Preliminary checks
- [X] I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.
Describe the problem requiring a solution
I am sitting at my town, AI hero (purple) is ignoring me, he is scounting near me with a very strong army, he could defeat me with no problem, but seems his aim is not to defeat me. saves.zip

Describe the possible solution
I think AI should defeat me first, than decide defeat those golems or not and then do whatever he wants.

No response
Just another example, AI army is stronger than mine, there is no way I can win battle. But he just moves somewhere else. He could win the map at this turn...

Hi @fheroes2bugs , are you using the latest version of the engine?
yes, 1.0.8
Hi, @fheroes2bugs
I can actually win this battle.
Starter hero has a huge stats and I even managed to save a medium amount of army:
I believe, that AI knows the stats of your hero (warning, cheating detected!) and he is just afraid to attack. Am I right, @ihhub ?

You are a human. Isn't a AI calculating risks of assumption, that he will fight AI too? If AI vs AI then my hero lose.
The AI will attack only if its army is much stronger than the opponent. This is not the case. The AI get army strength estimation based on the troops and hero stats so yes, indirectly the AI knows about hero's stats.
Agreed with @ihhub . After auto battle AI has just a pack of Giants left. Not really sure anyone would be satisfied with such a result...
Just an another example of AI behavior similar to first post of the issue.
AI has strong army:
In my castle I have only 5 dragons:
So it is no problem for computer to defeat me.
He is standing near my castle:
But (as I can see from debug info) he is going to visit Mercenary camp):
But he did not visit it. He moved to it, but did not reach it.
And then is going back to finally capture the town:

Sure, AI could capture my town without useless going back.
save: could capture.zip
Then (as I can see from debug info) is going to visit Mercenary camp):
This debug info shows objects that were already visited by this hero, and not the objects he is going to visit. AI decisions can be shown by enabling the corresponding AI logging level via the fheroes2.cfg.
Hi @ihhub behavior described in this issue could be fixed by #8952.
