## Description:
In this example, the two nations DONT see each other as neighbors, but
as ISLANDERS. Because they dont have a direct border connection, there
is water in between.

/>
This is a big problem, because most of the logic in AiAttackBehavior
gets ignored. Only the "islander" strategy runs (late, because its a
not-important strat).
### Summary
- `PlayerImpl.neighbors()` now includes cross-water neighbors: a new
`shoreReachableNeighbors()` helper samples every 10th shore border tile
and looks up to 5 tiles in each cardinal direction across water, finding
land owners on the other side (covers rivers up to 4 tiles wide).
- `AiAttackBehavior.maybeAttack()` extends the `hasNonNukedTerraNullius`
check to also trigger on TN detected via `player.neighbors()`, so
nations notice and pursue TN that is only reachable across a river.
- `sendAttack()` uses a new `hasLandBorderWithTerraNullius()` land-only
adjacency check to decide between a land attack and a boat attack for
TN, rather than `sharesBorderWith()` which includes water tiles.
- Added `sendBoatAttackToNearbyTerraNullius()`: when no TN land is
directly adjacent, the AI scans its shore border tiles for unowned land
across water and dispatches a transport ship.
### Also works for Tribes!
Tribes can boat rivers now, really cool.

- Maybe greet nearby players with a 👋 emoji in the earlygame (make

updates the relation (mainly on higher difficulties)

## Description:
For v29, balances the HvN winrate.
In team games, nations now donate troops to their weakest team members
(if they have no attack options available).
How often they donate depends on the difficulty.
This PR also has some other little fixes:
- For HvN games, always return true in `shouldAttack()` (make nations a
bit more aggressive).
- Early exit in `attackWithRandomBoat()` for performance
- Early exit in `findNearestIslandEnemy()` for performance AND to make
sure nations which are encircled by friends don't run into this method
(=> no donation happening!)

## Description:
### `NationAllianceBehavior`
- `isAlliancePartnerSimilarlyStrong()` now also checks for
`numTilesOwned`, should make it a bit easier to get alliances. The troop
calculation now also uses the players `outgoingAttacks` to make it feel
less random. OF-Discord-Humans complained.
- Rebalanced `checkAlreadyEnoughAlliances()` a bit
### `NationNukeBehavior`
- Don't save up for MIRV if they are disabled
- Don't try to throw atom bombs / hydros if they are disabled
- Hydro-Nations are allowed to throw atom bombs if they are under heavy
attack
- Rebalance `isUnderHeavyAttack()` a bit
- Increased perceived cost
### `NationEmojiBehavior`
- Fix multiple nations congratulated the winner instead of one
- Don't brag with our crown if the game is already over
### `DonateGoldExecution` & `DonateTroopExecution`
- Added `canSendEmoji` checks

## Description:
### Refactor
- Moved `maybeSpawnWarship()` from `NationExecution` to
`NationWarshipBehavior`
- Moved `maybeAttack()` (and sub-methods) from `NationExecution` to
`AiAttackBehavior`
### Betrayal
- Added nice betrayal logic in `maybeBetray()`. Previously that method
was basically just a placeholder for a future implementation.
### Attacking
- Added `veryWeak()` attack strategy for hard and impossible difficulty
nations attack orders to target MIRVed players with higher priority
- Optimized the `weakest()` attack strategy so that nations don't attack
stronger players. This should make nation-attacks feel less random
(humans complained in discord)
- `findNearestIslandEnemy()` and `randomBoatTarget()` also no longer
returns stronger players
- `afk()` and `hated()` attack strategies no longer return MUCH stronger
players
- Several tiny refactorings, fixes and balance optimizations in
`AiAttackBehavior`
### Emojis
- Added some `canSendEmoji()` because I saw some "cannot send emoji"
warnings in the console

## 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:
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.
