close #6527

Plus some small optimizations in pathfinding as we add extra complexity during rendering.

@ihhub, I've tested and it works good. I believe we should make it accessible for touch devices too.

This can be performed by making the unit movement range shown when hovering the cursor over the unit as some users have suggested.

This can be made as an option and I can come up with an icon for that, something like a unit with the cursor over it.

Rough sketch

Hi @zenseii , the biggest problem is space in the settings dialog. It simply doesn't have anymore slots.

@ihhub, you're right. We can make a new sub menu with Shadow Cursor and Movement Range Highlight. It can be something like Cursor options. We can use the Shadow Movement icon to retain UI familiarity for users, or come up with a new one. I can take care of the icon work if necessary.

Hi @zenseii , it would be great if you can handle the icon work.
I am focusing on the AI part at the moment.

@ihhub , I'll take care of it.
