CHANGES
- Insufficient meals/housing/outhouses are now all yellow-level issues

- Compass spots characters/creatures a bit further away
- Rebalanced options for citizen taxation & soldier salaries
- Updated ordering/categories for resources
- Muskets are a bit less accurate by default (additional penalty vs moving targets reduced slightly)
- Outlaw melee attacks stop tracking targets slightly earlier
- Vertical central vision FOV increased for NPCs (more likely to instant detect nearby players above them)
