Hello everyone!

Another incremental update. It adds a promotion system that promotes a unit from the formation to officer instead of creating an entirely new one. This also uses the existing personalities to generate the officer perks.

I adds a couple of new items and contains a lot of fixes.

There was also an issue that could break all collisions during a battle. I've done some aggresive optimization which should resolve this issue and on top of that give extra frames for everyone that was CPU bound or during large cavalry engagements.

Thank you for all the support, as always!

If you have suggestions, bugs or just general ideas for the next update, feel free to join the discord or drop by in the discussions. Always happy to hear your input.
