There's 3 new evaluation-contexts that are now taken into account:
Whether an action is building, whether an action involves sailing and the newly introduced threat.
The value-evaluation of creatures now also takes special resources into account.
No longer treating other AIs differently than players when it comes to how afraid we shall be of them.
The cost of buildings for decision-making now determines missing resources. Available resources are ignored when it comes to how they impact the cost. But missing-resources will heftily impact the assumed price by calculating their market-value. This shall encourage the AI to rather build what it currently can build instead of saving up for something that it lacking the special resources for.
AI is no longer willing to sacrifice more than 25% of their army for any attack except when it has no towns left.
Revamped the priority-tiers of AI decision-making.
Higest priority is conquering enemy towns and killing enemy heroes. However, the AI will no longer try to do so when the target is more than one turn away and protected by a nearby enemy-hero that could kill the one tasked with dealing with the target. Except when they have no towns left. Then they get desperate and try everything.
As a general rule of thumb one could say the AI will prioritize conquest over collecting freebies over investing army to get something that isn't a city. It's a bit more complex than that but this is roughly what can be expected. It will also highly value their own heroes safety during all this.
Startup-behavior was messing with my intended logic. Mostly by getting excess heroes for no real purpose other than that it could.
This wasted a lot of money that could be better invested on subsequent turns.
I removed it and playing-strength actually went up.
A fix Ivan posted about on Discord that takes care of a newly introduced bug in development-branch that you had to reselect your hero manually after a new turn because he would otherwise think he's still on last-turn when it came to executing planned movement.
The magic-strength of a hero now checks if the hero has a spellbook and at least one combat-spell.
The impact of knowledge and spellpower to the hero's magic-strength is now also depending on it's current and max mana-pool-size as an empty mana-pool does not exactly contribute well to fights.
Replaced every call of getFightingStrength() with getHeroStrength() which uses both the fightingStrength and the (reworked) magicStrength to guess how much stronger a hero-lead army is.
