because they ignore three facts. Firstly, mil casualties decrease
strength linearly, while unit casualties decrease it quadratically
(unit strength scales with mil * eff). Secondly, casualties decrease
strength proportional to the combat multiplier, hence twice as much
mil are more powerful than double multiplier. Thirdly, units break
and retreat. Change the estimate from mil * mult to mil * sqrt(mult).
Improves things in simulations, hope it works out in practice as well.
Closes#682571.
(lnd_path): Use it.
(lnd_mobcost): Use it, remove last parameter. Callers changed. This
fixes mobility use of trains when retreating, both for retreat orders
and for failed morale checks.
(retreat_land1): Fix test for impassable terrain. Before, trains
could retreat off rail.
(lnd_take_casualty): Test for impassable terrain. Before, trains
could retreat off rail.
(att_reacting_units): Use it. Fixes overcharging of inefficient
units. Broken when Empire3 changed land unit mobility use not to
depend on efficiency, except for supply units.
(lnd_sweep): Use it. No functional change.
(speed_factor): New, factored out of lnd_pathcost() and shp_mobcost().
move costs, but failed to make A* use these costs. This broke land
unit path finding. Fix:
(MOB_ROAD, MOB_MOVE, MOB_MARCH): Split MOB_ROAD into MOB_MOVE and
MOB_MARCH. Users changed.
(lnd_mobcost, sector_mcost): Move minimum mobcost logic to
sector_mcost(), where it is visible to A*. Also fixes unit reaction
path cost.
(lnd_path): Fix confusing message: don't claim there's no path when
all we really know is that there's no railway.

(ac_planedamage, detonate, attack_val, defense_val, air_damage)
(msl_intercept, msl_launch_mindam, pln_prewrite, shp_prewrite):
Simplify unit destruction: just zero efficiency, leave makelost()
etc. to the prewrite callback.

(upd_ship, ship_repair, min, dmin, MIN):
Remove min() and dmin() functions and replace
with a MIN macro in misc.h. Remove local MIN
macros and use the new one in misc.h. This
change removes the need for the special
case for _WIN32.

units in the sector with the highest-numbered unit were interdicted.
A marching non-spy made all marching spies visible to interdiction
regardless of location. Interdict sector by sector, similar to
shp_nav_one_sector(). Interdict spies only if they are together with
non-spies in the same sector.
capacities to straight arrays. Users now subscript the array instead
of calling vl_find() or walking the variable data structure.
(mchr, lchr): Initializers adapted.
(vl_find): No longer used. Remove file.

(build_ship, build_plane, build_land, supgr, pupgr, lupgr): Use them.
Upgrading planes no longer sets plane range to maximum.
(pupgr): Just clear the mission, don't bother to clear op area.
(doship, doplane, dounit): Editing tech now updates stats, like an
upgrade command. Proper range checking.
(warn_deprecated): New.
(pr_ship, doship): Deprecate key 'D'.
(pr_land, dounit): Deprecate key 'A' and 'D'.
With variables, item increases beyond the capacity of variables
(65535) were ignored here.
This should cover all item changes not going through putvec().
To save space, the ancients invented `variables': a collection of
key-value pairs, missing means zero value, space for `enough' keys.
This complicates the code, as assigning to a `variable' can fail for
lack of space. Over time, `enough' increased, and for quite some time
now `variables' have been *wasting* space. This changeset replaces
them, except in struct mchrstr, struct lchrstr and struct pchrstr,
where they are read-only, and will be replaced later. It is only a
first step; further cleanup is required. To simplify and minimize
this necessarily huge changeset, the new item[] arrays have an unused
slot 0, and the old variable types V_CIVIL, ... are still defined, but
must have the same values as the item types I_CIVIL, ...
