Improved Range Strike 2.0

This is a very small mod but with a very big potential effect.

Civ 4 actually includes functions for ranged combat, and the AI knows how to use it very well. It even limits ranged attacks to targets within line of sight - all the setup for a great tactical mod. However, the calculation for ranged attack damage results only in positive numbers; a ranged attack will never do zero damage. This means a mod like a WW2 mod is hard to make because even the smallest, tiniest infantry can destroy a tank from a distance in about 15 shots.

In this version (version 2) there are three tiny SDK changes:

• The base calculation for ranged combat damage now subtracts "RANGED_COMBAT_DAMAGE" (set in global defines) after figuring out the ratio between units. This means that a unit must have greater ranged strength than the enemy combat strength in order to damage them.
  
• In all strength calculations, hitpoints are now ignored. Damaging a Tiger tank that is already damaged is just as hard as damaging a full-health Tiger tank. (This should affect regular combat too, but I haven't checked yet.)
• (Note: the above does not affect the usual AI calculations for damage, so AI units will still think they have a great chance to beat damaged units outside ranged combat, even if they don't.)
  
• The AI for ranged combat was adjusted to use actual ranged combat damage instead of "AI attack odds", so the AI will not shoot at things it can't damage.
