Unit Conversion / Capturing

[historic_bruno]

Capturing is defined as one player 'stealing' ownership of an entity from another player. The entities that are capturable in the game are domestic animals, female workers, and some structures (not walls, or towers, or special structures - see #996). Some outdated info from the design doc:

• Entity must be capable of performing capture
• Enemy entity must be within specified capture range
• Enemy entity must stay in capture range for a specified time
• No enemy units have the enemy entity in their LOS

Potential modifications of capture behavior:

• Entity must have hitpoints below a specified percentage value
• Capturer has a 'cooldown' before another capture may be performed
• Capture time (long/short)
• Capture radius (small/big)
• May not be any entities garrisoned within the structure
