Unknown-Horizons Windows Installer

Unknown-Horizons based on Fifengine is no longer in development. We are porting it to Godot Engine.

Please dont report any new bugs.

Only bugfixes will get acepted for maybe an last release.

New git repo for the Godot port is: https://github.com/unknown-horizons/godot-port

Unknown Horizons is a 2D real time strategy simulation with an emphasis on economy and city building. Expand your small settlement to a strong and wealthy colony, collect taxes and supply your inhabitants with valuable goods. Increase your power with a well balanced economy and with strategic trade and diplomacy.

Exclude unnecessary files

I installed the game using the installer and it includes unnecessary files, such as:

Mypy.ini
.editorconfig
...

Right now it seems that some files are deleted explicitly when building the installer. Perhaps it's a good idea to consult the MANIFEST.IN file in the uh repo.

Create Translations files for installer

@jakoch maybe you can say me what im doing wrong?
