Fixes

• Optimized tutorial loading to prevent possible crashes (reduced memory allocation)
  
• Fixed an issue that would occur when an army unit reached its maximum level; the error ocould caues the game to crash
  
• Fixed a potential crash when loading saves (the save was basically corrupted, but it will load now)
  
• Fixed several potential crashes when autosaving; the crash was due to undefined renderers in traffic objects
  
• Fixed numerous instances of Unity 'overloading' the log file that would cause the game to stutter
  
• Fixed several issues that could potentially cause the game to crash seemingly at random after several hours of playing, even on high-end computers
