Loading a save causes all units to freeze until the game initializes fully

Basically this. After loading a game, I often don't see the minimap (just a black box) until the game fully initializes everything, and until it's done all units are frozen, that can be abused against AI (cast a spell like Recall on your whole army to escape, etc) and regardless looks extremely ugly.


Suggested solution: don't allow the player to start playing until the full initialization, keeping him at the loading screen.

The loading of the HUD is now delayed to the point where all other components have finished loading.
