Editing Percentage attacks

WarLight allows players to enter attacks as a percentage instead of raw army numbers.

Note that the percentage is applied to the total number of movable armies when the attack occurs.  Therefore, if you want to split a stack equally between two attacks, you should first issue a 50% attack order and then a 100% attack order.  

For example, say you have a stack of 41 armies and you issue a 50% attack order.  One army must always stay behind, so 40 armies are movable.  50% of 40 is 20, so 20 armies will attack.

21 armies remain on the territory.  If your second attack also says 50%, only 10 of the remaining 20 armies will attack.  Entering 100% for the second attack causes an even split, 20 and 20.

In [[multi-attack]] games, percentage attacks are the deafult.
