Battle Only with a Castle Defense

[a1exsh]

Idea: add an option to the Battle-Only mode, where the defending troops and/or hero are in a Castle, to practice castle siege (or defense, for that matter ;)

The castle will need these options:

• Tavern, for the morale bonus
• Moat
• Left turret
• Right turret
• Captain
• Mage guild up to Level 2 and the spells available in it
• Depending on the type of the castle, the following special building:
  • Knight: Fortress
  • Barbarian: Colosseum
  • Sorceress: Rainbow
  • Wizard: Library
  • Necromancer: Storm

By the way, can someone confirm that the damage dealt by the Tower and the Turrets does not depend on the faction and/or how many structures are built in it (e.g. in Heroes I it does depend on that)?

Now that the Editor feature is really advanced, we should re-use the Castle Settings dialog to configure this:

• All structures not relevant to the battle should be shown restricted and it should not be possible to enable them
• Spells can already be set the usual way

Here's one idea where to add the castle config button:

Doesn't seem like there's much space left anyway. 😅

Yeah this is why I proposed on Discord to replace the terrain "button" with a button that says
"Battle-\n
Field"
and this opens a dialog that lets you select the various stuff we discussed. This is also to avoid putting even more buttons and stuff on this very crowded screen.
