Adjustments and Balance
- Nerfed garrisons; they still pose a challenge when upgraded

- Increased the Minimize/Maximize Header button in the HUD so it's more visible
- Tweaked the Change weather and Change time of day button visuals to make them more noticeable
- Weather and time of day is now non-dynamic by default (only affects new game starts). You can still manually change it to whatever weather and day/night status you want.
Fixes
- Optimized tutorial loading to prevent possible crashes (reduced memory allocation)
- Fixed an issue that would occur when an army unit reached its maximum level; the error ocould caues the game to crash
- Fixed a potential crash when loading saves (the save was basically corrupted, but it will load now)
- Fixed several potential crashes when autosaving; the crash was due to undefined renderers in traffic objects
- Fixed numerous instances of Unity 'overloading' the log file that would cause the game to stutter
- Fixed several issues that could potentially cause the game to crash seemingly at random after several hours of playing, even on high-end computers
