When defending the AI is now much smarter to use their defensive-structures like walls, towers and the moat to their advantage instead of allowing them to be lured out and killed in the open.
A penalty-multiplier is now applied when deciding which units to walk towards. If an ally is closer than us to the enemy unit in question, we reduce our score for walking towards that unit too. This shall help against baiting a whole flock of AI-stacks to overcommit on chasing an inferior stack of the enemy.
Removed most of hardcoded checks for fort level or for presence of fort/
citadel/castle buildings.
It is now possible to define which parts of town fortifications are
provided by town buildings
Configuration for H3-like fortifications is provided in
buildingsLibrary.json and will be used automatically by mods as long as
mods have buidings named "fort", "citadel" and "castle".
Alternatively, mods can separately define:
- hitpoints of walls (shared value for all sections)
- hitpoints of central, upper and lower towers (separate values)
- presence of moat
- shooters for each tower (separate values)
- Replaced BattleSide namespace-enum with enum class
- Merged two different BattleSide enum's into one
- Merged BattlePerspective enum into BattleSide enum
- Changed all places that use integers to represent battle side to use
BattleSide enum
- Added BattleSideArray convenience wrapper for std::array that is
always 2-elements in size and allows access to its elements using
BattleSide enum
Fixed a bug that prevented the AI from using spells when attacking an enemy settlement that has towers.
The bug was caused by noticing how greatly effective spells would be against towers but not being able to actually target them.
By skipping invalid targets, this no longer is an issue.
Allowed the AI to cast spells that are aimed at a location instead of a unit. For example meteor shower.
Fixed an issue that caused the AI to not kill unit-stacks with spells due to only considering stacks where at least one unit survives in it's score-calculations.
