Editing AI Behavior (section)

== AI pathfinding ==

By repetitively testing the AI behavior when given a choice between visiting two different objects on the map, one can draw the following conclusions:


    -The AI always visits Obelisks rather than Creature Dwellings.

    -The AI always visits Creature Dwellings rather than Windmills.

    -The AI always visits Windmills rather than Wagons.

    -The AI always visits Wagons rather than Learning Stones.

    -The AI always visits Learning Stones rather than Observatories, Graves (HotA), or a pile of Gold.

    -When presented two objects between an Observatory, a Grave (HotA), or a pile of Gold, the AI always visits the object that's on its left side rather than the object that's on its right side (EXCEPT when it's a pile of Gold on the left and a Grave on the right. In this very specific case, the AI seems to choose randomly which object it will visit first.).

    -When presented one object between an Observatory, a Grave (HotA), or a pile of Gold, and one object between a Scholar and a Witch's Hut, the AI always visits the former.

    -The AI always visits Scholars or Witch's Huts rather than Corpses.

    -The AI always visits Corpses rather than Gardens of Revelation or Star Axes.

    -When presented a Garden of Revelation and a Star Axis, the AI always visits the object that's on its left side rather than the object that's on its right side.

    -The AI always visits Gardens of Revelation or Star Axes rather than a Hut of the Magi.


There are still a lot of comparisons to test in order to make this list exhaustive.

This is useful information for mapmakers who want to predict exactly the behavior of a given champion.
