Faction suggestion : Desert beavers

Beaver life spans and births
I suggest randomizing the life span of beavers within some range, so that they don't always die in batches when they die of old age. Usually, if one or more lodges ...

Materials in Warehouses should be sorted by Categories (Building Materials, Food Items, etc..) not alphabetical.
