Serflings 0.24.0

There is a new version available for Serflings: https://serflings.simpleguide.net/

The next big step for the computer players has been made. All actions except attacking are now finished. I also took a step towards a replacement for the special click. Some actions which needed a special click before are now possible with a single click. If you don't like this you may enable the classic click again in the config file. In addition to these changes this version also provides some general improvements and fixes.

- The computer players do now burn buildings if there are no more resources available (forester, woodcutter, stonecutter, mines)
- The computer players do now burn foresters or farms (corn) if they are no longer needed
- The computer players do now release the contents of a stock if it is in danger of beeing destroyed
- The computer players do now build additional paths to support existing ones
- #2 The calculation of the statistics for players and production has completely been rewritten and verified with the original game. This also fixes the crazy statistics for military
- #18 It is now possible to take a screenshot by pressing the print key. The screenshots will be saved in subfolder screenshot
- The fast-map-click from the original game (double-click right) is now finally possible in Serflings. You may disable it by changing the option fastMapClick in the config file. Big thanks to Switzerland for the patience :)
- Some additional actions do no longer need a special click to execute (demolition, building a flag while building a path). The special click for these actions may be activated again by changing the option specialClickAdditional in the config file
- If additional special click is disabled (specialClickAdditional), the game will now indicate if it is possible to build a flag while building a path
- #20 If additional special click is enabled (specialClickAdditional) you need to use the special click for changing the stock management settings now (store into or release from stock)
- #22 The per cent sign for the morale of the knights in the settings is now also displayed if the number has three digits
- #2 Statistics for players and production are now also considered on saving and loading a savegame
- Some errors in drawing the statistics have been fixed (no curve on zero, curve too far on the right)

- Empty savegame slots will now be greyed out on loading window
- Optimized drawing of graphics which will speed up the game on high resolutions
