Summary0001478: AI doesn't buy troops in town, that are avalable to hire. Even if player army is standing near town.
DescriptionAI doesn't buy troops in town, that are avalable to hire. Even if player army is standing near town.

I tested this on new towns (didn't tested it with standard towns).

It makes a big difference if "AI does not hire troops at all and never" or just "AI doesn't hire troops when enemy hero is near the town". For the latter, AI was never designed to play against human opponnent and can only play solo.

You said that AI must buy troops each day. So this is not working - for 3 days AI bought no units. I hope this will be fixed for 0.94. Without this game is barely playable.

Actually, AI buys troops at the end of the day if it can afford them.

Can't test savegame because it contains something like "AVLESSER VAMPIRE". Please do not provide saves with custom mods, at the very most use only ones from our server.
