Repeated intro

Hello everybody! Here is the latest patch for The Fifth Day, focusing primarily on reworking and producing a better baseline for the AI. I was able to address some of the key concerns expressed by the community, but I still have plenty of interesting ideas for producing more dynamic AI behavior in the future. I greatly appreciate everybody's help in offering suggestions and posting bug reports in the designated forums; your support is extremely valuable to both myself and the development of a community behind the project, so thank you for being such an awesome group of people! In other news, the development team is expanding! Over the past couple of weeks, I have spoken to and added a second developer to the project in hopes of adding new ideas and content to future updates. Below you can find a full change list for this update:
