Introduce attacks on space area

Vizvezdenec · mstembera · commit e9c52bd4bc66 · 2019-06-27T16:17:57.000-07:00
This patch introduces a small malus for every square in our space mask that is attacked by enemy. The value of the malus is completely arbitrary and is something we can tweak, also maybe we can gain some elo with tweaking space threshold after this addition.
