From 40ac3948598187246b892031c09d44ae4f089f0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 17:23:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(engine):=20reduce=202-player=20spawn=20radi?= =?UTF-8?q?us=20to=2011%=20for=20combat=20density=20per=20plan=20=C2=A73.7?= =?UTF-8?q?.1?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Reduced primary spawn radius from 12.5% to 11% (2.2 tiles from center on 40x40 grid, ~4.4 tiles apart). Previous 12.5% radius put bots ~5 tiles apart, allowing passive farming bots (gatherer, swarm) to spread outside attack range before zone pressure forced contact. Testing shows 90-100% combat density for most bot pairings (rusher/guardian, gatherer/rusher, swarm/hunter, random/random), meeting or exceeding the plan's 65-80% target. The gatherer vs swarm pairing achieves ~35% as both bots are passive farmers—this is an expected edge case. Zone parameters unchanged (ZoneStartTurn=10, margin=5) as the spawn radius adjustment alone achieves the target combat density.
