Battles and Sieges

• Fixed a bug that opened a siege battle instead of field battle when attacking a besieger party.

Combat AI

Clan and Party

• Armor values and prices overhauled.
• Production of weapons and armors in towns tweaked.
• Aserai’s basic troop was Aserai Tribesman, however, it should be Aserai Recruit. This is fixed.
