Features/Improvements

• Added a new pilot, the Driller, who can destroy a chunk of ground around their airship every 60s as an active ability. Use this pilot to drop enemy buildings that are sitting on precarious edges, or use them to make edges more precarious! This pilot is unlocked in the campaign, if you’ve already beat the campaign you’ll automatically have access.
• Added a new pilot, the Banker, who gains 1g per 5 seconds per economy building out on the map. Stack them with gold mines and banks for maximum gold output. The Banker can be unlocked from the Armory.
• Added a new building, the Fortified Mine, it costs more than a regular mine, but has additional health and heals buildings around it over time. The fortified mine can be unlocked from the armory. This one could be tough to balance, so let me know what you guys think after you’ve tried it in battle.
• AI will now try to use Prince, King, Task Master, and Minionette powers actively
• Improved AI target selection (it now prefers not to attack targets that require lots of digging to get to)
