scenario alpha 0.1.6

Dear Community,

Big patch. In case you encounter problems, you can always load the "previous" branch in the steam beta settings. But we will try to hotfix asap in such a case.
We are greatful for everyone sending uns the automated bug reports. Rest assured that we don't collect any data except the savegame, crash text and in some cases game internal log data.
But most often there is no description added by the user so that it is hard/impossible to reproduce the crash. So please give us more infos on what you were doing last or supply your email adress for questions.
Thanks you very much!

Anyway, fixed about half of the crashes that were reported and solved the black tiles that were seen on Nookriums youtube video. Also implemented the new GUI!
And a lot of minor improvements :) Started adding more log info for the crashes we were unable to reproduce and continued the work on language support preparations.

- Fixed a bug with the menu background being of poor quality
- Maps for less than 4 players now only allow for the correct number of players in the lobby
- Fixed hunter getting stuck and not moving to trees.
- Fixed mini map dropping a hunter without a forest causing the hunter to slide toward a town, under an army.
- Fixed dropping a hunter on a tile that would allow him to stay under an army hidden (different than the mini map drop)
- Fixed bishops (and probably bailiffs) being the incorrect color when picked up caused by owner not being dh_dynamic[? "owner"].

New:

- Modified tooltip box to pop up above the cursor so the cursor isn't blocking half of it

currently hotfixing an issue with the notification system crashing. reverted the game version back to 0.1.4 so the performance will be a bit slower for a few hours until we uploaded the fix. Sorry for the inconvenience :)
