Repeated intro

Hello Steam ! Today's patch ships with several suggestions from our fellow community. First, please welcome the new member in the AI familly, the baby. That adorable baby AI will help newcomers familiarise themselves with their surroundings until they can hopefully take on actual challenges ! Exploring the world will now bring additional benefits in form of one time only resource loots that can be found on plains. This is a first pass and there will be more to it over time, for now when you see sacks of grain or gears on the ground simply visit the tile with an army to collect food or science. Also, first come first served so act fast ! AI military decisions are now affected by their difficulty which should contribute alongside the baby AI to offer an experience with a scallable difficulty for all tastes. This also fixes several issues with food gain and upkeep, so even without being the needed overhaul this is already a great step forward. There's also a new ambient music, the first of many more to come and a bunch of fixes, notably fixing some visual issues for multiplayer clients.
