Description

Preliminary checks

Describe the problem requiring a solution

AI doesn't take into an account Troll's regenerative abilities leading to waste of shooter's arrows. Attack the nearest castle and use autobattle mode to see what happens: Rangers waste shots on Trolls.

Aventerra_0025.zip

Describe the possible solution

Make AI to not to waste shots for such cases: the simplest check would be if no magic exist and it is the last shooter to hit the enemy.

Research direction
Inspect the AI targeting code in the battle system to find where the decision to shoot enemies is made. Add a check for the Troll's regeneration ability to prevent wasting shots when the Troll can regenerate HP.
