Version 1.7.0 file

NOTES:

• IMPORTANT: Be sure to completely delete all previous versions of BTWK before installing version 1.6.0. Not doing so will result in a corrupted installation that will almost certainly be unplayable.
• This version is not intended to be compatible with any savegames started in 1.5.0/1. Do so at your own risk; we highly advise starting new games for this.
• As before, DO NOT enable the The Winter King - Portraits submod unless you have all of the required portrait packs (Celtic, Norse, Mongol, and Early Western Portraits), as otherwise you will face graphical issues.
• As usual, if you see any bugs, balance issues, or just weird behavior please feel free to report them so we can investigate and fix them.
