EA Patch Nov 1 - Fixes for to hit bonuses, widescreen support, terrain attacking

On Steam

This is primarily to address a few issues, in particular issues with to hit calculations, attacking terrain and widescreen support. The to hit calculations in particular ended up making mid-late battle much harder and special abilities less useful.

Also, for immersion purposes, when you rename a character it automatically updates the journal, logs, etc to be that new name.

Bug fixes:
- About 80 special abilities weren't using all the bonuses regular attacks were getting, like flanking, backstab, etc
- Focus fire (attacking units multiple times) wasnt increasing to hit by +5% for heavily defended enemies. Which is kind of what it is there for.
- Elven Focus ability was decreasing attack to hit, not increasing
- When moving on trees or bushes, units would sometimes attack them instead of moving. Now to attack ANY terrain (trees, bushes, walls, etc) the player has to hold down the control button
- Improved support for widescreens.
- Fix exploit where you can reroll any skill/reawakening power simply by cancelling and going into the menu repeatedly
- Smite undead and Psionic attack now correctly do the damage they are projected to do
- Pincer, charging and flanking were giving bonuses but it wasn't showing properly
- Changing unit name will update the logs and journals with that name.

Balance:
- Increased minimum to hit % to be 10% from 5%

UI & Graphics:
- New mage images for allied dark elves, gnolls, ratkin, dragolin, few, tiefling and wraithkin. These will be adjusted in the future
- Moved the circular question mark icon to the bottom of the screen, much like for the world map

Misc:
- About double the number of unit names in the name pool, so less duplicates
