  2. Add multiplayer;

For Improving AI currently, I replace a calculation function that was checking if combat with the current party is risky with a simulation.

This solution should make AI more effective in leading the Demons of Envy.

Lukyly is working, here is the screenshot where the AI player tries to charge on town quite early but loses the battle:
