			==Internal Recruitment Algorithm==

	~~==Recruitment Algorhythm explained==~~		Available recruits (hires) chosen from a list 180 units. The algorithm sequence at the start of a new day:
			1) Check if hires are at capacity for each list.<br>
	~~All units are generated on~~ a list ~~which has a total of 180 slots, so you can have a maximum of~~ 180 units of any type. There is a cap of 100 agents and 50 engineers. I do not know whether there is a hard cap of number of scientists, as I always end up with 100 agents, 50 engineers, and 30 scientists in total.		2) Randomly remove current hires or leave alone.<br>
			3) Randomise a quantity to appear.<br>
	The ~~slot that the unit fills is set in stone when it is GENERATED, not hired. Once a unit is placed in a certain slot, it stays there until fired or it dies.~~		4) Randomise appearances, in order: humans, bio-chemists, engineers, quantum physicists, hybrids and finally androids.<br>
			Additions to the hire list is no more than eight units.
	At the start of ~~every~~ day~~, the game goes thru a certain process for the recruitment (for agents, scientists, engineers)~~:

	a) ~~check the previous day's available recruits. If they remain hirable,~~ leave ~~them in current slot, otherwise remove them~~.

	b) ~~Roll~~ to ~~see if any HUMAN agents~~ appear. ~~If so~~, ~~generate them into the first available slots~~ in ~~the list.~~

	~~c) Roll for biochemists. Then~~ engineers~~. Then Astrophysics. And fill the first available slots. In that order.~~

	~~d) Ditto for Hybrids~~, ~~then~~ androids.

	~~Any units that are fired or die will free up their respective slots, but these slots will only be available~~ to ~~be filled up when~~ the ~~process starts over again the next day~~.
