:bug: Don't follow stuck leader

Open AJenbo opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Fixes #2232

This causes minions to evaluate if there leader is stuck before continuing to follow it blindly. It is not uncommon for the leader to be temporary stuck for a split second, meaning that this change will cause some slight behavioral changes to groups in general where they will now prefer to move forward if their leader has yet to make up his mind. So groups are more prone to splitting up, however usually they will almost instantly regroup as the leader is rarely far behind.

For that reason I would prefer if we can have some play testing of this PR before it is merged, @Chance4us do you have time to do so?

Before: stuck

After: free

Yes, as soon as I find trouble free time

@AJenbo The PR improves the game a lot, see also #3129. So I think we should merge it in any case. I only noticed a clear improvement through the PR and no negative side effects.
