Added DiffLines:

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ammo will share the same color text as the weapon it goes with. For example, the different types of shotguns all have orange text along withthe shotgun shells themselves. Assault rifle ammo is light blue like many of the guns it goes with. This is really useful as it helps prevent the player from buying the wrong type of ammo when they go to a store.

Added DiffLines:

* BoxedCrook: "The Solution" sends in crooks with a promise of a pardon.
* ButtonMashing: The melee attack button, which makes one attack when the button is pressed. If pressed at the maximum rate, you can take care of horde of zombies that approach, taking minimal damage yourself.


Added DiffLines:

* HerdHittingAttack: Weapons with non-zero penetration can hit multiple zombies at once.


Added DiffLines:

* RangedEmergencyWeapon: Available in Last Stand, which is reasonable at the start but is weaker than a fully upgraded melee attack.
