- Position-weighted item roulette and rubber-banding
- AI opponents with skill-based driving and stuck-recovery
- Full track editor with live preview, validation, and export
- 275 verification checks covering schema, physics, AI soak, and determinism

Add audio feedback for combat events by introducing unit-specific sound
effects that play during attack animations. Each unit in civilization-rules.json
now has a battleSound property mapping to appropriate audio assets. Adds 10
new MP3 files (arrows, cannon, catapult, gunfire-classic/modern, helicopter,
missile, submarine, sword, tank) and integrates playback in CivilizationMapView's
combat lunge animation.

commercial, philosophical, zealous, mercantile, pioneering, wealthy) that
provide science/gold/shield multipliers, starting gold, and starting
technologies. Assign each opponent a trait in opponents.json.

game creation in CivilizationLogic
