss this update or look at sneak peeks for the next one! 😎

This patch improves some AI behaviour, making the AI players more fun to play against, but it does not fix the most egregious issues with pathing and movement.
