      █ █ - Added checks in auto resolve to be sure a unit can counter   █ █
      █ █   attack and its target can be counter attacked.               █ █
      █ █                                                                █ █

      █ █ - Moved the logic to refresh troop numbers to happen when a    █ █

      █ █ - A unit's max health is now properly based on the maximum     █ █

      █ █ - In tactical battles units that have no spell can no longer   █ █

      █ █ - Added the IsSpecialAbility tag to SpellDefs. Enabling this   █ █

      █ █ - Fixed issue that was preventing quests from placing          █ █
      █ █   locations with their preferred type (CQuestDef wasn't saving █ █
      █ █   the preferred type, so when the data zip was loaded, it      █ █

      █ █ - Fixed some crashes on load from if a unit type was retired   █ █
      █ █   while a unit of that type was in a training queue, since the █ █
      █ █   unit type would be removed from the global vector but some   █ █
      █ █   things would still be looking for it on load. Now the        █ █
      █ █   function to remove a retired unit type checks the training   █ █
      █ █   queues of all the cities, too, and when the AI retires a     █ █

      Û Û - Fixed issue that was preventing quests from placing          Û Û
      Û Û   locations with their preferred type (CQuestDef wasn't saving Û Û
      Û Û   the preferred type, so when the data zip was loaded, it      Û Û
      Û Û   would be null).                                              Û Û
      Û Û                                                                Û Û
      Û Û - Fixed some crashes on load from if a unit type was retired   Û Û
      Û Û   while a unit of that type was in a training queue, since the Û Û
      Û Û   unit type would be removed from the global vector but some   Û Û
      Û Û   things would still be looking for it on load. Now the        Û Û
      Û Û   function to remove a retired unit type checks the training   Û Û
      Û Û   queues of all the cities, too, and when the AI retires a     Û Û
      Û Û   unit type, it removes it from its list of designs.           Û Û
      Û Û                                                                Û Û
      Û Û - I think this also fixes some crashes on load from the        Û Û
      Û Û   testers downstairs, where I would see units looking for AI   Û Û
      Û Û   designed unit types that weren't in the unit type list       Û Û
      Û Û   anymore, as well as the loading in of the AI designed unit   Û Û
      Û Û   type vector, but I'm just making an educated guess based on  Û Û
      Û Û   the fact that the AI automatically retires unit types it     Û Û
      Û Û   designs itself. This does fix a reproducible crash related   Û Û
      Û Û   to training units at least, though.                          Û Û

      Û Û   (ex. Relias with Capitar) then playing against the race      Û Û
