GUI - Civ Selection Dialog

[kaiserfro]

• Modify existing game setup dialog for quick civ selection. Replace civ name with a dropdown to allow for quick selection for an experienced user.

• Create new civ selection details dialog. Dialog opens by clicking on a button or emblem on the game setup screen. The new screen should be broken up onto multiple panes containing various peices of information: history, bonuses, heroes, emblem. The dialog could be themed based upon the currently selected civ: background image, sample unit image. There could be some tooltip hot areas that convey even more information.

• Civ information should be kept in a group(?) of XML files describing each civ. Each file should contain the information that would be displayed on the selection screen so that the information on the dialog is not hard-coded. Information stored could be: name, history text, bonus text, hero text, emblem, images, and possibly sim info like special units available etc.
