36. Reworked the way in which engineer value is calculated during battles, to reduce issues occurring because of integer math on small numbers. Infantry as well as flamethrower elements will also contribute to engineer value. Typical rifle squad is worth 1/10 of an engineer squad, but commando and flamethrower squads are as effective as engineers. Reduced the impact of fatigue and ammo shortages on engineer value. Made sure artillery chance to damage fortifications, based on ammo use, is calculated properly. Heavier artillery will have more chances to damage fortifications
