UAI Updated (RotS support) with Yarki's Reduced AI Cheating

This mod is included in Shogun 2 Enhanced.

This is an update to TheHedgeKnight's Universal AI mod. Along with bugfixes and small tweaks, changes made by UAI are ported over to Rise of the Samurai DLC, mostly in the area of building orders. Yarki's Reduced AI Cheating mod is also included, merging them is the safest way to ensure they load correctly.

Highlights:

Changes from UAI:
AI gives more importance to military strength in diplomacy.
AI should play it a bit more safe when launching invasions (defend its regions more and attempt invasions when success is likely).
AI should defend its borders a bit more.
AI is less fixated on light ships.
Tweaks to autoresolve calculation.
Some duplicate entries and typos fixed. Changes to event & incident generation chances are reverted to vanilla, changes to diplomatic attitudes are removed (both were out of scope and could hurt compatibility with other mods).

RotS:
AI should prioritize Stronghold a lot more. The first upgrade should be very important as it introduces walls/fortifications, in vanilla AI rarely built that and sieges were often just field battles.
2nd tiers of military buildings are prioritized more, as they unlock powerful units. Minors are also more likely to build them.
Major clans should prioritize their respective Palaces (strong bonuses), while minor clans should focus a lot less on the Clan Estate chain.
Overall increase to the value of region specialties.
Major clans are more aggressive.
An important vanilla bug causing RotS AI to consider trade ships as light combat ships is fixed.

All credits goes to The Hedge Knight for creating the mod and MagicalSmalrusWalrusJones for keeping it alive on Workshop. I intended to make this something to be used wih UAI Revived, yet the nature of some fixes and unreliability of mod loading order made that impossible, so either use UAI Updated or UAI Revived, not both.
