It was happening when all slots were full but no unit even needed disbanding because the unit to be bought is part of the units that are inside of the existing slots.
(This commit contains excessive debugging but I don't want to remove it just yet incase another issue pops up.)
The score for buying army now scales with the cost of that army.
The cost of the units that need to be disbanded in order to hire the new units is subtracted from the army-hiring-score so the AI will prefer hiring armies where the amount of troops to disband is low or non-existent.
Fixed a bug that also disbanded troops when there still were free slots available.
When the AI cannot buy units in a city because all slots are blocked and the units in the slot are cheaper than the units it wants to buy, the AI will now get rid of the units that block that slot in order to be able to buy the better units.
AI will now also garrison a hero as defender if the town to be defended has troops as long as the hero can merge their own troops with the town.
AI will no longer just dismiss existing troops in a town if a hero trying to garrison there can merge with it.
Final goal (of multiple PR's) is to remove all remaining pointers from
serializeable game state, and replace them with either identifiers or
with shared/unique pointers.
CGTownInstance::town and CGHeroInstance::type members have been removed.
Now this data is computed dynamically using subID member.
VLC entity of a town can now be accessed via following methods:
- getFactionID() returns ID of a faction
- getFaction() returns pointer to a faction
- getTown() returns pointer to a town
VLC entity of a hero can now be accessed via following methods:
- getHeroTypeID() returns ID of a hero
- getHeroClassID() returns ID of a hero class
- getHeroType() returns pointer to a hero
- getHeroClass() returns pointer to a hero class
Currently this may lead to a case where player have received a query
(such as levelup query from Battle Academy in Dungeon), but still
attempts to move
The StayAtTown-behavior now always creates tasks for all heroes to go and stay at a town. It will be treated differently than going to a town for mana in the sense that it is only considered at the lowest priority-tier. So it will only happen when the AI doesn't find anything else to do. It should resolve one of the two main-reasons for losing weak heros.
The hunter-gather-priority-tier now goes strictly by distance for all taks that are considered above 0 in value.
All text processing code is now located in lib/texts.
No changes other than code being moved around and adjustment of includes
Moved without changes:
Languages.h -> texts/Languages.h
MetaString.* -> texts/MetaString.*
TextOperations.* -> texts/TextOperations.*
Split into parts:
CGeneralTextHandler.* -> texts/CGeneralTextHandler.*
-> texts/CLegacyConfigParser.*
-> texts/TextLocalizationContainer.*
-> texts/TextIdentifier.h
Added building-cost including all resoruces as evaluation-context for more sophisticated building-selection and also as a countermeasure to softlocking a build-order by having no ways to obtain certain resources.
For example, if the AI would drop below 5 wood, while having no market-place and no wood-income it will avoid building any buildings that neither allow trading nor produce wood.
