Add starting troops to the AI parameters in the AIC files

[ByBurton]

As mentioned in #156 by Juggernaut:

It is stored in a separate array gStartupTroopCount[19][3][20] [StartupTroopGroupType (AIType or 18 + LordType for human)][GameType][StartupTroopType] pgStartupTroopCount = (int*)0x00614358 for v1.3

It would be super useful if those values could be changed for each AI in the ai personality parameters. There would be a few different values for it though. Starting unit types (up to 3 probably?) Starting unit amounts for each type. And all these for each game type (3 game types (or does deathmatch and normal count as the same for troops?) which all have different starting fairness options as well).

Which would mean that we have per fairness level per game type 3 unit types and 3 unit amounts. I have no idea how this could be simplified. (Would be 2 5 6 = 60 parameters if we do not count deathmatch towards it, as it has the same starting units as normal match)

@ilosevsrat I would prefer it you call me Kimberly :)

@ByBurton That's a great idea 😁

Will this be worked on? I could see myself using this extra start troop setup sheet for just removing start troops at all or giving everyone the same, or removing those, that stay unused (knights that end up as defensive firecampers...) and replace them with something more usefull...

Edit: maybe if you dont want to implement another starttroop sheet, editable to the enduser, it would be enough to have 3 options as AI lord improvements:

• remove starttroops entirely
• give everyone the same starttroops as the player (so 2 options for arab or europ will be inserted in each starttroop array)
• fix starttroops to a more usefull/reasonable array, which we discuss and vote on beforehand

It is quite simple to change starting units in Assembly as I have already done it before, and I could map it all, but I have no idea how to implement it into the AIC. I might look into it thought.

maybe just adding a new sheet for that would be sufficient. That can then add in 2 or 3 types of starting units per character. Easy to read interface and just another document. I dont think we need to put all in one big array. That would not be modular nor readable. And i would suggest putting new modules in new files anyways. We could call it the startingTroops.txt
