## Description:
- **Nations now specifically target AFK players, traitors, and players
who are already being attacked (they gang up on them).** Depends on the
difficulty.
- Added ally assistance directly to the attack order (instead of calling
it separately beforehand).
- Added ally assistance to `findBestNukeTarget`.
- Removed some checks from `findBestNukeTarget` (not necessary; better
checks will follow in a dedicated nuking PR).
- Relation updates on attack now depend on difficulty (makes Easy &
Medium nations a bit easier).
- On betrayal, every nation in the game previously received a –40
relation penalty toward the betrayer. That was too extreme, so now this
only applies only to neighbors.
- Nations send fewer alliance requests now; it felt like too many
before.
- In team games, nations may now reject alliance requests more often
(depending on difficulty).
- To ensure there are enough non-friendly players to stop the crown with
nukes, nations may now reject alliance requests if the other player has
too many alliances (on Hard and Impossible difficulty).
- Rebalanced nation emoji usage a bit.
- Nations may now send an emoji when they get MIRVed.

## Description:
Previously, nations just spammed these two rather toxic emojis: 🤡😡
They now send fewer emojis while attacking, and the clown emoji is
reserved for special cases.
They got the ability to send emojis in much more cases:
- Human didn't donate enough for relation update
- Human did donate an ok amount
- Human did donate a lot
- Responding to emojis that they get sent from a human
- Nuke sent
- MIRV sent
- Retaliation warship sent
- Traitor tries to ally
- Threat asks for / accepts an alliance request
- Disliked human tries to ally
- Friendly human tries to ally
- They are getting attacked by very much troops
- They are getting attacked by very little troops
- Congratulating the winner
- Bragging with their crown
- Charming their allies
- Clown-Emoting traitors
- Easteregg: Sending a rat emoji to very small humans

## Description:
Relevant for singleplayer and HumansVsNations:
Humans sometimes try to flood the entire ocean with warships. The goal
is to dominate the trade and to block transport ships.
The already existing `trackTransportShipsAndRetaliate` and
`trackTradeShipsAndRetaliate` methods can't stop these large scale
infestations, the nations are completely helpless.
The new `counterWarshipInfestation` method checks if a nation is one of
the top 3 richest players (Enough money for warships) and if any enemy
(or enemy team) has accumulated more than 10 (for teams total 15)
warships, then builds a counter-warship targeting that threat.
This feature only activates on Hard or Impossible difficulty.
Thats how it can look, nations send out a warship every couple of
seconds, until the infestation threat is gone:

## Description:
1. Players complained that they have problems allying with nations in
the earlygame. So I added an `isEarlygame()` check to
`AllianceBehavior`. This should make the easier difficulties much easier
:)
2. The attack order of nations now depends on the difficulty. Easy and
medium nations got dumbed down, they now take nuked territory before
retaliating against attacks again.
3. The attack rate now depends on the difficulty. Easy nations are
reacting slower than impossible nations (to make sure the number of sent
alliance requests stays the same I removed the difficulty check in
`maybeSendAllianceRequests()`).
4. On easy and medium difficulty nations will sometimes just skip an
attack if the enemy is a human (`shouldAttack()`). But this did not
apply for the nuking logic. Now it does, which makes the easier
difficulties a bit easier.
5. I tuned the `getBotAttackMaxParallelism()` method a bit. The nations
are doing a bit less parallel bot attacks now, which makes the easier
difficulties a bit easier.
6. The settings in MIRVBehavior now depend on the difficulty. On easy
difficulty, nations will only send MIRVs very rarely.
7. Unrelated MIRVBehavior Cleanup: There was a 2 second cooldown and
cache logic. But it was completely useless because `considerMIRV()` is
only called every 4-8 seconds by NationExecution. So I removed it.
8. Unrelated little cleanup: I made a couple of methods `private`

## Description:
1. Moved the currently very small betrayal logic from `AiAttackBehavior`
to `NationAllianceBehavior` because it makes more sense to have it
there.
3. Very small bugfix in `AiAttackBehavior::shouldAttack()`: the numbers
in the two `random.chance` calls were the wrong way round.
4. `NationExecution` was quite big and a lot of it was about MIRVs. So I
moved all the MIRV logic to the new `NationMIRVBehavior`.
5. `emoji()` and `maybeSendEmoji()` did not really fit in
`AiAttackBehavior`. So I moved it to the new `NationEmojiBehavior` (and
did some renaming for clarity). I'm planning to extend that class in a
future PR.
2. Reordered methods in `AiAttackBehavior` to easily find related
methods.
6. Reordered methods in `NationExecution` to easily find related
methods.

## Description:
1. Using the wording `"Nation"`, `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` at the same
time is confusing.
So I renamed every mention of `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` in the entire
project to `"Nation"`. Just like they are called ingame.
2. `BotBehavior.ts` was originally intended for sharing the logic
between nations and bots.
But at the moment, the logic there isn't really shared and it's
basically just about attacking.
So I renamed `BotBehavior.ts` to `AiAttackBehavior.ts`. I use "Ai" to
indicate that this file is used by bots AND nations.
3. Moved `execuction/utils/AllianceBehavior.ts` to
`execuction/nation/NationAllianceBehavior.ts` to make sure everybody
understands that this file is not about alliances in general. It's just
about nations and how they handle alliances.
4. Removed `difficultyModifier` from `DefaultConfig`. It's unused and I
think we usually want to finetune the difficulty instead of using that
method.
5. Added `assertNever` in all `switch (difficulty)` default cases.

## Description:
1. Create forceSendAttack function so nations expand faster at the start
(their reserve troop ratio was too low, causing them to skip the first
attack
2. modify the perceived cost modifier to reduce the number of defense
posts built.
3. Updated how random land is selected to avoid player.tiles() since
that can be millions of entries.
4. Improve performance of valueFunction by using closestTile and
reducing the number of tiles checked.
5. Nations now launch hydros if they have enough gold.
6. used boundBox instead of bfs because doing a large bfs for h-bombs
can get expensive.
7. Modified perceived multiplayer to remove cap and scale super-linearly
to discourage nations from spamming too many building. Instead they are
more likely to spend that money on nukes.
