  • removed aom civs as factions
  • removed aoe3 faction "random"
  • fixed alphabetical order in Data.lua and IconData.lua

In Age of Mythology, civilizations are no factions, just a group of factions comparable to architecture sets in AoE2 or classical civilizations in AoE4. You can pick a civilization for a match, but you will just get a randomly picked god within this civ.

The modules are used for match info. It never makes sense to put a civ in aom as faction for a game instead of a god. This should not be possible.

I don't really mind them being there tbh, although it looks like we don't have any usage right now.

yeah, it's definetely not urgent. I just dislike unused code everywhere I see it. And here, I don't see a reason it will or should ever be used.

Additionally, these affect the civ counter on the main page.

No, that is a separate issue.
