Creatures who get robbed / try to intimidate you and have actual text to say ( read: humans ) will now use the above AmbientText function to do so.

+ Version 0.01 released and is available here: balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
- Future versions will be significantly different, with terrain added, art assets switched, more units and much simpler pathfinding.

+ Laying in the groundwork for terrain. This will be the main task for the upcoming month.
+ Frequent matchs for hunting bugs now. Not for balance though, far too early for that.
- Also not hunting bugs on Windows 7 or Windows Vista (lol).
- Additionally, not hunting bugs on 32 bit for now.
