Resolved Wrong dust trail in battles, battles lagging when troops are fighting with enemy, hiccups, long loading times and freezing, minor factions bug

[Sirvius]

Summary:

1. Very often in battles, I get wrong dust trail -> On snow I get dust trail from forest plains + there's this glitchy wind and snowflakes that hampers my FPS, On forest plains I get desert dust trail, and I didn't fight on desert terrains, so I cannot say, what will I get there.

2. Because of yesterday patch, I finally can move on campaign map without many freezes (but they're still there) and even get into battle without waiting patiently to even move my troops in formation, so I can move 250 units agains 250 units without a problem, but when they're fighting with each other, I feel like I'm watching Powerpoint presentation, but when enemies are fleeing the battle, I now regain control and have stable FPS'es. Why?

3. After leaving towns, villages, etc, with TAB, I get this 2 second freeze and then loading screen.

4. Minor factions seems to not recruit anyone into their ranks. After playing for 4 hours yesterday and fighting generals of minor factions like Lake Rats, Legion of The Betreyed etc., I found them staying in one city and not recruiting anyone, forever. Staying at like 8 troops or something. + Many other generals I didn't even fight, were below 10 troops and didn't move out of city either.

5. Aserai still start with Rank 2 troops instead of Aserai recruit, in my game at least.

How to Reproduce:

1. Get a lot of cavalry, and charge on any map. Maybe it's map specific, but I got this bug even in tournaments and arenas, so I don't think so.

2. Get 250 v 250 troops on campaign map and make them fight each other, when you're the commander.

3. Try to leave any settlement with TAB.

4. Fight minor factions or just stay in game for few hours and watch them.

5. Go to Aserai village and try to recruit someone.

As of version e1.0.5:

1. Not enough data
2. Better performance overall (at least on campaign map), but still, on battlefield, when my troops clash with my enemies, despite being low in numbers like 18 vs 13, the game lags like hell. After they're defeated and are retreating I have my FPS'es back.
3. Not fixed
4. Not enough data
5. Fixed
