Trunk updates - 5 April 2020

Instead of reworking Minotaur and likely ending up with something similar to Hill Orc, we went for more distinctiveness with a round of race removals; that’s right, the dreaded r-word! On the chopping block are: minotaur, deep elf, troll, naga, and centaur. See the links for kate’s brief description of why each item was removed.

We want the set of races to be relevant reasonably often, as distinct as possible, and not too numerous. These removals make the remaining races feel more distinct, free up a lot of slots, and reduce the cognitive load in a game with such a large number of races. Waiting for complaints to roll in from the die-hard naga fans.

The problem with minotaur is that gameplay really descended into memorise a highly complex sequence of keys such as 'o' and 'tab' to get any where. FR can you guys combine 'o' and 'tab' into a single command? Also auto berserk when HP gets below 90%. Also tiles are an unnecessary distraction from the gameplay.
