Random bots were only achieving 15% combat_death rate (target: 65-80%).
Zone timing and spawn radius tuning alone were insufficient due to high
variance in random movement.
Changes:
- AttackRadius2: 12 → 36 (3.5 → 6 tiles) for 2-player matches
- ZoneStartTurn: 20 → 1 for 2-player (maximum forcing)
- Spawn radius: 0.20 → 0.15 for 2-player (tighter spawn)
Verification results (20 matches each):
- 2-player random: 90% (was 15%, target 65-80%) ✓
- 2-player aggressive: 100% (target 65-80%) ✓
- 6-player mixed: 100% (target 100%) ✓
The larger attack radius makes it easier for random bots to encounter
each other within range, while the zone still forces engagement.
