New epic story event: The scourge of Raana

The player now has the option to enable an end game *Dengi invasion event* - both at startup and in the options menu. This event is set to OFF as default.

Once the amount of played days ($days gte $dengi_days) has reached or surpassed the "days" setting, there's a 20% daily chance of the initial event chain to execute. Once that event chain reaches "The Rise of The Dengi King", Ikaanos is invaded by a roughly 5,000+ man strong army of monstrous creatures that'll try to destroy human civilization and enslave its people.

The player can actively try to defeat the dengis, who're harassing The entire Red River Basin and Kasey's Park. By fighting his way through the hordes of degenerates all the way to the Dengi King in Bela's Marsh, the player can also play a direct role in ending the invasion, which provides unique loot and a new trait.

Skyguard is actively trying to fight this monstrous threat, however, and will deplete the dengi warrior count based on a number or factors. Unfortunately, Skyguard will also be depleted. If Skyguard drops below 200 men, and if the king is still alive, the destruction of Ikaanos begins, which immediately ends the game.

The active stance of Skyguard provides an alternative route for a non-combat oriented MC who can aid by providing NPCs and weaponry.

Note that dengi swarms are considered to be a very high-tier enemy. The dengi king is also extremely difficult to take out.

Bathroom overhaul

• Bathing now only takes 30 minutes instead of one hour.
• Increased Stamina and Health regeneration (from baths) by 30-50%.

New Darkmere map

Darkmere's map has been completely overhauled to facilitate the new sawmill framework (see below).

Slave market changes

• Very high market saturations will now speed up the replenish rates by roughly 50%.
• Slave market saturation will now receive a +50% replenish rate boost if City Liberty is below 20 *or* City Corruption is 60+ *and* Prosperity is 60+.

Overhauled debug menu (Tier4+)

The old NPC debug menu has been completely overhauled and now includes the MC and World settings, in addition to a greatly expanded set of variables for NPCs.

New building: Sawmill

The MC is now able to purchase lumber rights at Darkmere, set up a sawmill and harvest wood.

Installing a burner also provides gunpowder (from charcoal).

The sawmill comes with a unique reforestation framework. It can also be converted into a farm once all the trees have been cut down.

Room assignment overhaul

Any NPC who's sleeping in a private room with at least one bed will now increase his or her Affection up to Friendly, if that NPC is a servant or less *and* if that NPC's Anger is below 2. The room needs to be upgraded to at least lvl 1 and not have more than four occupants.

Economy pane changes

Business penalties and bonuses from Control are now deducted *after* calculating total business income. The "Control mod" notation has also been moved down to the calculation document, working exactly like the Prosperity mod.
