Headline changes

Zealot leader generals have a new action 'Apply Enlist'
Reworked Regencies
Added option to disable tile improvement recommendations

Design

Zealot leader generals have a new action 'Apply Enlist', which gives their next kill a 100% chance to Enlist for 3 turns, for the cost of 600 civics. This replaces their previous 10% chance to enlist on kill.
Reworked regencies:
- Regents no longer lead to legitimacy decay as normal leader changes do.
- The Rightful Heir will automatically become the Chosen Heir and this cannot be changed by the Regent.
- Regents no longer cause others in the line of succession to become bypassed on becoming Regent or on giving up the throne.
- Regents who do not give up the throne become Usurpers and do cause others in the line of succession to become bypassed.
The free Garrison in your Capital and Fair from a Traders seat can now appear on any valid tile instead of only on existing urban tiles. As before, the locations of these can be set by using improvement pings.
Exiting a cloud game mid turn will now save your progress and no longer reset to the start of the turn on reload
Urban tiles no longer placed under tribal settlements unless they are city sites (applies when City Sites number is modified)
Pharaohs of the Nile campaign - No leader turns family opinion penalty no longer applies
Pharaohs of the Nile scenario 3 - Reduced raids and increased Amun units on higher difficulties
Pharaohs of the Nile scenario 6 - Climate change induced Nile flooding now has a 10 turn grace period

Enabled Extreme Terrain and Tribal Lands map options for multiplayer Continent and Donut map scripts and Tribe Number map option for multiplayer Seaside and Bay map scripts
