Controls:

Tweaks:

*Reduced penalties to birth rate caused by low sense of safety

*Reduced the max syllable limit in newly generated words for languages

Fixes:

*Culture name generator would not pluralize "People of X", so it would actually read "Person of X"

*Fixed a bug where your roles for your hunter-gatherer group wouldn't be assigned if the role assignment menu was closed. This could lead to crashes when loading a save

*Fixed a crash when saving the game as an observer

*Fixed a crash when scouts discovered a new site

*Fixed a crash when you were prompted to adopt a tradition as a hunter-gatherer and chose accept

*Fixed a lot of hunter-gatherer events from causing crashes due to a shared issue in the code

*If you discovered a group that lived inside a cave, the marker could never disappear from your map

*Population can no longer grow if there is less than 2 population

*Potentially fixed a crash that could happen when opening the save menu while in-game
