Unstable 3 has arrived, and is chalk full of AI improvements galore! The focus of this patch was to refine a lot of the AI behavior trying to fix some of the annoying issues that creep up occasionally. I hope you guys enjoy it all!

The change log may be short, but the code behind all these AI changes are quite extensive, so be sure to report any issues you may have! :)

AI Improvements

• Way Makers can now carry multiple resources at once to roads.
  
• Workers will no longer steal resources assigned to road construction.
